Anyone doing PiXL maths PPEs march?

Hey guys! Anyone else doing the PiXL maths 9-1 GCSE PPEs. Just done mine and got 139/240 overall, I was kinda disappointed with this though. I got 170/240 overall in the PiXL maths PPEs at the end of year 10 (grade 9) so, if anyone else knows what they got please let me know below! ;-)

Hey :smile: I got my results back for the PiXL papers last week, 201/240 in total. I lost more marks in paper 3 than in paper 1 or 2, what about you? Lots of people in my class lost marks due to the new style of answers wanted by the mark scheme, e.g. interpreting a gradient instead of just stating it. Did you have the same problem?
I got 132/240 Anyone got grade boundaries yet ?

Hi, what grade would 139/240 be?

I got 171/240. I was genuinely surprised considering in Year Ten I literally got an U. But our teachers aren't telling us our grade, just only the score- no idea why. Considering I have the head of maths, she will take forever to say it. 😂

For me, I always tend to do worse on Non-Calculator even though that is the easier paper as people say.

WOW! That's amazing 201/240!!! I done best in paper 3 and worst in paper 1! I am just worried I might have lost my 9 this time because I've lost 31 marks compared to last time! I got some of the first questions wrong in each paper with silly mistakes (e.g. I got no marks on the Venn diagram Q)

I also lost marks with the venn diagram I swapped the answers around , I mostly lost my marks in the C grades questions of the papers , however nearly got full marks in all harder questions

Thanks :h:

Silly mistakes kill me. Especially when you look through the paper several times, actually check, and then lose marks on the simplest things (In paper 3 i lost 2 marks on the box plat question because I interpreted the boys data as the girls and therefore got the comparisons wrong :colondollar:.)

Good luck :smile:
I do pixl maths too, but the new result was just 1 mark more than my last mock in December. So i guess some improvement ; )) this time i got 181/240 but I'm aiming for over 200. I think I can definitely do it since the marks I lost were on topics I just didn't revise for lolll (like the venn diagram one and proving circle theorems)
Did any of you get the grades back yet?

Hi! Yeah I got mine back - 140 marks @ Grade 7. Someone else in my class got 119 and got a 7 so I'm thinking I'm quite close to an 8 but don't know the exact boundaries! Bit disappointed with a 7 but still got some time to improve!

No my mark was the highest in the school, most people got in the 80s only a few over 100 marks

You were like less than 10 marks away from 8!! I got my results today
Do you know the exact grade boundaries? I got 190/240 and I've no idea what grade it is yet. My friends also want to know, so if you have the full grade boundaries, that would be really helpful :-).

I know that you needed 179 for a 9, 140 something for 8, 106(something around that for 7. I cant remember others but only 23 marks for 4
