Grade Boundaries

Will grade boundaries drop this Summer? With the scrapping of January exams there will be no retakes and people have to take more exams at once so may not perform as well- hence leading to a sharp drop in boundaries. What do you think?

I doubt it tbh. The government don't want it to seem like exams are getting easier so I wouldn't be surprised if they put pressure on the exam boards to keep grade boundaries the same, especially if this leads to a lower percentage of A*/A's etc…

My prediction is that there will be no statistically significant difference in the grades awarded this summer than last summer.

I agree, I think for this to happen grade boundaries are likely to fall

True, they don't want to make things easier, but at the same time they cant make them significantly harder than last year, that would be incredibly unfair on those sitting exams this year. I'd be amazed if the % of A*/A grades were allowed to fall
