Usually, it's about 75-78%, around about that. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
For what?
When I did it I think it was about 85%-90 overall for A*A*? bleh look on the exam board website.
gcse grade boundaries fluctuate loads. once the UMS marks are published (these are the final marks scaled to the rest of the countrys exam performance - more of an issue in modular subjects such as maths or science, but always used in post 16 exams as they are always modular) the boundaries are set.
http://www.aqa.org.uk/over/stat_pdf/aqa-gcse-bound-jun04.pdf gives an outline of what sort of percentile you need to get the certain grades - these are last years final boundaries. but then if everybody does shockingly in, for example, french, and only 30 people in the country get 80% or above, the cant rightly stick to the 90% = A*, 80% = A, 70% = B.... system.
The only way to be sure of sticking to your predictions is to revise a lot. Dont eat because it takes up valuable revision hours. Cut back on sleep to 4 hours a night. And don't talk to people. In fact if you're reading this now you shouldn't be..............
