1% doesn't seem to be a big account for 20 extra level C marks! That means that this years paper could have 20 less easy mrks to gain but only 1% less for each grade?

right.. got the first bit but what is the second bit about??

I've just updated the original post with information for this year's exam:

A - 78% (101/130)
B - 64% (83/130)
C - 51% (66/130)
D - 44% (57/130)

The boundaries are up slightly this year, probably reflecting the fact that most of the paper was quite straightforward. The full Principal Assessor's report is available from the SQA website:
