Gcse maths - 13 marks in all 3 papers for a C

It says 41 marks in total so they had to get around 13 marks for a 4!!!!! Am i getting this right cos it seems way too easy
No wonder why i didnt see anyone failing their gcses last year. Grade boundaries were extremely low. I hope theyre like that for the resit
LOL at exam boards.
I'm not complaining though

They’re literally saving lives. Bless them.
I hope the grade boundaries rise by 20 e.g 210/240 for a 9. This is what I'm preparing for

I would love for it to decrease but let's be practical about it. They will deffo not make it 41/240 for a C
and remember last year, so many people were entered for higher when they should've done foundation.
This won't happen too much this year.

Lmao no, the only reason the grade boundaries were low is because everyone flopped around the UK! The same percentage of people that failed in the year before is the same as the people who failed this year.

You’re doing A-levels as you mentioned on your blog so why should it matter.

Grade boundaries are how they are for a reason. The pass mark was so low because people found the papers difficult. Each year, roughly, the same amount of people pass so it isn't to say that it was easier to pass last year
