JumpingJoey -
A girl in my DDs class got 999 and 7 A*.
I'm very impressed.

so not to

MsHarry · 25/08/2017 15:25

I'm off to to buy DD2 school shoes now. Help! If I hear anything back from DD1's teachers re AQA marks then I will post back here. Thanks all so much, I've learnt to much and will at least be better informed by the time DD13 gets there. Smile

Ah! So that's what the letter there means!! I was wondering too.

We asked for history remark yesterday as 3 ums off next grade. Result back this morning - no change.
I'm glad we went for it as at least she knows now.
Just thought I'd let everyone know seems to be fast turnaround. (Yesterday we were told could be up to 20 days)

MsHarry · 25/08/2017 15:23

Yes, DD's friend had an 'M' next to hers, so I guess that's a merit.

English language is out of 160. The grade boundaries are on the link. Individual components only have notional grade boundaries (out of 80) because it is a linear qualification. You have to take all components.

It was released at 8am yesterday. Now it's gone!

MsHarry · 25/08/2017 15:11

But earlier I found the grade boundaries for a 9, 8 and 7 etc. I think it was 60ish out of 80 to get a 9 but can't find it anywhere.

TheFallenMadonna · 25/08/2017 15:10

Unlike in a modular qualification.

TheFallenMadonna · 25/08/2017 15:09

That is the correct document. The notional guide just means in a linear multi component exam, each component is not graded separately.

Thanks but that's just a notional guide and not the actual numbers for each grade.That's all I can find too.

My ds and I are really pleased with his results with a mixture of A's, B's + 1c.
I would also like to ask what it means that there is the letter P under the End1 column alongside his Eng Lang grade 7. Does anyone know?

MsHarry · 25/08/2017 14:58

Can't find the AQA grade boundaries for eng lang . I found them earlier now they don't seem to be anywhere. Anyone got them on a handy link?
