I've heard that there are only 3 past papers for comp3, and I could only find 3 on the AQA website. Are there anymore is that all we have to work with?

Nobody knows. We only know when the results/ grade boundaries come out.

Well, you currently have 144 UMS which is a low B (I think) the UMS needed for an A is 320 UMS, so you'd need to at least get 176 from comp 3 and 4, which would probably be a high-ish A in both.. That is if I'm correct with my maths..

Thanks for the video, its well explained by that guy. Even though I already knew OOP, I think the video you posted is gold. I couldn't find one criticism.

Yep, they're all good - if anyone else wants to do the calculations, the maximum UMS for each unit is:

•

COMP1 120

•

COMP2 80

•

COMP3 120

•

COMP4 80

And the UMS grade conversions (for A2) are:

•

MAX 400

•

A 320

•

B 280

•

C 240

•

D 200

•

E 160

And for an A* you need at least 180 UMS (90% of the UMS) between COMP3 and COMP4.

Cheers, you too. It seems AQA are pretty skilled when it comes to ****ing students over. The economics exam are pretty naff as well compared to other exam boards. Hopefully the cram will work for me as it does others!

Hail the cram!

Yeah are you sitting ECON4 tomorrow? It's one of the rewritten papers so it could be really nice or it could be really awful. f*** AQA. The cram will start friday and will continue until monday, and then it's all over!
