Edexcel Maths Changes

I was debating with my mates the other day and need a definitive answer, this is the first year Edexel arent offering an intermediate tier for maths: Would this make the Higher Tier a little bit easier?

it will mean there will a few easier questions on the paper, but the boundaries for the grades will rise due to this, making it harder to get an A*, for example. This means many A/A* candidates will have to watch out for the easier questions, and get all of them correct, if they want to stay on course for their grade.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing the other day too.
I asked my teacher what I need for an A and she said it says 80% but they might put it down to a 75% because it's the first year. I dont know.
Hoping it's 75!
