hmmmm. to be on the safest side. i would say 110/200 on both papers? btw how was todays calc paper.
I'm pretty sure A grade will be around the 125-135, probably closer to 135. Last year was 135 I think

This is good to look at:smile: http://www.mathsgenie.co.uk/papers/gradebound.pdf

Usually over 50 marks is a B depending on how people found the paper as a whole but it could be over 60 in some cases

Grade boundaries are the scaled marks required to achieve grades. They are set by an awarding committee after the exams have been sat, to ensure that the quality of work required for a particular grade is consistent year to year. Although grade boundaries may change year on year to account for differences in the difficulty of the paper, the assessment criteria remain the same. :smile:

You probably need 130-135/200 for an A

Nah not in a million years would it be 120 for a B
90-100 for a B (it shouldn't go above 100)
120-135 for an A (Only gone above this twice)
