GCSE new two tier maths syllabus - Foundation or Higher?
Deciding which to enter? But if capable of a C , then try for a BThe new two tier GCSE Maths only offers a foundation (1 hour 30 min) or a higher paper (1 hour 45 min) option. If you are capable of getting a safe C, you can get that grade on either paper. But go for the higher paper. To get a C, on the GCSE maths foundation paper you need to get around 75%, but only about 42% on the GCSE maths higher paper where the questions are more demanding. Between taking your Mocks and the real thing expect to improve your grade by at least one. So if you got a C for your mock then you should be taking a higher paper. That's the only way you can get a B. The grade boundaries are being modified, based on the mock results fed in from schools. Initially they were marked a little too high - so expect the real papers to have slightly lower grade boundaries than the mocks. |
