  4. Grade boundaries All decisions were based on raw marks NOT UMS marks. Each type of paper had a very similar set of mark boundaries

  5. Studies in depth * = 39 A = 35 B = 31 C = 27 D = 23 E = 19 F = 15 G = 11

  6. Thematic studies * = 40 A = 35 B = 30 C = 26 D = 22 E = 18 F = 15 G = 12

  7. Outline Studies * = 41 A = 36 B = 31 C = 27 D = 23 E = 19 F = 15 G = 11

  8. Studies in development * = 40 A = 35 B = 30 C = 26 D = 22 E = 18 F = 15 G = 12

  9. Controlled assessment * = 44 A = 40 B = 36 C = 32 D = 28 E = 22 F = 20 G = 16

  10. Controlled assessment Six new exercises have been written. The topic areas are: Jack the Ripper Slate industry in north Wales The Blitz Winston Churchill John Kennedy Adolf Hitler

  11. The new exercises are up on the website. The old exercises are still valid. The rule about changing the exercises every year still remains in force. You should now be looking to submit your chosen tasks for the exam cycle 2013-2014. A form is available on the website.

  12. It is likely that the submission of controlled assessment marks in 2012 will be done electronically. The sample will then be selected electronically. The key date is May 4th NOT May 15th. You should look to get your work off to the moderator by Friday May 4th. This means inputting the marks before this in order for the computer to select the sample.

  13. EXAMINATION DATES Units 1 and 2 Tuesday 12th June Unit 3 Friday June 15th Still need teachers to act as examiners. See Phil.

  14. RESOURCES Heinemann books are recommended: USA and Germany depth USA outline CAA Route B books are on-going: Women and Sport written Crime and Health being piloted NGfL website has useful material, especially on Sport, Leisure and Tourism
