Grade boundary A* predictions anyone?

A* is normally high, wasn't it at 90% (36) last year? I honestly can't see it being that high this year...but I don't know where they'll put it :s-smilie:

Got an A then, I'm really really upset with myself

I'm pissed off I didn't put "desarrollar", because I knew it was right

Don't beat yourself up, they might be lower this year as the papers were difficult :smile:

I hope it's 35/40 for the reading. Do you think it might be ?

Did anyone else put "disfrutar la vida" for the last question?

Yes, I did :smile:

because he was talking about settling down and getting married and things and that he was still young wasn't he?

I think so

OP

On the reading would you get a mark if you said 'there was a line to the airport'?

The last two sections (semana santa and the paper factory) were insane. Everyone I knew guessed those, and some of the reading was hard, especially the photography competition - why would you put photos on a carpet? For the other option I put postcards because I recall reading "carterras", but apparently this means portfolio. Annoying since I did well on all of the past papers and felt so motivated to get an A*, but I don't think that's possible after those last two listening sections, they destroyed me.
