no

70% is a B
60% is a C

so 1st exam is out of 80 you will need 56/80 to get a B which is pretty easy aim for an A which is 64/80 not including 12marks that you get for spag.

You get 8 marks for SPaG, four on each of the first sections, and the grade boundaries are generally similar to:
76/84 A*
68/84 A
60/84 B
52/84 C
But it entirely depends on how hard the exams are and how well people do.

No you get 3 spaghetti for every 8mark question their are 4 8markers so that's 12marks for spag in classing the paper which is 80 it'll be 92

Also it nearly always about 68-73% for a B

Ahh, children...

Originally, since 2009, the 8 marker included assessing a candidate's Quality of Written Communication, which is similar to SPaG, so it has not changed for this exam series, the only change has been to add four additional SPaG marks to the first sections of each paper. Hence, it is out of 84.
