More speculation: the Mark needed for a C in Edexcel Maths?

Anyone got ideas on the boundary for A* for the non calculator paper I got 80/100 if possible a boundary for this paper and the GCSE overall ?
thanks for any replies

I thought it was a slightly more challenging than usual paper I thought I got low-mid 80's depending on where method marks are awarded. I would estimate around 163-165 for boundaries, so if you aim for high 80's once again on calculator, then you should be able to get an A* :smile:

Thanks yeh calculators my better paper anyway :smile:
usually the grade boundaries for A* are around 80 - 86 so if you got around there, there's a high chance of you getting an A*

The grade boundaries are normally between 81 and 84 for the edexcel papers (typically one mark higher in the calculator)

A* an A is normally around 67/68
So if I got 57/58 marks this would likely be a B?
what would be the minimum for a B

Minimum for a B is normally around 49/50
Last year to get an A overall you needed 133 what do you think it will be this year? Will it be lower?

Both papers had a higher standard of difficulty than previous years
Just under 90% of the country who sat Edexcel Maths Specification A found it more challenging and felt they did bad, thus the boundaries will most likely decrease
I personally felt I scored about 50 in paper 1 and about 75 in paper 2
Getting just over an A grade
What about you?
