Anyone doing Edexcel GCSE ICT on 21st June?

Wow, you want to do the test without revising that sounds like a bit of a risk. :s-smilie:

I would not recommend it. I guess it would be possible to get a decent mark that way but it depends how much you remember. If I were you I would revise anyway. Why would you want to do it without revising? :confused:

Edit:btw, if this is right...

then 71% is an A so why the sad face?

71% is an A?

Seriously? :awesome:

I thought it was a B.

What about for an A*? What percentage is that?

Short course is meant to be easier though - hence the higher grade boundary.

That is the same fo full course which I am doing. :five:

Our exam yesterday was quite good actually for me atleast, lol. That is probably because I spent the whole of Sunday in solitary confinement making note cards and doing past papers and such. Hopefully I got an A. :crossedf:

How did yours go?

I got roughly a bit less than you on the coursework.

Hmm, I think I lost a maximum of 20 marks on the paper, and I still believe it's an A* - as the grade boundaries (if I interpreted them correctly) is pretty low, i.e. 55% for an A*? :lolwut:

We'll see...

yh it went good just a few questions like the multiple question ones was harder to choose an asnwer as all options semmed correct lool and like the formula IF question was quite hard ..oh and also the last question and yh its just very predictable ...hopefully i gain my A* with my courseowkr being nearly full marks and it counting 60%, do you think loosing around 15 or so mrks on the exam still drops my oppurtunity to gain an A* for this subject?

55%?????? noo wayyyyy :eek:

Around that figure.

E.g. in 2008, apparently you needed 82 marks - in total - for the A*.

There are 147 marks in total. So the percentage required would be, yeah 55/56%.

wow maybe thats jus UMS marks or something like that, making A* be around 85% lol..thats more reasonable..55% means everyone can achieve A* by just gaining full marks on cw and doing text paper for 2 seconds then falling asleep..aha if it really is 55 im actuayl going to be soo happy lol

No, it's not UMS as that document specifically says "minimum subject marks".

Anyways, yeah I do hope it's 55% - guaranteed A* for me then. :p:
