I did a GCSE maths paper in November and June. I got the exact same mark on both. So in terms of difficulty i'd say they are more or less the same each time. The June grade boundaries for me were higher. :dontknow:

Oh i though june had lower grade boundaries for eg, you needed 131 marks for an A in june 2013, but in november 2013 you needed 139 for an A:s-smilie:

Fair point. It depends on which grade you're looking at. :tongue:
