We don't know, but going by previous releases:
Likely midnight for OCR, early morning for AQA. Word was Edexcel release at midnight as well, but according to their twitter feed they release at 00:01 on Thursday

Nonsense, for OCR English Literature you need 87-90% raw marks for an A. These are some of the harshest A-Level boundaries in existence as far as I know.

jesus christ! for AQA Eng Lit it's usually like 40ish/84 for an A

I know, I have no idea why the OCR ones are so exceptionally high. It's not even like the board is easier than the others.

It's mad how low the boundary for an A is! If I don't get an A with that, I think I'll consider jumping off a multi-storey car park! :frown:

Let's hope they don't raise it though! :eek:

And oh yeah, everyone. Results will be released the day before the results come out (Thursday) - which is confirmed on the Edexcel official website. In January, AQA had theirs up at midnight, and Edexcel's were up by 4AM. So I wouldn't stay up for midnight! Good luck, I hope you all get what you want!

Guys last year edexcel released their GB extremely early... check this out and bear in mind that results day was 16th and they put boundaries up @

ah ok , well hoping that's a mistake then since they have released them the day before at pretty much every exam session lol

ah well , even if Edexcel's don't come out tomorrow ( which will be very weird ) then OCR's and AQA's will be out , so i can check 3/4 subjects ! :smile:
