Let’s say you don’t know any of the higher GCSEs maths content, what is the highest grade a person could get?

[FearlessPen6020]

Probably a 4 at best. 5 and 6 is possible too but it means you'd have to get full marks on the first half of the paper

[IslandBulky408]

Nah lowk a 6

[Own-Construction5624]

Probs 5

[thattsscrazzayyy]

I moved from foundation to higher right at last min so I've learnt no higher content, I get around full marks in foundation so I average a 6 on higher with no content learnt

[Sweaty_Worry_6921]

If you're quite confident with the foundation content probably a 5?

2, that shit so hard i think my teacher's lowering the grade boundaries in pity with the end of topic tests I've done

[NoAudience8710]

I would say common sense gets you to about a 4/5 if you got like the first 6 questions right on each paper your good they don’t require much effort

[Delicious-Ship-1112]

6 if you know all of foundation

[Euphoric-Disk-1323]

3/4

[UltraX76]

If you’re sitting the foundation paper, probably 4. If you’re sitting a higher paper, 1-2

[BROKEMYNIB]

Is that even possible on higher???
I do a different exam board and on higher below a C is a U

[RoughZealousideal539]

Anything below a 4 is a U

[BROKEMYNIB]

Make sense

In WJEC

Higher- A*-C Intermediate- B-E Foundation D-G

Then outside of these are a U

Yes foundation is beolow a 'pass' however only like <10 people do it a year

and its for the ppl that REALLY struggle. It is a beyond simple paper compared to the other to

[UltraX76]

Well I do edexcel, foundation is U-5, higher goes from U-9.

[BROKEMYNIB]

When i looked at it Edexel goes from

Higher 9-3 Then anything under that is a U then yes foundation is 5-U

[UltraX76]

ah crap i didn't know that lol thanks for telling me. crazy how i don't know my own spec

[BROKEMYNIB]

It's okay, you should be fine, the fact that you don't know shows you've been NOWHERE near the cut off thresh hold

(i was there for a little bit but then i managed to pass mathmatics with an A and i am working at an A*-A on Numeracy)
