Many across the country found this paper almost impossible. An incredibly difficult paper, bombarded with worded questions which was unusual. It was a difficult paper, however if compared to the last 4-5 years past papers, this years exam is almost impossible. Many students will be missing out on the grade they deserve, it was an unfair exam. We feel that we've been sacrificed for the upcoming Year 10s who will have their exams and specification changed. This is is totally unfair and we at least deserve lower or very similar grade boundaries from last year. To reinforce this paper contained questions that were seen to be A-level standard in some cases and were worded quite difficultly, as a result many students across the UK would agree that the grade boundaries should be dropped.

This exams was the hardest exam ever, please do lower the grade boundaries so I can at least scrape a C.
The exam board (edexcel) are extremely cruel and inhuman - they set us ridiculous exams, which are absolutely arduous. They do not take in to account the stress and immense pressure us young people face whilst in the exam, hence they employ high grade boundaries. I am an a A* maths student but this year exams I believe my grades have dropped significantly. (maybe to a high B) Edexcel have completely utterly disgusted me, I personally believed edexcel were the board to choose to ensure I earned the best grades (A*) which I have been preparing all year for. I hope you consider to lower the grade boundaries of the edexcel maths 2016 Higher tier. Surely you want the best grades of every pupil. Thank you
