What grade would this mark be?
GCSE I assume?
Definitely an 8, likely to be a 9.

Probably a 9, although I shouldn't say that as it should be purely stats based.
Maybe an 8
I would expect it to be a 9, but it could be an 8 if the papers were easy. Won't be lower than an 8 though
Various predictions suggest that will be somewhere on the boundary between 8 and 9. Much will depend on how well people do in general.

Looks like A*/Grade 9 has been made way difficult to achieve. In the past that would be an A*, easily.

A* is 8 but the top of the A* students will get 9s

Foundation or Higher?

On Foundation, this would be a grade 5.
On Higher, it would be between 8/9

it's cuz one of the questions said 4.5 and i put down 18/4. It was equivelant to 4.5 but it was a shapes question and I wasnt sure whether to give the mark or not.

unless ur doing like edexcel or something, these grade boundaries are too high.
Almost certainly a 9, unless the exam is particularly easy.

Does Edexcel have higher grade boundaries?

I don't really know tbh. I thought they would all be the same considering the specifications are all the same now.
