So to summarise grade 9 like grade 8 but a bit better!

Highlights include the difference between and 6 and a 8 in Geography: relevant and broad goes to relevant and comprehensive. That clears everything up then.

Last day of term so great timing, guess I will be spending some of it trying to decode what this means for my little niche subject (astronomy).

I think it means "we haven't got a fucking clue"

It means “over to you, teachers. You bear the flack as we can’t be arsed”

Same as the exam boards refusing to issue any new papers. Tch.

B: not a C or an A... Like when Baldrick tried to write a dictionary and put 'cat: not a dog...'. And they had how long to come up with this?

But there are no grade descriptors in a normal year. JCQ were set up on this one, I'm afraid.
