Why the heck have AQA raised the physics grade boundaries by 3 ums on last year. The paper was hard and isnt 3 makrs extreme?!

I can't seem to get on it, can you please tell me what raw mark is needed for 100 for Aqa C2? And what ums 71 gives?


71 UMS = 47 raw marks
99 UMS is 67 marks, 101 UMS is 68 marks

Well the go for S1 looked good, but I didn't do mechanics or stats this exam season.
The AS mark is the C1 C2 and S1/M1 mark combined. But you should get individual unit grades as well.
im guessing it does have a big influence if its 1/3 of the AS


okay thanks. I took S1 this june, which might just be my saving grace of getting a decent grade in maths.
Good luck with results :smile:

You need 240 ums overall for an A

Stats is my worst and so hopefully if I get a good c2 mark itll push it up

got 87 for C1, hoping for 90+ for c2 and 60+ for S1


i doubt i'm getting an A in maths. I'd be satisfied with a B and C2 was my worst., that exam paper in june, esp. the last few questions were so hard! I'm hoping s1 will push up my overall marks..

i know how you're feeling. this year's french paper was the hardest ever and in response to that AQA have made the grade boundaries higher than they've ever been!

**** you AQA
Am I the only one seeing the OCR english lit grade boundaries for A2, 93% for an a?!
Is it just me or is it that all the grade boundaries (so far) that you have checked for your subjects are really high and ****?

Bring it on edexcel, put me out of my misery already. :frown:
