I sat the old specification and it went horribly wrong on their part - completely stressed and am now waiting to hear what they are going to do about it 👎🏻

I doubt it'll be that high, considering previous grade boundaries have been decreasing, was something like 69 2 years ago and it was 64 for a C last year. So we're probably looking at about 65

Here's what i'm going for:

D - 35
C - 68
B - 105
A - 141
A* - 170

I think they will be fairly low as they want to get rid of us

I hope they do so, because the new spec is so hard and if we fail it's going to be hard to pass next year! But these grade boundaries are too low I guess!

Wouldn't say TOO low to be honest. Last years was 70 marks to get a C. If there's a possoble decrease by 2 marks it wouldn't be low. Just pray for it to at least be between 60-65.

Last year's grade boundary for a C was 64, where are you getting 70 from?

Yeeees I hope so I fell like I'm going to be nervous all the holiday! if the grade boundaries are really high it will be devastating resiting the new spec in a matter of one year teaching.

I did the old spec higher paper too today and it was very difficult! Ive done about 5-6 practice papers and have gotten A's and 1 A*.This had questions I had never seen lol. They definitely did this on purpose - not wanting us to reap the advantage of an easier spec over the new one since its the last time.
