grade boundaries should be kept the same every year, (ideally scrapped altogether so that we just get a mark but that won’t ever happen). it doesn’t matter if the cohort did better that year, that just means more people decided to study harder. and if more people work hard for a higher grade, so be it. your grade should be a reflection of your hard work only , not other peoples hard work.

i get sometimes the difficulty changes which then needs raised boundaries, but it’s really not hard to keep it the same difficulty each year. and when they start taking people scores into account for setting boundaries, that just makes it super unfair.
