the last exsam have VERY low grade boundaries and todays paper was not the best,

many clever kids found it challenging for that reason we have to wait and see on august the 25

BUT i would say that it will most propably be about 60% to get an A so thats around 36 marks.

I'm guessing around a mid A to low A* for that paper because it was really hard :/

Here are the A* and A grade boundaries over the years, as you can see they've been getting higher and higher, though they dropped a bit last year.
I think this non-calculator paper has been pretty tough, more so than last years, and consequently I'd estimate about 166-169 for an A* this year, and 132-135 for an A but try your best whatever you're aiming for.

A* A

2004 June 122 90
2004 November 149 109
2005 June 158 117
2005 November 149 107
2006 June 154 116
2006 November 161 118
2007 June 165 135
2007 November 153 114
2008 June 169 140
2008 November 169 140
2009 June 173 141
2009 November 174 141
2010 June 176 141
2010 November 170 136
2011 June 168 134 [Estimate]

(obviously these are the total marks for both papers combined)

If this is for modular then it doesn't make sense..i have 171/200 so far and lets say i got 136 on both papers (an a last year) and added them, id fall short of 320 which is an A?
