Posted from TSR Mobile

Hi. I'm a teacher. Hust had the percentages through. My success rates are up this year as are most of my colleagues. Chances are grade boundaries are down. We mainly use AQA..

best wishes everyone.

Might sound a stupid question but how do you know if the grade boundaries are low?? Also, if they are low, I take it that means people struggled with the exam??

Nicer paper than January's...first question asked you to simply calculate a couple of things..we didn't even have to comment on the answers! Beautiful. The rest f the paper wasn't too bad either. I hope I've done better this time haha.
What did you get first time in units 1&2?

will ucas send an email to inform the uni's decision tomorrow morning??

hey again!
I feel theyre too high, 79 would have been more appropriate. still hoping i got an A though. How do you feel?
good luck to you to!

Morning! Yes OCR and AQA have released theirs I'm not sure about Edexcel
I know only OCR concerns you so here is the link:

Oh my God...school just rang asking me to read my results on the radio...I said yes...HELP.

I think I can get an A, think I got about 85-87 marks...... Only time will tell. Good luck

A2 units I thought were steep in A*! The orals anyway

Which module did you take?, I took option 3C, Boom, Bust and Recovery.

I resat AQA AS German Unit 1 and I think it was a good paper so those boundaries were justified but I agree with you about the A2 units- 102/110 for an A* for Unit 3, that's the highest it's ever been, but it was a good paper so hopefully things should work out
