Last year, to get a grade 9 in maths you needed a 190/240.

This years maths exam was slightly easier I'd say, so I think 200/240 would be right on the dot for a grade 9.

So I think if you were to get 200/240, you would get a grade 9 or at the very least a very high grade 8.

Doesn't matter too much on what you get, it matters more on how poorly or well the rest of the Year 11s in the country do! :biggrin:

I'm also aiming for a 9 in maths. Good luck.

True 😂best of luck for ur results!! I hope u get all the grades you wanted
i'm hoping for a 5, in fact I need that grade to get into my college and since maths is a really difficult subject for me, I'm hoping a miracle will happen and I can get the grade I need haha
I'm guessing it'll be 200 for a 9, and perhaps 60/70/80 to get a 4-5. The paper was alot easier than specimen papers and a little easier than the year above's paper, I still found it difficult, but if you're naturally a grade 9 student, then I'm sure you'll get that grade.

Out of interest, what are you planning on doing at college?

Sorry, I've been revising all day and I'm bored. :tongue:

that would most likely be a 9
Does anyone have an idea about how many marks you’d need for a 6?

I would estimate between 102-105 but don't count on it. In November 2017, 85 was a Grade 6 whilst in June last year it was 96. Dw you got this!

Thank you! I think I got between 95-105 but since a lot of people are saying they found it a lot easier than last year I’m not sure it’ll be enough :/
