Agreed.

btw, do you know what this paper 01R and paper 01 is?


01 applies to us UK people, the 01R seems to be lower so not fair!!!! These grade boundaries have just depressed me!

The top one is the replaced paper (which nearly everyone sat).

I believe that the bottom one is the international paper (non UK students)

01R doesn't mean replacement paper. There is a separate, different paper taken by international students who are several hours ahead of the UK timezone to prevent them doing the exam then leaking the answers online before we in the UK have taken it.

As they are different papers, they get different grade boundaries. Just look at the ones with 01 (not 01R) if you took them in the UK. :smile:


Ahh I see, thank you very much both!

For AQA Physics A, what is the overall AS level out of?
I'm unsure if its 300 or 250 as the ISA is worth 20% with the exams 40% each.


its out of 300 ums, so unit 1 and 2 are each worth 120 ums, and the ISA is worth 60 ums
Edexcel gb out woo!

Yup, if you're referring to C3 that is.

I like how you already knew it was C3, I didn't even have to say :lol:

They were definitely the most difficult exams though :frown:
The chemistry papers confused me a lot :s-smilie:


Chem 4 was difficult but Chem 5 went better than expected, but even that doesn't instill me with confidence :/

Well it's kinda obvious isn't it - most C3 papers are like 69 for an A* and then this one is 64 for full UMS. It's just insanely low :tongue:

Yeah I did, what unit did you do? I did cold environments.

Don't you think the boundaries are a bit high this time? :s-smilie:
Haha edexcel actually put the grade boundary for C3 down.
