grade boundaries

I thought the Edexcel maths was really hard this year and so did a lot of others so I did think the grade boundaries would have gone down but they went up how can this be right

yes you are talking sense my friend but i think due to Michael Goves "hard exams and high grade boundaries" policy he made sure every exam board made their exams harder and increased their grade boundaries. I guess life is sure one unfair game.
The A* went down by 1 mark though to 164.
Yeah the boundary went down from 82.5% to 82% and i thought the maths exam was easy, js

good for you ...you are one of the minority of people on here that took the exam..some of us find maths hard and that paper was nothing like any papers I had practiced from previous years..it doesn't seem fair

I certainly found the paper hard and am sure I'll have to retake for the A*, but all my friends found it fine. We are in the minority, I think. Only in Year 10 so retaking is fine and all, but I'll just be so embarrassed tomorrow when I'm the only one who didn't get the A*.
