I think the grade boundaries are lower for non-coursework.

Not sure how much lower though - I heard it was something like 52 marks on another thread exactly the same as this one.

Use the search box kay?

It won't hurt.

Hey, well I got 37.2, I think. And also, I'm sure I will get other marks for working, and they might accept my answer, still, it depends how I worked it, on the calculator, or whatever. I'm not too sure, though.

It's strange: When I was doing the CGP 'past papers', I thought that they were rediculously easy compared to the actual past papers for the last 5 years.

At the end of the exam, I realised that the actual paper was probably only slightly above that level (I'm judging by the fact that it wasn't enough to bore me to tears, although I didn't really have to think that much), which is sad.

That said, I always make lots of silly mistakes on easy papers-I don't engage my brain unless something catches its attention. If I get a hard Q at the end, though, I'm more awake when I go back through and check them all.

I think I'm just a maths (and foreign languages) person, though. Even if I get okay marks on Biology or Electronics I always find them really hard when everyone else says they're easy... (they're the two that stick out the most)
