I believe it varies slightly every year so 82-86 is fairly accurate, it all depends how other people do on the test. If everyone does really well it could be 86; if everyone does really badly in could be 82. In your case doing past paper I would assume 85 is an A* and go from there :biggrin:

The new syllabus on edexcel means the grade boundaries are a bit higher, so I think 77% would be an A.

mmm....it depends what year. 67% or something was A* in 2003. Just take 85% as A*, 75% A

Well I just checked the 2008 examiners report, and for foundation (Paper 1F & 2F), your score of 77% fits into a C category for both, so well done (Y)

I'm sure Edexcel works by 90%, 80%, 70% etc. so I think that'd be a B?

No, providing it is Higher its a strong A.

I take 77% to be an A with EdExcel.

My teacher must be quite stupid then; a girl in my year got 90% and said that she'd only just got an A*, whereas there's me getting 83% looking ever-so-slightly embarrassed because I was told I'd only scraped an A. :rolleyes:

Your teacher's either a moron, trying to scare you to revise or your exam board is completely different to mine.

I did the exam a year early you see, so we've already got the grades. He told us this in September last year when we got the results on the first day back in school and we weren't impressed. So yeah, you're right - he's a moron. :yes:
