I found question 3 the hardest to be honest, the rest were okay(ish) a part from choosing the phrases that was hard. Do you know how many marks you needed for a C grade?

Thats actually dependant on your coursework grade. If you know your marks I could work out the amount needed for a C

Does anyone know whether these grade boundaries remain the same or do the fluctuate like other exam boards
I am not happy but to make us all feel better although we did core don't forget that they may mark our papers more nicer than extended
