most people do better on ca than exams when it comes to languages, but it all depends on your ums


I have no idea about UMS :s-smilie: all I know is that I don't think I've dropped more than 5 marks on each exam if that's any indication :L
Anyone do edexcel sports/PE?? i thought it would be so easy but the exam was hard and i reckon it will be my worst grade :frown:

what subject are you talking about?

geography B?


I did! Found it okay, I was lucky that I was confident on all the case studies they asked for however not so confident on everything else. It's hard to gage how you've with WJEC considering so much of the marking is left to the examiners discretion :confused:

Unfortunately your grade depends on how everyone else has done and it's another day of wondering where you are on the spectrum. (I'm so optimistic.)

Can the exam boards not just accidentally leak our results to our inboxes? Now would be great. ^_^

You really don't want them to do that because if that did happen you would be questioning about whether those were the real grades or just some elaborate prank and you would be in mental agony until results day and I'm already in mental agony and I have heard of results pranks before.

i found it ok too, i felt like it wasn't really geography more like opinions don't you think? like most questions you couldn't have revised for and had to rely on your onthespot thinking skills. it's risky tbh but i hope i did ok

Not necessarily.Its important to look at the Grade Boundaries the day before because I have some good ideas on the marks I have got and I want to see the Maths Unit 3 Grade Boundaries to see how many UMS I have lost for that silly mistake with the square question and I need to see whether they have dropped the Grade Boundaries for the french Listening because I am pretty sure i have dropped all of the 8 marks of writing about embarrassing situations.


How could YOU, the cleverest person in this world mess up on the square question. The answer was 56cm, didn't you get that?
are all the exam boards equal difficulty?

Everyone did the core exam in year ten, we're one of the few schools who attempt it!

Glad we did, because I got full UMS which means I around 129/200 UMS already (if I dock one UMS from coursework) with the last exam being /70.

it took our school the whole of year 10 and half of year 11 to do the 2 controlled assessments, we had 3 or 4 months to learn the content and i didn't bother revising cus i felt like all hope was lost :s-smilie: i hope it all goes well though
