    grade boundary help? edexcel maths? please
    hi im really stressed right now. i did the edexcel maths unit 3 exam a few days ago. i really need and an A. unit 1 and unit 2 are worth 120 UMS. i got 96 and 97 (literally just A's). unit 3 is worth 160UMS. so out of 400 UMS you need 320 for an A. the exam i did was out of 80 and i think i got 57/58 out of 80. im probably making no sense as im so stressed right now. everyone found it pretty easish. i know you cant predict grade boundaries as you didnt do it but can someone please? in maths what is generally the grade boundary for an A. my teacher said 65%? that seems pretty low for me? anyone help?

    That's probably a high B or low A, but don't worry the grade boundaries are likely to be low as we were the first to take the exam and so we didn't know what to expect
