How does one revise for the harder questions towards the end of a maths exam? One of the things I struggle with is knowing when they’re asking me to use this or that method, because it’s nearly always implied. I’m not sure how I can get from a 7 to an 8

It was 41 marks to get a level 4. Not on each paper - in total. 41/240. That's for edexcel higher level.

41-72 marks. I had to generalise it to both Edexcel and AQA as you didn't clarify what exam board you are with. It's usually 46 marks for a 4 and 72 marks for a 5 this is for AQA as I searched up this years grade boundaries 9-1. For Edexcel it's 41 marks for a 4 and 68 for a 5 if you're with Edexcel.

4 is a weak pass and 5 is a good pass. Each paper is out of 80 and joining all 3 papers you need to score a minimum of the marks mentioned above.

is this for higher or is this for foundation

Hi My son got a 4 in maths (foundation) but school have asked to re-mark it as he was close to a 5. It says on his results that his mark eqv was 164 but no further info - any idea what this means and if he was close to a 5 how close? Any help appreciated.

Which board? Edexcel it was 169 out of 240 for a 5. OCR was 187 out of 300. AQA was 161 out of 240.

So presumably Edexcel.

Hi, just checked again and it was edexl not AQA so I suppose he was 5 marks off a grade 5 which is strange because his other exams were AQA!

thanks

Hi everyone. Sorry to jump on but my son is in year 9 and has just had maths assessments. He's been moved to a lower class in maths after them as he did the 2 calculator papers, scored 28 in one and 31 in other. He was always good at maths so we're gonna work harder now. Can anyone tell me what these scores mean? So confused with new gcses!

I don't know how they do it now but when I did my GCSEs they set grade boundaries based upon what marks people got. One year an A could be 80% and the next year it could be 70%.
