Im re-taking this November! after being one mark away from a grade C, and when I relised this, it was too late to appeal.
Does anyone know what the grade boundaries are this year for intermediate tier? My coursework is most likely to be a grade D - not good, I know. Im guessing I would need to scrape a grade B in the exams to get an overall C? A grade B would be around 65-70 marks, right? someone please reply! its driving me crazy cos the exam is comin up soon.........

Well look at it this way, if you were 1 mark off last time just revise a little harder than last time and you'll be well within the boundaries.

Yeah I suppose you have a point!
Im just hoping the grade boundaries dont change too much! If they do change, then I hope they go down! (for my sake!!)

Why didn't your school pick that up and appeal straight away?? They get the marks and the grade boundaries. Poor on their part IMO.

I'm going the exam next week. According to my maths teacher the boundaries go down because the November test is harder than the June one.

Anyone doing it with AQA tomorrow? its the non-calculator paper so it aint gonna be THAT hard *crosses fingers*, that leaves you with a few nights this week to revise the calculator paper.

Anyway, its the last time this exam is done in November with AQA, my teacher said, he also said they may be more lenient as this is the last time you can carry marks over etc and because its the last time..who knows.

You are in the same boat as me lad. I'm doing my a-levels, but I could never get maths at all. Coursework done and dusted and sent away.

I wanna get this out of the road.
