Yeah, we can lose a total of 14.5 marks in the 3 papers to get exactly 90%.
to be accurate you can loose 14 marks to get a RAW MARK of 90%...A raw mark dosent guarantee you an A*..........the A* can even stand at 92% or any other percentage....but that depends on the grade thereshold of that session :p

ok one thing.........my teacher told me that they always use percentile to BENEFIT the students. So, they would never increase the A* threshold over 90%, though they can decrease the threshold to benefit us :)

Yeah, I know. I didn't add that to keep it simple.
Besides, from what I've seen in the ATP's, I reckon the thresholds will be high. :mad:
Anyways, you have got to aim for AT LEAST a raw mark of 90%.

I'm not too sure about that. I know that the thresholds for A can be quite low. But for A*... No idea.
