oh ok - i did the january one. Well, the grade boundary for that was around 80% for an A* i think because it was considerably 'hard' so below 80% for this paper would seem reasonable. Depends on paper 2 though.

I usually get 90+ and I came running to my teacher in tears! It was so horrible to work so hard for months and then have it all come crashing down at the last moment...... luckily I think I only lost around 11 marks..... good luck to everyone doing the 4h paper on the 4th, i'm doing mine too and am DREADING IT

The only chance of me getting an A* is if I get 100% in 4h :s-smilie:

GUYS GUYS GUYS For an 80% (let's take this as the A* grade boundary for a sec) overall on the two papers, don't forget that you can technically lose 40 marks total as they average the two papers out! So don't panic. :smile:

if you lose around 11 marks on the next paper too, you're going to get an A* easily. :smile:

200 - 22 = 178 ----> 89% : just shy of your 90+ target but still higher by quite a bit than the normal A* boundary

Yeah but a maths teacher at my school reckons it will be below 80. She had students who usually get 90%+ in maths papers coming to her in tears.

these 2 go to the same school, it seems :wink:
