Hi guys! Do you think this year they will give us a nice paper or will they make it hard? Considering it’s only the retakes doing as the year below are doing the new A-Level :frown:

Exam boards are aware of the low entry numbers so will make sure grade boundaries aren't affected by this and the higher calibre of students. You don't need to worry.

I'm a year 12 and apparently have been entered for C1, C2 and S1 anyone know if there is any point in me showing up to this exam tomorrow? (Haven't been told anything about only year 13's taking it)

Been resolved.
