Examiner Reports - Grade Boundires - etc.

Just another quick question.

Does anyone know, any particularily curious as level students (seeing as you have been through this) perhaps, when the examiner reports and grade boundries are published for each of the exams, as well as the overall summary of GCSE Reults from each board?

Also, can some one tell me, for OCR and AQA specificly, exactly what information they give on theie grade slips, as in, do they give breakdowns? Do they give boundires? etc.

Thanks very much,

Someone else on this board ( a teacher actually!) told me that teachers get the grade boundaries when they get the results.

No, and if all goes to plan, I wont get C's

Now wasnt it you who said me must try to stick to the point in posts?

Anyway, sir, thanks for your input. It wont be rewarded and is not greatly appriciated, sir.

@Bex. So basically, all the things which ive mentioned above, the teachers get, but not us?

You will not be rewarded by the Directors of The Student Room either, sir.

One thing that has me so annoyed about OCR is that they never publish their examiner's report with the grade boundaries on the internet, whereas with AQA and Edexcel they did! It was so annoying, especially during the revision process so i knew what mark i needed to get for which grade!

OCR do publish their examiners reports on the net, they're ust alot harder to find, and also annoying because they only do one report for all the exams with no contents, so you have to look through the 90 pages to find the subject you're looking for.
Here's 2003's report for you, just so you can see what I mean:

Well, at least EdExcel and AQA will release them. Im sure we can get the OCR ones from the teachers, if we pester them enough.
