What grades are you hoping for?

Scroll to see replies

this wasn't aimed at me, but I did the OCR philo&ethics course and just saw the grade boundaries... they seem alright to me... 56 and 61 out of 70 for A*? not bad at all. having said that, I usually do worse in exams than I think I did....

well, the 49 out of 70 for an A on the philosophy suggests that the philosophy paper was harder :/ 55 out of 70 for the ethics suggests that ethics was easier :/ i hope all is in our favour!

so 56 in the philosophy paper is A*? and 61 in the ethics is A*?

as far as I remember... I was surprised that the A* philosophy boundary was so low but I didn't really like the paper... not sure about ethics, but pretty sure it was at least 60, yes.
good luck! :smile:

Philosophy and ethics - low A/high B
History - low B

I'm hoping my A-levels won't fall into some horrible tear in space-time and thus I get to keep them.

Unless that would mean I get extenuating circumstances bonus points.

Hoping for: A*A*A*A* in maths, FM, Bio and economics
Expecting A*A*A*A with the A being in economics
Need: A*A*AA (Cambridge won't accept achieved grades so A*AA standard offer applies on top of A* already achieved in maths)
Worst possible: A*AAA (already achieved A* in Maths and based on my UMS from other modules it would be nearly impossible to not get at least As in the other subjects).

I need that for UEA too, what course have you applied for? I'm hoping they let me in with ABD/AAD or similar as that's what i'm hoping for :/

Ive been told by multiple sources that UEA usually are good with people that miss their offers, so lets hope!

Psychology me :smile:

What about you?

I need ABB to get into my first choice, I already have BBBB from January resits, so now I'm just relying on my French B to turn into an A. I'm scared I won't get it :frown:

I need 3As...
I would love A*A*A - A*s in English Literature and Sociology and an A in History.
I think I will get an A* in English Literature (fingers crossed) ... I'm not sure about Sociology, I'm never sure though.

And History... I think I have an A, but I thought that last year and ended up with a B.... so, honestly, I really don't know.
