Sorry to butt in, but is this Physics Edexcel you're talking about? :smile:


well it definitely can't be AQA, with AQA, p1 was good but p2&3 was some sort of fresh hell xD

I did it in Year 10 (last year).

Ah- it was the opposite with Edexcel. P1 was horrid.

I think I made lots of silly mistakes, but a lot of the questions were just mega tricky. I'm hoping the grade boundary will be low :smile:
AQA P2 and 3 were absolutely horrible, they were my last exam so I couldn't wait to get out of there and go home. Unfortunately I was the only one left in the library as I was the only one there taking it, so the invigilator started talking to me after and all I could think was "please let me go ;-;"

For edexcel maths?? But that's so low! I feel like 100 is acceptable for a C haha.. That's 50%


It won't be that high, 100 is normally the B grade and 60-70 is normally the C grade

I totally agree! Completely lost my faith in physics after p2, p3 was slightly better for me but not by much. I hope the grade boundaries are low. It was a bit of a rubbish end to the exams I'd rather have ended on a high!

Original post by Thelabtatpast
How many marks do you reckon you got in each paper


Well, i think i got about 30-35 in the first one and about 32-36 in the second one but that was just me guessing... what about you? i think i will be very close to a C grade maybe even a few marks off. I just really hope i scrape it. don't care if I'm bang on the c boundary ill take it any day

Hey, i would estimate about 82 on each paper to get A* so about 164 all together for A*

I know right? When I took P1 I thought "Wow I'm gonna get my best grade in physics if the rest are that good" and then AQA were like "Sorry you wanted a good grade? Nah"

I completely agree, I had to leave the exam hall and calm down for 5 minutes after attempting the P2 resistance question.
Did anyone do the WJEC exams? :~)
Hey guys
For anyone taking Edexcel GCSE Sciences (Biology Chemistry Physics) I have compiled a list of past grade boundaries so you can see how the boundaries have varied from year to year.

You can see how it looks like from this screenshot for biology.
Scroll down later to find Chemistry and Physics.

Note that exams began apparently in June 2014 for the current specification after a change, and dates before June 2012 were simply too difficult to interpret, which is the reflection of the exam board itself as well.

Is there one for OCR Gateway/21st Century or Edexcel?


Edexcel is done :smile:

Hiya.

OK, thank you. I guess we'll find out in a couple of days :smile:
I'm waiting to find out my tragic German listening results.
