Edexcel GCSE maths linear March 2012

Really? My school told me it was lowered. Apparently you need 158/200 to get A*, 124 to get A and 90 something to get B. Seems pretty easy to me- 42 mistaskes to get A* is very generous compared to other exam boards.

Ahhh, it was so horrible. I completely panicked and failed massively. i wanted to do maths and further maths next year but won't be able to if I get an A (not that an A is bad it's just my school have high expectations when it comes to maths). The new problem solving aspect and communication stuff completely threw me. Hopefully the grade boundary for A* will be around 80 so I'll just need to perform well in the calculator tomorrow. :s-smilie:

No more panic attacks for me.

Good luck everyone :biggrin:

this march linear was shocking grade boundaries for foundation and higher, many feared this would come and it did! lets HOPE this will be VERY LOW grade boundaries for the June 2012 Linear which we took :smile:

good luck to ALL!

Hi everyone i know this is not really for this thread but i want to ask there are only 2 exams for linear exam right?

This is because before i was doing modules and at the end got a C, this was like a year ago, but the degree i want to go to requires a minimum of a B. So anyone?
