Meee! I am praying for low grade boundaries, i know i did so bad. I did an exam on Conservatism, Socialism, Anarchism and Liberalism and on Nationalism, Feminism, Ecologism and Multiculturalism. How about you?


For 3B 15 markers I did: how and why have socialists supported collectivism; conservatives social hierarchy; marxists and anarchists + the state
45 marker: anarchism
4B 15 markers: feminism criticisms; liberal criticism of multiculturalism; deep ecologists + sustainability
45 marker: nationalism

I think we did the same questions apart from that one 45 marker... :eek2: I thought the 45 mark questions went excellently, you? :colondollar:
Tbh, I struggled a bit with the 15 markers - especially the socialism and anarchism ones in 3B and the feminism and ecologism ones in 4B. :s-smilie: I checked the mark schemes and managed to fit in a fair amount of information, but it was a bit of a mess and not well written. :redface:

personally for maths I would predict
C1-61 A
C2-64 A
S1-60 A


I don't think S1 will be that high, considering last years was not a bad exam and it wwas 59

Took part in a program which gives me a 2 grade reduction in a lot of top flight unis.

Thanks :h: it's definitely worth doing if your school does it (most don't) and you qualify for it.

Down the road at MMU - sad I missed out on the MAP bursary but MMU were the only uni to offer the joint honours course I do and this way I qualify as a speech therapist and get an accredited psychology degree too (just in case I want to change direction later on and do further postgrad studies). At least my debts after 4 years at uni will only be about £10K - thank you NHS. Good luck for Thursday but sure all will be fine

Yeah, it's always good to keep your options open!

And thanks, I really hope everything goes well :smile:

Well, you're halfway there with the crazy bit :colondollar: (just kidding, of course, though fair enough, you're no doubt under an increasing amount of stress the closer it gets)

Being told "I don't know why you're worrying, you'll get the grades" by relatives is so frustrating :laugh::laugh:

You don't need to do anything. If your firm and insurance reject you then your clearing details will show on track.


Ah okay, makes sense. Thanks!

For A2 Students, anyone else choose a firm and insurance with near identical grades and regretting it now lmaooo

YES.
Firm- A*AA
Insurance- AAA
Wish I'd chosen an AAB/ABB insurance now tbh as I'm probably going to end up in Clearing.
Anyone doing OCR B Salters what do you think the F334 boundaries will be. I think they will be

A* - 70/90
A - 64/90
B - 58/90
C - 53/90
D - 47/90
E - 42/90

What do others think

Same!! If I confide in them that I'm stressed, they say "oooh you'll be fine" but then again, this year, I did subjects that I was actually interested in and that I knew I'd excel in, so maybe they might be right?? Guess we'll find out on Thursday if I can do Year 13 :redface:

For 3B, I did socialism, anarchism and liberalism 15 markers and the anarchism 45.
For 4B, I did nationalism, multiculturalism, and feminism 15s and then the feminism 45.
I think they went ok, but I'm still hoping for low grade boundaries just in case I've messed up!

No not yet. They won't be available to people who have special access to them until the 17th. There's a person here who does but he didn't guarantee he could retrieve them and get them uploaded on here in time. :smile:
