Just a thought?
B+ and B- penetration etc.
Would the B+ annihilate before getting near to or through the magnet? Sites say they only travel 2mm before annihilation.

Grade boundaries for A*
2017: 207, 2018: 219, 2019: 230

Grade boundaries for A
2017: 178, 2018: 188, 2019: 204

This year's paper difficulty level was perhaps at the 2018 level.

Considering that the grade boundaries would be lenient this year (circa 13% (1 in 8) will get A* and 34% (1 in 3) an A), grade boundaries are likely to be: A*: 205, A: 180

Anyone else deathly worried about grade boundaries? Anyone want to predict them and we can see who gets close lol

Predictions will be more random than a normal year. What nobody knows is how much people across the country were affected by Covid - students being off school, teachers being off school, remote teaching, then there is also the impact of people having no public exam experience, which I would expect to affect lower grade boundaries more - less motivated students will have underestimated the task of revision. The boundaries could go down a lot but are extremely likely to go down a bit, particularly for lower grades.

2019: A* 85%, A 76%, B 64%

My top estimates (actually think they will be a bit lower)
2022: A* 81%, A 71%, B 57%

predicting them will make it worse 💀 let’s just chill in the meantime

Looks like we've got the below range of estimates for grade boundaries:

A* - 76% - 81% (205-219 marks)
A - 67% -71% (180-191 marks)

Of course, no one knows the range at the moment other than the exam board staff who are involved in this year's process. So, it will be amusing to come back and see how far out we are.

You were bang on!
For OCR A Level Physics A
A* 211 marks
A 181 marks

I guessed 212 so I was a little bit off but pretty damn close. I think boundaries should’ve been a little higher this year but I guess it benefits those who scored lower.

well it is dependent on the performance of pupils in the exam so people to a degree must have found these exams pretty difficult.

How did you do? I saw you on this thread before panicking about scores - I bet you did better than expected!
