Predicted grade boundaries??
Original post by dance25
Not sure tbh.. Maybe major but hopefully just a minor error
I think they're quite particular with vocab though x

Yeh they are aren't they. Consilium can mean plan though so fingers crossed. Thanks!

Hopefully fairly low, it wasn't as easy a paper as language 1, so....

Would I lose all 4 marks if I translated a perfect passive participle as an ablative absolute? :frown: Stupid I know...

To seek their plan as a literal translation is correct (both of those words can translate as that in the world list). So I would say most likely just a minor error

I would say 55/60 A* for Paper 1 (49/60 A) as it was fairly easy and possibly 53/60 A* and (47/60 A) for Paper 2 as it was slightly harder but still not the worst history paper I've ever seen! I don't really know though aha :tongue:

I found paper 2 easier than paper 1, anyone else?

When people are debating even over the 1 and 2 mark questions, it means there's definitely going to be fairly low grade boundaries; besides, the average grade boundary for an A* in Latin is 46-48...

Hopefully, as a non private school student..I bring it down :tongue::wink:

[That's no insult to private school students- I had to leave the independent school into which I obtained a scholarship in language and mathematics...]

Well I wouldn't say clever...but rather 'focused extremely heavily on my interests'.

That is, I can speak a number of languages [8 to be exact], am doing 15 GCSEs, and 2 AS Levels, and became a member of Mensa at the age of 6.

Somehow though, I'm struggling to get an A* in my GCSEs...
