XXX Lower grade boundaries for CHEMISTRY UNIT 4 2016

This is people's futures you are messing with AQA. Extremely low grade boundaries are the only way you can rectify this situation.

extremely hard paper

This went absolutely terrible. Potentially ruined my chances of getting a B at A Level Chemistry. The questions were way off spec and were completely different to any other past paper. If chem5 is also like this then I think my chances at getting a good grade at chem will be gone as will my university offer.

Bounderies lower!!

Guys i just found out that the C1 Maths petition was rejected - this is what it said Why was this petition rejected? It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for. We cannot accept your petition because the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for the issue you raise. Grade boundaries are set by exam boards. Exam boards are regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), which regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England. You can make a complaint to Ofqual about the organisations it regulates, including complaining about grade boundaries set by individual exam boards. Further information about how to complain is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofqual/about/complaints-procedure. We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards. So even though it was a blooody hard paper .. will this make a difference?

AQA I'm calling you out. It is blindingly obvious that this disgrace of a paper was part of your corrupt scheme to make some of the brightest students in the country get awful grades in order to make your new specification look good. I'm certainly not the only one who is aware of this. Most of this paper was irrelevant. it's a complete joke, one that could cost so many students their futures.

Unfair examination

Totally agree, this was just unnecessarily made challenging, paper felt very disrupted/didn't flow. Question style was very different to those of past papers. Hate to say it but I feel that there is nothing to salvage when it comes to my chemistry grade, will not be able to make my offer of an A grade.

Designed to trick you, not to test your knowledge.

Please be nice

Ridiculously hard and unfair as many people have worked hard for this exam and these exams have so much importance

Paper was absolutely disgusting, it was more of an applied maths exam!

As a person who consistently gets A*'s in practice exams, it is a discusting abuse of the power they have to set exams, I'll be exstatic if I get a B.

Please be nice

this year's paper is so unfair. There too many time-consuming questions. Some questions are out of syllabus. I did the past paper within 55m minuet, today I don't even had time to finish it. I've done every single past paper, But after the exam, I feel I waste my life to do them. The grade boundary for an A* should not higher than June 2012 and 2011, they were 82. But they are not at same level. To be fair, it should be lower than80.

Every single question was designed to make us student slip up, The paper did not flow the same way as previous papers and I feel it was an extremely unfair representation of or Chem4 knowledge!

the most difficult chem4 to date, ridiculous questions about things that are not in our syllabus

extremely hard paper compared to previous papers. To not lower grade boundaries would put us at an unfair disadvantage over the previous candidates.
