What do you think the grade boundaries will be?

Grade boundaries?

If WJEC are feeling nice, I reckon 33 A*, 30 A 26 B and ... 22C for listening

Not sure, think it might even be higher for reading, considering that most people I've spoken to on here found it easier than the listening... But who knows!?

Can't change anything now

I think I've probably got around 36 or 37 for the reading if we go by that mark scheme above. I made some stupid mistakes, like I put "games" instead of "toys." How annoying though that someone had even told me to remember that word earlier in the day!! But hopefully that's an A* anyway, I'm not sure how high the boundaries will be. It was definitely an easier reading paper than last year, but I don't know how it compares to the year before that. What do you lot predict the reading boundaries will be?

For Listening I think I might have got 33, as again I think I made some stupid mistakes. I wouldn't probably make them, but in a real exam everything just feels a bit more stressful. It was the last question which I found hardest for that and I dropped a few marks. Then on the Wales question I missed a part out and "made up" an advantage. I put "lots to do" because I was writing another answer at the time of them saying it (and I would have got it if I'd listened properly.) I don't think "lots to do" would count though even though he mentioned a few things, because that was probably relating to the question after.

I'm really happy though if I get those marks, and I just really, really hope that my coursework doesn't go down. I don't know how harsh WJEC are for speaking, but apparently they're harsh with the writing so I'm scared that it might go down. Currently I've got full marks for the controlled assessments, but it just scares me if it goes down a lot...

Probably 2 B's so all good :smile:

I got 27/40 on listening and 33/40 in reading, roughly... Hopefully I get an A* due to my controlled assessments...

I think I got about 34 in listening and 38 in reading according to those schemes!

I put Marion Cotillard eats her hands instead of eating with her hands -.-

what did everyone put for the strange things that the actress did when she was younger?

For the reading, on the one where you choose the missing word, I put donne for the hoover one but on the mark scheme it says passe? Did anyone else put donne?
Reply 99
Also, would I get the mark saying she eats without utensils instead of saying she eats with her hands? :L
