I know how you feel, they seem really high :frown:
For my Physics exam 64 marks is B but for Chemistry 64 marks is a C, it seems unfair but I'm guessing there were lots of people who did well in Chemistry, that or AQA just hates students lol


Any update for the ocr grade boundaries? Physics?

I hate Chem 4's grade boundaries. :frown: They used to be lower before 2012. Dunno what changed. :/


CHEM5 is surprisingly high! What do you think?

I only need 3 As :colondollar: for Imperial, but the Maths boundaries have me worried slightly.. Another DE candidate! Only 2 people in my school did DE haha we are quite rare. M2 was horrendous! Probably one of the worst exams I have ever sat >.< but hopefully I have done better than I felt *Sigh*. I am sure you will be okay, MEI always juggles around the modules in a satisfactory manner. :smile:


I'm sure you'll do great :smile:. Haha I know, only 3 at mine! It's a pretty good module though, I just hated the coursework.. mainly because our teacher did nothing to help us! M2 was definitely the hardest of all the past papers, but I tend to find mechanics slightly easier - maybe that's a bad sign! :colondollar: Yeah I hope so!

Oh ok, fair enough. But that's for UMS isn't it? Do you know where I can see the raw marks?

So pleased with M2 and FP3 grade boundaries! I thought FP3 would be far higher as it was quite an easy paper. D1 is higher than I had expected though... (OCR)

On the bright side, AQA BIOL5 grades are surprisingly nice :biggrin:

Thanks :smile:. I quite like the coursework components - C3 coursework was extremely fun IMO - but DE is self taught at my school so that kind of sucked. Mechanics + Me = disaster. That centre of mass question.. :lol: is all I have to say (is it just me or did it look like a paper aeroplane XD?!). Even the moments question had me sitting there for 10 minutes like... Whaaaa?! I felt as though I had learned nothing for the past 5 months :confused: so I just wrote down some bull**** 'calculations' about clockwise and anti-clockwise moments. :colondollar:

Oh yeah, C3 coursework was fine! No help at all?! That's pretty ridiculous! :frown:

Fortunately for my sanity I've forgotten most of the exams, but actually - yes, the CoM question is the one I'm worried about too! D: You'll have picked up a fair few marks though, and the first question(s?) weren't as bad as the others, so don't give up hope!

Does anyone here know when edexcel might update their mark converter? I am anxiously waiting for it.
