Until it's official, I would not say anything just yet.

Yeah definitely. C4 last year was 69 for an A. 69 will probably get 90ish this year.

I think all boards are making things tougher this year. For AQA C3, C4, M2 and FP2 have been the toughest papers ever. And the C4 last June was 65/75 for 100 UMS! Scary times, but I do like a challenge. :biggrin:

Same I hope, I feel like I must have neared 100% at least but you can never be too sure :wink:

Did a bit of STEP II this morning, didn't go great but I misread a quite easy question which made me go wrong massively, and I wasn't putting much effort in honestly.

Need to ease into it until I'm ready to plough through questions :tongue:

I'd agree with this, though I thought C4 was quite ordinary/easy. FP2 on AQA was an absolute killer :frown:

Personally I could handle everything, except for the evil 6 marker at the end (damn you vectors!). M2 is meant to be extremely standard every year. That was not the case this year. :frown:

Just hoping grade boundaries are nice to get me into the 90s. Aha yeah, my teachers were screwing when they saw FP2. Told us to watch out come June. :p:
