WJEC(out of Wales) GCSE grade boundaries.

Has anyone got access to the grade boundaries for higher tier English language (and less urgently lit) or a working link.

I've googled and the link I get leads to one, meaningless line of figures.

Thanks and Wine

You need to use the drop down box to find the relevant papers.

Titchy you are a Star.

That's the page I'd found, but it's so tiny on my phone I hadn't realised they were drop boxes.

I just thought it was broken.

It's actually nicer than the other boards 70pg PDF.

Thanks again, I'll fire up my desktop and have a proper look tomorrow. Thanks

That all makes a lot of sense, and no sense at all.

Can I be really cheeky if Titchy if you're an English teacher or any one else reading this thread is can you PM me.

DD has such crazily spaced grades (2xa, b and u) that either the WJEC have taken leave of their senses or I'm going to have have serious words with the SENCO (DDs dyslexic and the English dept)

My sons WJEC Eng Lang results were all over the place too - A, C, C, D.

Which module was it she got the U for?

Writing, taken straight after the reading which is a clear a.

She says the reading was really easy, all the spellings were in the passage.

However, she also loved the writing. She's read a 'fault in our stars', seen the film and followed the author on YouTube.

She knows her spelling is shit and her tenses wander, but she won't have written complete rubbish and she will have answered the correct question.

She'd be totally happy with a d or even an e, but falling off the higher tier marks altogether is a bit much.

We ran into set ones teacher and she said her class had lower marks in the writing than she expected too, so it seems they were very harsh.

Even the Humanities ones were all weirdly. Everything from a A to a D. Even stranger, the A was for the element we spent about 45 minutes on.

Fortunately her humanities, Geog C and RE (full course) B are with other biards and the marks make sense.

She knew Geog would suffer for her spelling and not remembering the names in the case studies.

RE she enjoys, she likes putting together reasoned arguments, hence the writing mark looking just so odd.

(She got straight As for science and maths)
