low? i'd say it's decent. take a look at the 2019 boundaries, they won't rise by like 10 marks it's probably 3 marks increase maximum.

Paper 1 wasn't easy for quite a lot of people, so will have brought grade boundaries down a bit

p1 was hard, p2 decent and paper 3 was 'easier' but the people i've spoken to online and irl are not representative, and based on polls on here and youtube (again not representative) i don't think the boundaries would shift more than 3/4 marks. not to mention a vast number of people missed the 5 marker at the end of p3.

do you mind if you can do OCR maths foundation grade 4 or/and grade 5 prediction please? ive heard people say that you need a 40 for each paper to pass (so 120 in total of 3 papers to pass) but im not entirely sure about that. thanks!

i don't do ocr maths foundation so i don't think it's fair for me to increase 3/4 marks based on 2019. once more people start putting in their input for that paper, ill take the average and add it on. based on people who you spoke to and yourself, how did you find the papers overall?

so for paper 1, i thought i did good but then realised that i messed up on the 5 and 6 marker questions as i was really nervous during the exam. paper 2 was definetly way harder than paper 1 as there were so many questions that i wasnt familiar with and paper 3 was easier than paper 2 but i still wasnt able to even get 50 marks.

so paper 1 i think i got 42 marks, paper 2 id say 40 marks, and paper 3 id say 40 or 42 marks.

i'll take a look at the 2019 grade boundaries, and make a wide estimate but it will be highly inaccurate. i can't seem to find the 2021 grade boundaries for edexcel and ocr which is annoying.
