Apparently, the head of the exam board is going to only lower the boundaries so that students who would have gotten a D, would instead get a C. However, the rest is supposed to stay the same- which I feel very indignant towards. That " Hannah And Her Sweets" question....

I somehow think that's unfair; I think (well, I am hoping) that I got a C, so, they should give me a B - only if life worked that way, ey?

I know! I think they're being way too strict and inconsiderate. I've been getting the same grade in mocks for 2 years and I was hoping I would get a grade higher- but I doubt that now.
I hope you get the grade you want- when is your results day?
Easiest - Edexcel RE Unit 3 Paper or AQA Chemistry 1 (both were higher). Reckon I've got full marks in both

Hardest - Either one of my Edexcel Maths papers

It seems like EDEXCEL maths is a recurring theme for toughness.

I can't say anything, sadly - because I don't do business and I wasn't with 21st Century for Science - I was with GATEWAY.

It's the paper I'm most scared for I did so BAD I'm so scared tbh and I need a B in it to do science A-level, I guess it's kind of comforting knowing I'm not the only one who found it hard.
