Hope this again helps!!

Anyone on the OCR board lurking?

Well done! 33 is a great score. I only hope my class have done as well!

yee whats up!

For the 1950's question I think for the 1st one I put discipline and single sex classes then for the second part class size and the school day. Anybody else put this?

Wow Higher Tier sounded difficult haha, do you know the answers for the Foundation Tier? xD

I did the AQA French and I have to say it was bloody hard.

I didn't have a clue what the people were saying towards the end. I found the reading question easier towards the end however I completely guessed question 6. I didn't understand the text. I couldn't find the word expensive or cheap or delayed etc.

How did everyone else find it?

I've only brought the higher paper home but ill do it tomorrow for you if you like! As for the other question about skiing, the box says 'he always goes skiing at Christmas' which is what the boy said in the audio- family wasn't mentioned, from what I recall!

I'd imagine 36 A* 33 should be an A, maybe 28 a B? 24 C?
C? I'm pure guessing though as it all depends on how everyone has done!

Yeah, I know! Did you find the reading really difficult too?

On the grade boundaries bit, last year
35 a*
31 a
26 b
22 c
