June 2016 was the first year using this new format, where P1 was replaced for the Extended candidates with Paper 2, the only substnatial change, and grade
boundaries dropped by nearly 10% for the A*, emphasising how important understanding the exam techniques and patterns in Paper 2 really is!
The higher boundaries are usually for
• November students (possibly a result of more students in the Northern Hemisphere taking a resit)
• March, which is only carried out in India

The questions, however, are totally different between Core and Extended papers. Being able to do well in a Core
paper (i.e. get 100%) means that you are still only working at a C grade level!!!
