Grade boundaries for gcse 9-1 maths 2017

Grade predictions for 9-1 gcse maths 2017
all out of 240

9-210
8-180

7 - 150
6 - 120
5 - 90
4 - 60

I feel like a 9 will be higher than 210 though.

you repeated what i wrote

Yeah, before you edited it.
I got around 120(least)-130(most), have I secured a 6?

Now that the papers are designed to have 50% of their content at grades 7-9, rather than the old spec which had 25% of marks at grades A-A*, might it not be reasonable to suggest that the marks needed for grade 7 would be a little under 50%? Why? Well on the old spec the mark needed for grade A was about 70% (compared with the 75% of marks available for questions below grade A.) So working with this figure and assuming candidates this year will be similar to those in previous years, we should not expect to have to get any grade 7-9 marks to achieve grade 7. That means I'd start looking for the grade 7 boundary around 47%.

Woah, isn't that a little TOO low?
Okay, a 7 could be around 55%, but that's quite a stretch, no?

Maybe your school have set high grade boundaries to make you study more that's what I think. I'm assuming everyone on TSR is basically private/grammar school, so the grade boundaries for you will be pretty high to make you motivated to push for a higher grade. So that's why everyone thinks it's very high

Yeah, I go to a public school and my maths teacher said 40/80 was a 5. In the mocks, I got 48/240 and that was a scale 2. We have really high grade boundaries, and I think that they're doing it to make us strive for better marks.

40 out of 80 is a definete 6 or maybe even 7

Yeah, that's what i'm saying, I think the reason they're so low was to motivate us to do better. But we'll just have to find out and see. All I want is a scale 6 in maths and BB for science. Couldn't really care about the rest tbh.

I can only hope 105 is enough for a 6. Did all my three papers and I think I got 108 ;(
