Grade boundaries for Edexcel, AQA + OCR are roughly as I expected for my exams. Really nervous about tomorrow. :biggrin:
Sooooo happy with aqa boundaries!!
yeah the sciences seem good! (for AQA). Especially pleased about 42/50 ISA boundary (for A*)!!!

i got so lucky two of my ISAs were 46 and one 49, 46 is the 100 UMS boundary

Thanks for posting the link. :smile:


You're welcome.
I'm happy with AQA (and hopefully still will be when I get my results.) The science boundaries, especially the unit 3 ones, make me feel better cause those exams were quite hard. Also has the boundary for English Language decreased? If so, I never expected that! Although literature has increased (but I expected that.)

I want to know WJEC but they will be a long while off :tongue:
39 IS 100 in b3 wtfff, i thought i got like 50+!!

Very happy with AQA grade boundaries, still very worried about that french listening though
AQA GRADE BOUNDARIES FOR SCIENCW ARE LOOKING GOOODD. I can't believe P2 is 41/60. Last year it was 51/60! There were mixed views thought because people some found it super easy and others difficult. I found physics quite hard:/
Where are the overall grade boundaries? :smile:

Are the CIE boundaries out today?

I found that P2 exam not too bad from memory, but a lot of people said it was hard and that P3 was easier. I just hope that the boundaries aren't low because of harsh marking - they did predict a drop in science top grades achieved.
Here is the EDEXCEL UMS CONVERTER, you can convert RAW MARKS to UMS MARKS:

Here's the AQA UMS converter, so you can see what RAW mark converts to a UMS Mark:

So my course is the one that requires the highest mark for each grade in History, cheers OCR :angry:
I'm pretty happy with the French boundaries, just hope I haven't totally messed up :crossedf:

The boundaries are pretty low but I see your point. They probably will be marking harsher on it. I didn't do triple. Wish I had done though, so I don't know about P3,C3,B3. Are you going to be doing any of the sciences for AS level?

Only Level 3 qualifications are showing on mine for OCR. Could someone tell me Gateway Science boundaries for Physics, Chemistry and Biology. A* grade only.

I think there's typing errors in biology...

But:
Biology: 46 ish
Chemistry: 52 ish
Physics: 54 ish

I say ish, give or take 1/2.

Ah some of the grade boundaries look so good!! AQA science is great, and english language is surprisingly lower than last year :biggrin: the ISA grade boundaries are higher than our teachers predicted but that's okay because of the lower Unit 3 grade boundaries
