I wrote the same as you but then I also added bacteria have adapted to the extreme environment and they can also act as producers and make their own food (couldn't think of much to write lol)... :wink:


Yeah i also wrote at how theyre adapted to withstand the conditions!hopefully we get the marks for it :smile:

Surely not when each boundary is 8/9 marks why would it jump up 18:tongue:

You double the A* - A boundary (or A and B) and add to A*, but that might not work...

Isn't that because A-Levels only go up to A grade (80%), but ours have the A* (90%) so we don't have to double it?

I just checked for an AQA exam and 100 UMS was 39 then 90 was 36 then 80 was 33 but 70 was 27:confused:. I suppose it's just kind of random depending on peoples marks.

38 for an A in CA isn't bad. Mine were 36, 37 and 39 I think.

43 is a nice A* boundary.

Hopefully mine won't be moderated down :erm:
Do you think that thereason why grade boundaries are low is bcz of mark schemes/examiners are more harsher?:confused:
Do coursework grade boundaries come out?
