Are these Maths GCSE Grade Boundaries legit? LEAKED?!

I recently found a link from Magical Maths which "posted" the "grade boundaries" for the June 2015 Maths Exams. Can someone please review this and confirm if this is actually true? I do realise that the grade boundaries will be officially posted on Wednesday, but this feels to good to be true!

This is a prediction & I think it's from 2014.

Not legit at all.

Yes, I knew there was something fishy going on. Thanks for the reassurance.

And yes, you're right - they are the exact same grade boundaries extracted from Nov 2014.

Can a mod close this thread now?

Thanks for that my heart skipped a beat :biggrin:

Hopefully the actual grade boundaries are 1-3 down above.

Your heart may have only skipped a beat.... my heart almost had a heart attack. :eek:

Yeah, I agree with you, it really should be lower than most exams.

My PREDICTIONS:

158 - A*
132 - A
96 - B
57 - C
26 - D

These are last years boundaries. IMO C will drop to around 54/53, since a lot of people found it hard

Yes, I recently found out that those were extracted from the November 2014 grade boundaries.

You might actually be right - the test was fairly challenging, especially at the end - so C-Graders might be relieved!

LOL, I would love to see a riot of 10,000 students travelling across the whole of UK until they reach the Edexcel HQ and burn the building down...

If we're lucky, Edexcel will post the boundaries on their website at 12.01 tonight as they did with A-level.

As a person who sat GCSE maths a year early and got an A, I would love to see Edexcel raise their boundaries this year. The mathematics standards in this country are far too low, dishing out C grades to people who get 30% of the marks on today's easy papers seems wrong. I know they decide the grade boundaries based on the marks obtained by the students, but something eventually has to be done.

of course you'd love to see the grade boundaries be raised, you didn't do the exam and you're a selfish little tw*t.
if you was sitting this exam you certainly wouldn't be saying that, hypocrite.
