it is?! wow! then thats awesome!!!!!
If 150 on 200 is an A*
That means mistake of 50 marks out of 200
Which on ratio converted to 160 will become mistake of 40 marks.
15 marks you lose in P3, you'll still have to lose 25 more marks in P1 and P6 to be able to reach the BOTTOM of the A*.
It's close to impossible to lose 25 in P1 and P6 when you are good at P3.

for A* my guesses are:-
maths- HIgher than 185 for sure :(
bio- probably 180 (if p1 is kinda hard)
physics- No idea 145 maybe :/
Chemistry- 175 (if p1 is kinda hard)
hey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this year maths was harder than MAY/JUNE 2011 where the GT was 175 for an A* and bio in OCT/NOV 155 was an A* and chemistry was in the same range i think and this year maths was a bit harder than in 2011 so i think it will be 169 or 170 i think but no more bio would be 155 and chemistry would be the same i think your guesses are a bit high

The gt you posted was for the winter session though!
The grade boundary is always higher during winter, due to people retaking after the summer session. If you look at the may/ june gt for last year:

You'll see that the A* boundary didn't go above 140 for almost all of the combinations. So the other guy was actually correct.
Frankly, as long as the boundary is below 160-155 (which it probably will be) we're all getting A*s so we shouldn't fret!

I think V2 gt will be low this year because if you compare the difficulty with last year,papers this year were hard .........................but I think we shouldn't get our hopes high just pray to ALLAH that we all get to go home with our heads up on the result day :)
