OCR Classics prediction 2016

If Agamemnon comes up as a source question tomorrow I'm fully going to hold my breath in that exam and hope to DIE!!! Let's pray to Zeus that Antigone comes up or Medea as a source question because I honestly have absolutely so clue about Agamemnon :///////

How did everyone find it? I adored the Ag question because we'd practiced it loads! The Medea question was lovely, I think the grade boundaries are going to be really high this year because everyone's been loving the papers...

Hi! I think it was quite nice. I did Medea for the extract questions and Electra for the source. Did anyone else do Electa? I haven't found anyone so far!!

How did everyone find the exam??? I feel like that first 45 marker was kind of an awesome question!


(Btw - is anyone else doing Roman Society/Thought as their other unit? I haven't been able to find anybody and I'm looking for someone to compare notes with!)

I'm doing Rome for GCSE

I did exactly what you did! They were the best two things that could have come up for me 😂

Depends on whether those are the raw marks or the UMS marks. If they are the raw marks, then it'll depend on which modules they are for and then you'll be able to convert them to UMS.

If they are UMS marks, then 64 + 74 = 138 then divide by 2 = 69 which would be a C overall.

Damn :/ is that far away from a B and yes it's raw marks

If it's raw marks, then they need converting first of all to UMS marks. Which modules did you do?

I did tragedy and homer

So depending on which module got the higher mark, the UMS conversion works out like this:Tragedy Raw 64 = UMS 69 / Raw 74 = UMS 80Odyssey Raw 64 = UMS 64 / Raw 74 = UMS 76

UMS 69 + 76 = 145 / 2 = 72.5 (grade B)
UMS 64 + 80 = 144 / 2 = 72 (grade B)

So I would say it looks to me like you got a B.
