OCR A level maths Additional Pure 2024 21st June

@Evil Homer
How did people find it?

Ehh 50/50 couldn't do q4 or q1b. Low boundaries I reckon?

Ehh 50/50 couldn't do q4 or q1b. Low boundaries I reckon?

do u think it could be around the 40s? maybe 45-48 or higher?

Someone please explain the raw score and Ums thing?
What raw score needed for grade B ?
Please someone help

Grade boundaries haven't been determined yet. Raw score is the total amount of marks obtained across all 4 papers. Once the grade boundaries have been set, you will know your grade. Also, just for anyone worrying abt grades, I go to a school with a very high number of students focused on mathematics, and last year for that add pure they complained how they only got half of the paper done. So, this means the grade boundaries will be lower than last year.

Im guessing overall, lower than last year. I think low 190s, high 180s overall (PC1, PC2, FM and Add Pure). For add pure itself, probs 45 or lower, since this paper was so much more difficult than last year.

that is ridiculous... there's no universe where its that low. would be nice but come on. You're not giving a fair prediction for the pure core or mech

How is it ridiculous? Pure Cores are harder than last year, people found them hard. Mechanics was easier, and Additional Pure was significantly harder, by a very large amount. Since last year it was 195 for that combination, considering more papers were harder, and people seem to have performed worse on them than last year, it indicates that the grade boundaries must drop. Simple as that. There is no universe where it would be as high as 240 either, considering it has never reached that high on years with so much easier exams.

The pure cores were not easier than last year... mechanics was in hindsight slightly easier than last year so doubt there'll be huge increase there maybe a few marks. But the pure cores will defo be high 50s they were not harder than last year
I don't think we'll get to 240 tbh. Probs 230 ish

The grade boundaries never were 230, so this year, with overall harder exams (yes, you might find them easier, but most people didnt) than 2023, I highly doubt it will even pass above 200. The exams simply did not yield good enough results for that.

In 2019 they were 234. I do stats whereas you do add pure so it certainly can go higher. ATP I just hope it works out
How big is your sample that say the exams were hard?

For pure core most of my school, which is a school consistently achieving high results in FM, alongside some info from other schools across the country. Although some people dont consider 50-60 as a bad mark, I do, as it nears the edge of the grade boundary. Add Pure almost everyone, from mine, several other (i do note those are private schools, and i dont know how the opinions vary for public ones), and most people on the forums. I know for a fact mech was considered fairly easy, so I am overall assuming, with 2 exams slightly harder (Pure Cores), one easier (Mech), and one extremely more difficult (Add Pure, from what I have heard and understood from past papers, was hardest since it was changed in 2019). So, I am assuming the grade boundaries either drop by several marks, or remain the same, if they choose to be strict, but I highly doubt it will go above 200 (I am somewhat hpping, as worst case scenario for me I think will be mid 210s, and average is mid 220s)

So most people at your school think they got 50-60 for pure core? Then that definitely implies high boundaries.
Pure cores were generally easier by those on forums. Pretty much everyone here universally agrees as such. Mech was definitely easy. Very similar to last years?
I can’t speak on add pure but stats was just a standard paper. So it’ll be consistent like 60.
Pures will probs be mid 50s to low 60s and mech mid to high 50s.
At worst that’s high 230s To high 220s
