would you mind seeing if my way of predicting ums works, the annoying thing about the OCR document is it is based on a boundary of 10ums rather than A which holds 20ums? it's just on the previous page

Don't overcomplicate things.
62 is 90 and 68 is 100

So 10 UMS is spread across 6 marks. i.e. each raw mark is worth 5/3 UMS marks. You have 90 (62 boundary) + 2*5/3 = 93.33 = 93

Thank you AQA for such nice chemistry ISA grade boundaries :grumble:

. I mean, it's only 72% for an E and 96% for an A*.

On a slightly better note, I guess i'm okay with the CHEM 5 grade boundaries.

AQA Physics A and OCR Geography are making me feel optimistic, the grade boundaries are alright to me!

but aqa physics has been raised by 3 marks this year. I am freaking out.

Yes, me! My friends can't read my writing most of the time, I hope the examiners are good at reading bad handwriting :redface:

Me too! But I do english and other essay subjects and I've managed to do well in them which is why I think it puts us at ease that they can read handwriting in exam conditions even if others can't!

Omg same! I didn't find the exam too hard and thought it was one of my better exams? Now I'm really worried why the grade boundaries are so low :confused:

I thought it was a hard exam. Not like realllly hard, I was more annoyed about the lack of unit 5 questions even though it was a unit 5 paper!

Anyone worried about the OCR chem f325? 75/100 for an A.
Higher than jan 2013 and I found that paper so much harder than jan!

Yes, agreed! But you may have done better than you think.

I'm slightly worried how low the BIOL5 boundaries are. Makes me think that I've probably bombed on that paper :facepalm:

I know, it's freaked me out, I thought the paper was alright! No one at my school came out upset, we were all quite positive

I had a dream a while back that I met my French Speaking examiner in the shopping centre and he told me I had done alright but not great. The thing is, I'm really worried that my oral didn't go all that well so I hope the dream isn't proved right.

Thats the last exam I need to check the grade boundaries for! How did you find the grade boundaries?

Fortunately I only did biology, maths and further maths this year! Biology requires quite a bit of writing though, and there is a long essay question at the end of the final A2 exam on AQA. I think examiners must have a lot of experience with all types of poor handwriting, so I just hope they won't have any trouble.

If there are any Bristol firmers here, try checking your accommodation status. If, when you attempt to login, it says "You are not eligible to apply for Undergraduate accommodation online", then I think you've missed the offer. It says this for me now but when I logged in a couple of days ago it allowed me to check my status.
