Probably quite low, but I suspect many more people (not just further mathematicians) will have taken maths AS, so not too low. Maybe similar for AS FM.

well i reckon I got 130/160 (lowesT) in AS maths

and 100/160 (lowest) in AS FM.

would that be 2 Bs or 1 B (FM) and 1 A (M)

My school has predicted 75% for an A Grade in new A Level Maths, according to our mocks. We are not doing well. Mostly grade 7/8 students from GCSE.

So how many people got at least 75% at your school?

There are two classes and around 25-30 students. Most scores were 40-60%. Around 5 people scoring 60%+. There were also some below 40% . We are taking the exam next year.

That s insane, can't believe the top score is only 80%
Were they much harder than the practice paper (A to I ones)?

I've just been reading around and found this website called Crash Maths where a number of schools participated in mock exams and they all submitted the results and they calculated grade boundaries.

The grade boundaries for Paper 1 are:
-A (76/100)
-B (63/100)
-C (50/100)
-D (37/100)
-E (24/100).

That does seem a bit low

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had any details of what the new spec grade boundaries will be like for new spec A level maths and further maths.

Most new spec boundaries have been lower.

In my experience, Biology went down to 50% for an A
Chemistry to about 57%.

Physics to 68%.

Others stayed about the same.

Like always, you typically get the grade you would've got on the old spec
