Thursday 7 March 2013 GCSE results - grade boundaries

I feel sorry for my class a bit because the teacher for Physics wasn't too good but a lot of it came natural because it was a very maths based unit, which is my top ability.

You can use an example such as Stephen Hawking to explain why such boundary setting is not right, 60/60 is 100% and he could easily make the odd mistake yet hardcore revisers, who don't know the subject half as good but didn't make any daft mistakes would get 100%, they deserve an A* but not 100% and he would obviously deserve 100%.If grade boundaries where set low but questions made harder then Stephen Hawking still might make mistakes but would get the 100% and people, who don't really understand the subject would get the A* they deserve and not 100% because they might struggle to even answer the questions but people, who understood the subject could.

Do you know where to find the a-level grade boundaries for jan 2013

Thanks, I've added them to the OP



There is no "actual" time for when they are released.

Grade Boundaries for Physics and Chemistry are shocking and unfair.Grade Boundaries for French are good and the Grade Boundary for Geography is wonderful.I think that grade boundaries should always be kept low as a rule because grade boundaries like 51 for an A* in Physics only discriminate against good pupils through the silly and daft mistakes, which I feel isn't a fair system.Papers should be made harder to be more challenging and to prevent really clever people, from losing out for silly mistake and this system would give A*s to pupils who hasd risen to the challenge and conquered the really tough, extension of spec questions and not missed out by silly mistakes.
