How many marks do I need to get a C in GCSE Higher Maths?

Hey ppl



I just had a maths exam and I need to know how many marks do I need to pass. I heard that they change the grade boundries every year. Is that true?



Thanx evry1How many marks do I need to get a C in GCSE Higher Maths?
Depends what exam board it was. Yes they will change the grade boudaries each year as the questions are different.



The thing is you don't know what marks you may or may not be given, so it's almost impossible to say what grade you'd get anyway... in any case lots of luck I hope you get the grade you want.How many marks do I need to get a C in GCSE Higher Maths?
The grade depends on the way the exam is marked, some years, if an exam paper is considered easy, they up the grade boundaries!!

But a good rule of thumb is that if you get at least 40% in the higher paper you should get a ';C';.

If the papers each have a total mark of 100, you need to get an average mark of 40 for each paper or a total mark of 80 for both papers.
Generally:



C - 28-35%

B - 43-50%

A - 60-65%

A* - 75-80%



It depends on how easy the paper is, the mock was so hard in my school that it was 28% for a C but on another day It could be 35%.

Math is one of the hardest subjects so the boundaries are usually quite a lot lower.
out of 100 marks you need a minimum of 35-45 marks to get a C in mocks as far as I know, B - 46 or sumthing like that, im not fully sure, sorry
is the examboard edexcel cos if it is the answers are on www.thestudentroom.co.uk so you can chek your percent i reckon a C would b about 40%
It depends on how hard the exam is.

a B is 60%

so i'm guessing a C is around 40-50%?
50 - 59% is normally a C

but if you think you got 70% that might just be a A - well done! :D
