AQA GCSE Science Grade Boundary Predictions - June 2016

AVERAGE FOR A* & A (2013 - 2015) + PREDICTIONS FOR THIS YEAR

B1: 46, 37 --> lower, around 42 for an A* and 34 for an A
B2: 44, 37 --> about the same as average
B3: 42, 38 --> similar to average once again

C1: 48, 39 --> higher, around the 50 mark for an A*, 43 for an A
C2: 48, 38 --> same/similar to C1
C3: 44, 39 --> about the same as average, or maybe 2 marks higher (triple is mostly lower than other 2)

P1: 46, 37 --> similar to average
P2: 44, 36 --> lower, 40 for A*, 33 for an A (just because I don't think AQA are that nice )
P3: 44, 39 --> similar to P2

What does everyone else think? :h:

Praying for low B1 grade boundaries and might have a chance of an A :smile: Also, B2 wasn't great for me despite having literally the most preparation out of all of the units:biggrin:

Thanks for this thread!
My predictions for the A* boundary for AQA Triple Science:

B1: 43,
B2: 44
B3: 47

C1: 48
C2: 51
C3: 46

P1: 46
P2: 38
P3: 42

Good to see p2 so low because that was my worst exam. Great thread!

I hope they're low too - considering there was so much outrage over the paper I think they may be :smile: Yeah none of the Biology papers were amazing for me either but I think Bio is just my worst science (even though I'm taking it next year :redface:)

No problem :tongue:

Yeah my worst ones were P2/P3 (they kinda merged in my memory :lol:) and B1 :redface: I think physics ones should be really low because they're usually the lowest anyway and this was so much harder than the previous years'. :colonhash:

Thank youuuuuuuuuuu!!! And yes the biology paper was awful and they look nationally so if a majority did not do well then hopefully they should lower the grade boundaries fingers crossed! Also, good luck for taking it next year - I too am taking it for A levels next year xx Thank you again xxx
If those were the boundaries I'd cry tears of joy! I'm glad everyone found the exams similar to how I felt!:h:
So do you guys think that the 2015 C1 paper was as easy at this years C1?

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with the P2 Physics Grade Boundaries, I believe they shall be the same as last year, but oh well that's just me.

I didn't find P2 overly difficult tbh, but P3 was horrific. I had no idea what the f was going on in that exam...

Looking back on the papers, P2 was more difficult than P3 imo.

P3 made me wanna die. I looked twice at most of the questions :confused:

tbh I can't really remember P2 that well... what were some of the questions that were difficult? I remember looking at some of the questions like wtf and some of the calcs were unnecessarily difficult... have any aqa markschemes/papers leaked yet?

it was probably my worst exam but I really don't care for Physics so I'm strangely not worried about it:biggrin:

Nor me, but I bet it knocked my overall grade down
