So far as I'm aware, grade boundaries for most exams remain pretty static. It isn't overly normal practice for any board (except maybe OCR) to normalise and use standard deviations to determine grade boundaries.
Has anyone else noticed that AQA have whacked up the Physics ISA grade boundaries this year for the first time in ages, cheeky bastards! And the Unit 1 grade boundaries are stupidly high
What does the (R) mean, I think it means retake, but that isn't possible, for example Physics Unit 2 Edexcel was done once in 2013 but there are 2 boundaries, 6PH02 Physics At Work (Paper 01)6PH02 Physics At Work (Paper 01R).
What is the difference between paper 01 and paper 01R? Does the R signify replacement? I ask regarding the edexcel maths papers (especially C3!). If it did signify replacement then the replacement for C3 has ended up having higher boundaries than the original which doesn't seem right because those that saw both were unanimous in thinking that the original was easier. The difference between the two in raw marks for each grade is about 10 marks?! Anyone know anything more on this?

Tbh we all expected the ISA to be an absolute joke. No surprise they increased it.
