The OCR grade boundaries have been out for 2 hours


Should have made that clearer, I've seen the OCR boundaries and was using them as an example of why AQA should have already released theirs
Well they havent actually posted a solution just the ideas and guesses of curves and no actual proof. Its not an answer, they just showed trivial (a,b) pairs and linked them to the correct assumption.
Vieta jumping is an olympiad trick and the actual proof doesnt involve looking at a graph and guessing its this or this wormhole.

The Edexcel grade boundaries are clearly real, I'm not sure why people are doubting it


They have to be real. The layout is strange though there is an inconsistent gap between the top of each page and the start of the table, also this is what the last part of the website says : 1606-AS-and-level-Grade-Boundaries-Final.pdf
it says "AS-and-level"

I noticed this, I think they are real too. It's just strange considering its supposed to be an official document how 'scrappy' it is. It isnt a troll as that would be completely pointless, the boundaries look realistic to me, only one that was a bit surprising was M2, 68-A* but S1 was low as I predicted and FP1 was terribly low.

Can i ask for some advice?
really do not want to go to my insurance offer so am likely ringing them in the morning 9:30 to withdraw my offer or whatever. I will likely be going through clearing so can anyone recommend a good university ABB or BBB that has a good history course with preferably guaranteed accommodation, i know its a lot to ask

These grade boundaries are fake: http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/A-level/1606-AS-and-level-Grade-Boundaries-Final.pdf

Look at how pixelated the logo is for one, and two they don't use the Pearson logo on the top they use the Edexcel one (unless they randomly decided to change it and reduce the quality, which I highly doubt is the case). Also note that the Pearson logo thing is on the bottom of the page, the fake grade boundaries omit that.

Compare it to the layout of previous years' grade boundaries:
http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/A-level/1506-A-level-Grade-Boundaries.pdf
http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/A-level/1406_GCE_A_level_Grade_Boundaries.pdf
http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/A-level/GCE-Composite-1306-v4.pdf

Also, the 2016 grade boundaries aren't actually on the website yet: http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/demo/en/support/support-topics/results-certification/grade-boundaries.html/?Qualification-Family=AS-and-A-level

Literally, someone made these for a laugh.


You just made a fool out of yourself.

I literally can see the grade boundaries on their website, hosted by Edexcel.com + Their converter which also updated on their website, corresponds with every grade/mark on the PDF for Grade boundaries.

I heard you can check UCAS tomorrow at 12pm to see if your Uni accepted you.. Is this true?

Use the UCAS course finder and select Clearing 2016 to look at what is actually available in clearing
