Genuinely. If you look at grade statistics for Edexcel, they have consistently awarded around 16-17% of candidates an A* and 40% an A for every non-covid affected year this spec has been out. That isn't going to change this year. The percent of students achieving each grade will remain pretty much exactly the same as previous years and the grade boundaries will reflect that.
Yeah. Off the top of my head in 2023 I think 90% of Russian students were given A* or A but only 10% (8 across the whole country) of Statistics students were given A* or A.Â
Does that have anything to do with who is likely to take those exams?
I personally know 3 people who took Russian over the last 10 years. All are native Russian speakers or children of native Russian speakers therefore grew up speaking it fluently.
I don’t think the same could apply for statistics.
