probably
69 for an A
64/65 for a B
60+ for a C
55 D
50 E
anything below 50 =U

Definitely won't be 69/75 for 80UMS what planet are you living on...

IMO an A (80UMS) will be around 62/75
On question 3 i got a3 wrong as simplified wrong, i got k+(k/2)... anybody know how much i would get in that whole question if i used the incorrect a3 for the sum of in part b

so who here's resitting c1 next year?:smile:


Can you resist? There's a whole new specification and everything. IDK how it works.

Yeah you can, it will most likely be a re-sit only paper but otherwise just normal

These are quite high. 50 for an E won't happen, in my opinion. Low 40s, at most, I'd say.

you're saying its 67% for a E and 80% for a C? I did badly last year on core 1 and couldn't possibly have got over 60 but still got 75 UMS for a mid level B so I don't think your boundaries are accurate

I gkt that and jept checking it cus it seemed a bit weird

Yep, I also got c as -88. :h:
Kinda annoyed because I could do every question but I went wrong with my calculation, last year I got a C but I'm hoping that this year I'll some how get 80ums :frown:I was hoping for like 90ums but I guess there's nothing like good old exam pressure. Now I'm hoping that c2 is just full of trig so I can make up For c1.

My advice to everyone just forget about it for now you can't change what you wrote, start revising for your other exams :h:

i think thats what everyone is saying no one is saying it was conceptually hard so everyone got the concepts and what to do, its just the exam would induce a lot of mistakes, After thinking clearly I think I got an A grade I think. I might have a B grade though absolute worst case a C grade if this paper comes back below a C I think at that point I give up.
I think Min I have 60 marks probably 62-65 so its going to be close either way.
Any legit grade boundary guesses? Can we please not have people saying 75/75 is an A and 69/75 is an A.

Drop all the grades down by 1 and that seems more accurate, still a bit high.

Yeah I'm guessing I got around 60+ depending on how the marks were allocated. It just sucks because you are so close to the answer and yet so far away. Im hoping you get what you want :h:

Look at last years grade boundaries and adjust according to them id say
This is the raw marks you need for each grade from previous years.
