Those Edexcel Business Studies grade boundaries are hideous! How on earth is it 38/40 raw for an A on that first exam? Was the hardest thing!



You do mean A* right? That means an A* would have to be full marks...
The history marks look alright. Religious studies is just hideous
Nope that's the a level ones

I wish I did, an A* is 39/40 which is absolutely ridiculous! I found the paper difficult! I'm now relying on me having scored an A* on the last exam to get an A overall.
I have a bad feeling I will wake up in the morning, log into this thread and see everyone raging and panicking about the grade boundaries for AQA and OCR
Woops, sorry everone. OCR title deceived me

i did the unit 5 exam and the boundaries for that a a piece of s*** too. not as bad as unit 1 but still pretty terrible. im lucky i did my unit 1 exam last year, an A* was 38 and an A was 36, although i did get 37.
do you know the mark you got for your controlled assessment?

it's becoming ridiculously harder to reach an A* in French..normally it's only 30-31/40 for it? Lol that's my my only a* in my only subject I excel in gone.

grade boundaries went up although everyone in my school felt that the French listening was average but Reading was ridiclously hard. Theirs my grade gone.
Hopefully I can get an A* in English lang and literature... big hope.
