Aw haha thanks, btw if I attached a link to the higher paper 2, and told you the question I'm talking about, would you be able to help me with how many marks I would get?:smile:

Possibly. But when it comes to maths, I am appalling :biggrin:

Aw I'm sure your not! Have you done a maths GCSE before or is this your first time?

And this is the paper link: http://www.school-portal.co.uk/GroupDownloadFile.asp?GroupId=1216474&ResourceId=4990617

for question 8, I put a decimal rather then as a fraction, would this be ok?

no one does foundation



No you are wrong. There are currently over 1 million user so there are bound to be some people taking foundation in certain subjects. Doing a foundation tier paper does not imply you are stupid.

I'm pretty sure that I put a decimal when I answered this. I never really use fractions unless I'm instructed to do so and I usually get the marks. I also do higher.

I'm not even hyped for them but, what time do they release them?

It will probably be tomorrow. Edexcel a level boundaries were released at 12am on the day before results day so I'm thinking it will be the same :yep:

What does anyone think the boundaries will be for edexcel maths foundation? Please someone reply!!!
Not that long to wait now.. :smile:
Apparently the Edexcel grade boundaries have been released but I'm not sure if they're real or not.

You are worth a lot more than the grades you got(early entry) or going to get on a piece of paper so please dont let those grades decide your fate. Also there are other options for example Btecs so its not completely the end of the world if you dont get the grades. You did the best that you could and if you have not i guess you have learnt your lesson that its though out there so be prepared...Remember life does not go in a straight line so dont stress of over exam results...as it is not all about going to Cambridge or oxford-you dont have to go there to make something good out of your life so do what suits you.

Always Remember "Winners are to busy to be sad, to positive to be doubtful, to optimistic to be fearful, and too determined to be defeated."

Edit: It is not all about a piece of paper with your name on it:smile:
