I found it about the same level. Although June 2014 had some harder questions in it, I think ours contained slightly more topics, that required a bit more depth - I hope boundaries do drop a few marks, because my coursework was quite a low mark.


What did you get ?

I think it's the coursework that brings lot of people's grades down.

What do you mean? So it would be 104-80 = 24 - 24 people said Yes to being a badass :P

But then wouldn't it just be 24/160 because its the percentage of the total people in the company who reported being sick - because its an estimate as it has to be representative of the whole population. I see what you mean being 24/80 as its those who answered the question who were selected, but to make it representetive of the entire population, would they do it out of their entire sample, or just the 80 xD - as I said weird question..


There were 160 people in the sample, half are immediately out of the question as they threw heads.
24 of the 80 answered the question, to estimate from the entire sample you would need to double both figures (as you assume the same number of people from the heads group would say yes), so you would end up with 48/160 people from the entire sample (24/80 for each group)

Yeah, on average Judge B gave 0.5 more marks. Don't be sorry for asking so many questions :smile:
What did you's get for the question with the population pyramid and you had to say how many more females there were than males as a percentage?

In an ideal world:

Biology: A*
Chemistry: A*
Physics: A*
Maths: A*
English language: A*
Geography: A*
ICT: A*
Statistics: A*
Business studies: A
English literature: B
German: C

I'm crossing my fingers so tightly for those grades, since I've put so much work in, not just recently but over the entire two years of GCSE! I probably won't get those grades though :/

If I got a B in coursework could I still get an A* overall if I get say 95/100 in the exam. If I don't how much more would I need/if I would get an A* by how many marks?
