AQA Philosophy (New Specification) AS Level Results

Just wondering what the results were for people who took the new AQA philosophy exam. (the 3hr one). Most people in my school got around C's and E's and I only know of 3 A's in total, which i find weird cos it's a new spec so i imagined they'd mark it low to make it seem better... ?

I was predicted an A/B but came out with a C, can't say that I'm disappointed as I wasn't going to do it until A2 anyway, but still would have been nice to get the B i thought I deserved.
I agree with you thinking they'd mark it a bit low, its kind of unfair as there were so few example materials to go off of. I don't know anyone in my college that got a B or higher.

Yeah everyone I know received quite low and disappointing grades. I got an E (which really stood out amongst my other grades). I think the grade boundary should have been lower, that would have been most fair because like the other user said we had very few examples to revise from. I'm hoping to retake it whilst doing A2.
