Official AS & A2 Results Day 2016

LOOOOOOL this made me laugh because you're not even exaggerating

Would you mind elaborating why?

2 actually haha just wanted opinions cause I'm nervous

Born too late to explore the earth. Born too early to explore the universe. Born just in time to get screwed over by Ofqual...

Formally: Cambridge have a few studies that show that AS and A-Level performance have very bad correlation for the mathematics degree there, even GCSE performance has a better correlation. STEP performance however, has the highest correlation for any subject ever. Something like ~50%.

Common sense: would you rather distinguish candidates based on a test that consists of sitting down, writing some crap that demonstrates no understanding whatsoever of mathematics and get an easy A* that literally half the candidature get and literally 99% of the maths applicants will be getting A*A*A - A*A*A* effortlessly or a test with which only 160 of your offer holders can get a decent grade and filters the candidature to an reasonably modest level by not only being an extremely difficult test aimed at the top 2% of the a-level mathematicians, that requires actual thought, creativity and mathematical ingenuity but also by allowing admissions tutors to view the actual scripts of the candidates to see their thought process.

tl;dr an idiot could get an A*A* in maths and further maths, STEP requires actual talent. Cambridge wants actual talent, not idiots.

The grade boundaries for AQA are accessible to everyone at 8am, however teachers with access to e-aqa get the grade boundaries at midnight. Will someone with access to e-aqa post them here shortly after midnight?

looks like we're all idiots lads even if we get straight A*s, might as well give up hope now

is it just me or does this sound slightly arrogant

Do all AS grade boundaries get released tonight????

cheers mate, probably had an arrogant tone to it 'cause I'm in a bad mood and it's late at night for me. Still all true though.
