They're a rough guide. What happens is, after all the papers have been marked the examiners get together and discuss the results and where they think the exact grade boundaries should be. It also depends on how hard the paper is. If candidates found it easy and scored high then the grade boundaries will be set high. Last year's physics A2 paper was hard compared to other years so the grade boundaries were lower for that paper than they had been in previous years.Originally Posted by di marco
oh right. when i did my gcses 4yrs ago (that makes me sound old lol!) the boundaries were 20% C, 40% B, 60% A, 80% A*. obviously Ds werent included but id guess that if you got just over 50% you should probably be fine to get a B (dont know for definite though). im sure you did fine though if you think it went okDoing higher tier, my teacher did say the grade boundries would be changing as now D is included for high paper in Maths.. So I think it will be going up, making it a bit harder to get a higher grade.. xwhat tier are you doing spicy, cos depending on the tier depends on what percentage you need for each grade. im sure you did fine though
My brother in law is taking my car. He has to commute to Newcastle everyday so I'm going to be without a car because it'll be 70 miles away at his house. Everybody else seems to use my car except me. My sister is still on the insurance even though she's got her own car, my dad uses it to take rubbish to the tip and now my BIL is using it for work
