2 marks off an A so I'm getting it remarked (also it's gotten more difficult recently. As far as I know, on the modular course, you could resit modules to increase your marks and grade, so grade boundaries were bound to be higher. Also you could forget all the content once that module was done - once you did the statistics module(s), you could forget it all and focus on Mechanics and whatever else. The tests were fairly regularly too I believe? January and May Us poor sods who decided to be born in September 2000 onwards had to sit a linear A-Level course in which we have to remember 2 years worth of Maths content  it doesn't sound too bad, but when they reformed the A Level they mixed in some Further Maths content. It's became a lot harder, and when I did past papers I was consistently getting AsWith the new content it can be so inaccessible

I know its very hard, just messing with you, well done on your grade 2 marks off is annoying, you would think the assessors would use a bit of common sense

 it's just me ranting how, if I was born a month earlier, I would've had a relatively easier time. It was also me partly explaining why the grade boundaries are so low You'd hope it boggles me how I did so well in Chemistry. We're talking very high grade boundaries and I consistently got Bs and Cs between November and March. Somehow I managed to get an A with enough room between the A* and Bthe fact I consistently got As in Maths all throughout the 2 years PLUS the relatively low grade boundaries of Maths would make you think I'd have got the higher grade in Maths but here we are

You should've seen ours. Cherie is actually on the mark with what she said but 52% (on my exam board) was only an A for one of our papers, overall it was 10% higher We needed 70% and 62% for the other papers The highest you'd need for a C at minimum across all 3 papers is 45% in Paper 3 though I have no idea how the syllabus compares but Maths has always been a ruthless subject
