English Language and Maths GCSE 2018 predicted grade boundaries??

Hey can someone tell me roughly how many marks they think would be a grade 4/5 i know you don’t actually know until all papers are marked but I was wondering if someone could just say what they predict??? I’m doing AQA for English and EDEXCEL for maths

95% will be a 9!!!

95% will be a 9!!!

maths will be LOWWW trust me, last year i didnt finish half the paper in one of my exams and i got a 7 overall. english language will be quite high, english lit will be kinda low aswell

What was your exam board for english and maths. boundaries were similar for maths but for aqa it was 125 marks for a 7, so probably 120 for edexcel if you're doing edexcel, so getting over 40 marks in each paper would have been a 7.

edexcel for all
but remember, i was the first year to do a 9-1 so the grade boundaries are low to make it look better than the old spec

Yeah, there's more than one been sat for it now because of november 2017 retake papers.
I have edexcel for english, but just checked now that my school have been using higher grade boundaries without saying.

honestly ur school is doing that for a reason, they are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst

maths will be LOWWW trust me, last year i didnt finish half the paper in one of my exams and i got a 7 overall. english language will be quite high, english lit will be kinda low aswell

IM so scared for English language I’m like failing anyway but if the grade boundaries are gonna be even higher I may as well give up

Don't worry you won't. With language there isn't much to revise or at least revise in terms of memory, except a list of techniques, you just need to practice for revision.

Thanks do you thinking doing past papers will help? X

Depends on if you literally mean past papers, practice papers for the new spec definitely, the only past papers there are is june 2017 papers and november 2017.
There isn't a lot more you can do to be honest, other than practicing by doing questions and practice papers, so it wouldn't actually be too late to not have started now and to leave it later, especially since I think it's later for most exam boards(is for me).
Good luck!

Yeah it’s in June thank god!! I’ve started to do practice questions and I think the more I do it the more i’ll grasp to it because before for example q2 I never really analysed enough x

Yes that's more like it, don't give up!

Yeah literally if you asked me last week I was fully given up!!! Because of the thought of the grade boundaries going up I was like I have no chance, but then I thought if I fail I’m gonna have to do something I REALLY don’t want to do which is go college! I Need to pass so I’m doing lots of past questions starting from today and tomorrow as for q5 I’ve thought of 3 or 4 good voculbary it’s just the matter of fact thinking of a actual good interesting story x
