Thought it was relatively simple. For whatever reason I messed up on the percentage difference question and I was a bit unsure able the globalisation effects on AS Plc? What did people put for this one?

Thought the 8 markers were kind.

I messed up too on the percentage difference one... Oh well! at least it wasn't 4 marks or something.

Loved the 8 markers!

Yeah the paper was nice, usually high grade boundaries though. One I struggled on was globalisation (don't know what it means) and monopoly !

Do you know where I can get a hold of the paper, or questions ?
Does anyone know what the grade boundaries are???
Plus I got 50% for the percentage difference and so did cleaver kids at my school :s-smilie:
According to my teacher the boundaries for an A will be very very low as a result of the ease of the examination

Rumour had it that only 32 marks achieved will definitely gain a grade A and 35 will be a definite A*

However, this is just according to my teacher

There's definitely no way it will be that low! Because the exam was easy the grade boundaries will be higher! Making it more difficult to get an A

But our teacher thinks it'll be 80, and I thought its usually 72-74.

Where is your prediction coming from ?
