    When are Grade Boundaries released???
    People are sayin' that they're released at midnight of August 15th, but do they mean 12AM of the 14th (technically the 15th) or midnight of the 15th (technically the 16th) ?

    Thanks

    Well it's usually like I said, at 00:00/00:01 on the 16th August.
    I usually stay up all night, because I can't sleep, and try and get the grade boundaries written down ready before I go.
    Some exam boards do delay a little, so don't post them till maybe around 6am on the morning of the 16th.

    It's never like the full day before.
    Well it's not been for the past 2 years, because I've stayed up every time because im too nervous to sleep :P x
