Examinations

[Mr-Trainor]

can't believe people found C2 easier than C1 I got 100 on C1 and 88 on C2

Or maybe I just found C1 really easy as I did add maths which is basically just the C1 course anyway (A)

Got C3, C4 and S1 coming up. C3 and S1 are easy but C4 can be a bit confusing.. Did well on my mocks though so hopefully that bodes well!

I find C3 and C4 hard - I also have both of them . I got 67 on C3 in Jan but I've realised if I get 80 in S2 then I only need to get 66 in C4 to get an A, so tbh I don't really know why I retook C3 .

But for an A you need to average 80 on C3 and C4 though, right? Or is that just OCR, I don't know.

I got 94% (raw marks) on both C3 and C4 mocks so that would be an A* for me (meaning I could get like 30% in S1 to still get an A* (A).. although I got 97% anyway lol)

Omg I hope not. I've never heard of that though so I doubt it.

Just checked and as I thought, and I'm glad : you need a 270 average accross the 3 A2 modules if you want an A* overall, but any other grade just goes by the overall total of all six.

Oh I thought it applied to all grades

From what I understand, for an A* you need to average 90% in C3 and C4 and then 80% overall.

So for an A you just need to average 80% overall? I thought the grade depended on the result in the compulsory A2 papers (C3 and C4?)

Oh I'm on Edexcel btw, not OCR . But yeah for Edexcel an A is 80% overall, and A* is 80% overall plus 90% average in C3/C4 (I was reading the wrong A* bit earlier).

You've read that wrong, it's 90% in Core 3 and Core 4 minimum, not an average (So 100% in C3 and 89% in C4 won't get you an A*)

And that's the same for AQA as well...

but that would be 189 UMS in c3 and c4 which it allows according to that? ;o since that's just asking for 180 total over those 2

Yup, ignore me. I got it wrong I got it wrong all throughout Year 13 as well To be fair, the teachers did tell us the wrong thing for about half the year It didn't matter for me anyway, since my C4 grade was poor

[Mr-Trainor]

Lol - no way I'm getting an A* anyway . Hoping I'll just about make an A.
