Choosing the correct Tier for Science and Mathematics 30% of the marks are common to both tiers in Science and at least 20% are common in Mathematics.

Choosing the correct Tier for Science and Mathematics • The legacy tiering encouraged schools to enter C+ grade students into the Higher Tier. • If they had a ‘really bad day’ then they would at least gain an E grade • Grade E was the safety net. The current tiering is designed to enter grade 5+ students into the Higher Tier. If they have a ‘really bad day’ then they would at least gain a grade 3. Grade 3 is the safety net. 5 -5 9 -9 9 -8 8 -7 7 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4 -4 (4 -3) The grade boundary between grade 4 and grade 3 is 1/3 of the usual size. Students who fall below this gain a U. U
