Try their website!!!

But ye i think maths boundaries are quite low!!

I did maths 2day, but i take ocr!!

It also depends how the country scores if everyone scores quite low they wil lower them and vica versa!!

For OCR its about 55% for a B

Good luck

The boundries shouldnt be that low, i found the higher paper was quite easy, so i'm expecting them to be higher. However, they dont finalise the boundries until marked, because the boundries could be lowevered or raised due to the country's performance. These are the mock higher boundries:

A* for over 78%, A for 63-78, B for 47-62, C for 32-47, D for 31 or below, using the average of the 2 papers



The A boundry is never as high as 80 out of 100 marks, its just too high, so ignore what the others say. How did you find the paper?

50% D

60% C

70% B

80% A

90% A*



At least that is what my teacher said that they should be around about, however they can be slightly different depending on how well the paper is answered as a whole. Good luck in any other exams :)

As a mathematics teacher, I will say that when the mock papers were issued the boundaries were originally set high. Subsequently edexcel released a revised set of boundaries, after the papers had been trialled, that were considerably lower, eg A* 81 % A 68% or so etc. It is my understanding that the actual papers (the first you may have now sat) were to have been made slightly easier and the boundaries will therfefore be raised back up towards the high end. Suggest A* 88% A 72% B 54% C 38% D 22% as a rough guide.
