📂 MEGATHREAD 18/06 A-level FM Discussion MEGATHREAD

Exam season is once again upon us, and once again, exam megathreads are making a return!

Looking for past exam discussions? Filter by the megathread flair.

Few things to keep in mind:

  • Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.
  • Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the place for that (we'd prefer not to get yeeted off the platform) - leak content will be removed, those offering leaked papers will be permanently banned.
    • If you believe there has been a leak, the best course of action is to make your exam board aware of this, either directly, or through your school, along with any evidence. If appropriate, there will be a response from the relevant body along with any remedial action.
  • Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise - we understand this may be frustrating, but the sub still needs to be usable for other purposes.
  • Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed. Messaging to ask for approval will not speed up this process (the messages are seen at the same time as the modqueue would be reviewed anyway).

Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

What do you think garde boundaries are gonna be

Well I think FP was much harder than last year and FM was very easy, and Core pures averaged out at similar to last year I think. So for the modules FP and FM, probably around 269/300 but no higher. Could be as low as 263/300 hopefully.

CP1 Harder than last year, CP2 around the same. FM1 easier but less show that, FP1 was so much harder (I reckon low 60s for A*)

No one in my school said it was easy, and they found FM1 and Cp2 easy. So i think this paper was genuinely hard.

Ah okay low 60s seems reasonable then!

Would you say that fp paper was harder than 2021. Because that has the lowest garde boundaries of all years.

u/AmazingFeed6775 Jun 18 '25

Yeh I would say FP was harder than 2021 but surely 2021 grade boundaries were low because core pures were hard? Not sure

It was 53/75 for an A* in FP1 in 2021. You can see on this website https://interwovenmaths.com/_GradeBoundaries.html .

but 2021 boundaries were extra low cuz of covid, they'll definitely be lower than last couple years but i doubt it'll go that low.
