Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics 4MA0 4H - 4th June 2015

Realistically, loads of people say 4H went really well, (personally I screwed up a bit in parts) but it was definately on the easier side of past papers. Luckily 3H was just harder. Expect grade boundary to be on the mean 80-82 A* 65A 48B 26C

But do the rest of you think 166-173 out of 200 will be enough for an A*?

I think we would be very unlucky to not get an A* with a grade around there. It takes two easy papers to be above82 normally

What are y'all predicting for grade boundaries?
I'd say 85 A*. 72 A. 60 B. 54. C.
I know these are quite high but i thought the paper was really good and (judging from the unofficial mark scheme) I got 87 :smile:

what are your feelings?

I really hope they're not that high! Usually for maths and english there are 20% gaps between the grade bounderies, and they're never far off: 82-85% A*, 61-65% A, 42-46% B, 25-29% C.. I've been getting Bs all year and I've never got more than 55%

Here are the outlines of grade bounderies for previous years: http://www.markfitzsimons.com/maths/igcse/IGCSE_Grade_Boundaries_May_2004_Jan_2014.pdf

It hasn't been 85 since 2009, these were just as hard as say the 2013 paper which was 82 or the 2014 which was 80. I said before I got 95 in the 2013 paper, I'm getting around 85 now...yes a couple of silly mistakes but an A* really shouldn't be above 82

No idea how to do a poll but can people say on a scale of 1 to 5 how they found each paper. 1 being much harder than usual. 5 being much easier than usual. Try to predict your grades for both. Eg. If you normally get A*'s then 75 on paper 1 would be (1) much harder thancusual

I'm really worried the A* will be higher than 84, but on the other hand it shouldn't be because June 2014 was considerably easier than this and that was 80 for an A*

I think because the 4H was easier everyone is forgetting how hard 3H was, I really doubt it will be higher than 82
