I’ve used the raw mark grade equivalent boundaries for each component, published by AQA on their website today (see below). Percentages on the tracker are calculated to 2 decimal places for accuracy. The columns containing formulae are also β€˜locked’ to prevent accidental corruption of your data.

Agia Pelagia is on the northern coast, but about an hour away. It’s nearer to Heraklion. Crete is special. Have you walked the Samaria Gorge? More manageable at this time of the year when it’s a little cooler. Guessing you’ve visited Knossos.

My parents used to live on the northern coast in a mountain village called Xromonastiri, near Rethymnon. Beautiful island.

Given that Altar Mitty likes joining a new branch of religion every five minutes, maybe he should become a Buddhist next and learn all about Karma.

When I lived and worked as a teacher in Brighton here in the UK many years ago, after a busy day I’d meet friends for a natter on the sea front. The sound of the ocean soon dissipated any stress or tension. I miss the ocean - and the friends I made there - dearly
