(That's equivalent to an A.) How much did you revise in the year 10 to 11 summer?

got Grade 9 due to going over content and memorising the mark scheme and doing lots of past papers

Well, about 85-90% of students cant manage it in a given subject, so mildly hard on average.

Getting a 7 is somewhat difficult but at GCSE but I think if you're the kind of person to study in the summer before as well then it is achievable. Unless you struggle with basic writing & maths, then GCSEs aren't hard if you study hard and have good advice.

Actually more like 97% can't manage it since the grade 9 is top 3% or something.

Ah sorry. Grade 9 = top 20% of grade 7 so if top 3% are 9 then top = grade 7 should be top 15% as you said.

if your smart its not hard at all... assumming your school has sets for subjects like maths, the majority of the top class could go into the exam and get an easy 7
