I got a 5.0 which sounds okay but it was much worse than all of my past paper so don’t really know how to feel. just gotta wait to see what the unis say ig.

I got a 5.5 which is much worse than I was hoping for. Do you think it would be good enough for Imperial comp sci

Roughly equivalent to a 7 last year so quite probably! 6.5 last year is equivalent ro a 5 this year so you've done better than you think.

This is not true, a 7 last year was the top 15% which would now equate to roughly a 6.4

It kind of is- the distribution this year has been completely screwed by the unusually huge proportion of 9s. So yeah maybe top 15% this year starts at 6.4, but that includes the “false” 9 grades. So in terms of what universities are looking for, they’re seeing a 5 this year how they would have seen a 6.5 last year. So I think it’s fair to make a guess that a 5.5 this year will be seen as roughly the same as a 7? You’re not wrong about the top 15% but it doesn’t quite work that out when that includes some very falsely Inflated grades

Wdym falsely inflated grades

There was a huuuge amount of leakage, especially in China, so there were a lot of students achieving 100% and therefore getting 9s because of the leaked papers. Falsely inflated isn’t the right term but it’s the best my brain can do rn!

For interest, is this "public" or ...?

wht course where u applyin ?

Pearson released a statement about it but I don’t think they’ve acknowledged how bad it is. You can look at the distribution on their website, the number of 9s is MUCH higher than number of 8s.
