Physical Education grade boundaries

Does anyone know what the grade boundaries roughly are for Edexcel PE?
Because I really want an A*

You could ask your teacher perhaps when u go in for one of your exams because the Edexcel site is rubbish... she goes off on a rant

Me too, my practical was 1 mark away from an A* but i think the exam went ok - before the exam, my teacher said the boudaries were 84% for an A* which shouldn't be hard

hey...

did you know that PE is one of the hardest to get A's and A*'s for.

Believe it or not, last year's uk statistics were something like:

3% A*
7% A
A whole bunch of Bs... something like 30% B

dunno the rest.

I checked the examiner's report on the edexcel website.

Also, the grade boundaries are 82% for A*, 75% for A and 60% for B.

To be getting an A* for P.E you really should score straight 10s on your practical and at least half 9s half 10s.

I scored 8, 9, 10, 10 on first session and 9, 9, 10, 10 on second...

which meant I needed 80% on the exam for a guaranteed A*...

So if you scored worse than me, theres virtually no chance you can get A* :smile:

Sorry...

ahh edexcel make more sense, OCR is well, i wont say it, but i know that its soo had to get a good mark and im desperate for an A* but our practical marks were slightly weird and varied completely with differnt people, we had one girl who used to play county netball got a lower mark then some random person who geniunely cant play netball so im really worried about PE :frown:

never mind will all be over soon, just ask your teachers and maybe check the GCSE results for your school last year to see what people usually get??

robpcddude... u got 9,9,10,10 which means that ur average is 95% - and nearly everyone got full marks for analysis and performance (worth 10% of final mark) so u already have 57.5% of the final grade

if the grade boundaries as my pe teacher predicted 84%, then all u need is 67% in that final test, that not hard at all!
