    CIE grading problem for A Level maths

    Its very hard to know. The grading system works on percentile, with a threshold that varies year to year. As in, your grade reflects your performance with respect to your peers. That said, I'm not sure if anybody knows the actual formula CIE uses to calculate your final combined grade. As for...

    A Level English Language Help and Support

    Are we being given extra time as a slight advantage because its a new syllabus or because its harder? Will subsequent(3rd or 4th session) candidates for E.Lang 9093 receive the same treatment? Also, is it possible/advisable to give the whole subject in one go? Full A level. I entered privately...

    A-Levels Equivalence

    Hi, my A level grades were 2 A*s, 4 A's, 3 B's. And my AS level grades are A, C, C (in physics, chem and maths respectively). Should I retake? What will be my equivalence if I manage to get A*, A*(English Language 9093), B, B in full A levels? Will it be good? (Also, is it doable? I think I can...

    Help regarding procedure of A Levels

    Hi! Almost all the subjects in A levels have 2 levels of qualification: Advanced subsidiary Level and Advanced Level. They may have decided to not study a certain subject to full A level. I also did the same thing with Biology, I chose not to continue it to A levels since past O levels I'm...

    Nope. I basically attempted the practical papers by attempting two or three past papers at a tuition center lab, listening intently to a friend explaining the procedures, watching youtube videos, etc. And I did more for practicals(but not in the lab for obvious reasons) since I was worried. In...

    A'level private studies guidance?

    I definitely think if you were forced to take subjects you didn't want to, you'll suffer a bit. But I think it has benefits to know why. A lot of us have trouble in such subjects because previous difficulty compounds when you approach more advanced topics(knowledge is like a a house of cards, if...

    A'level private studies guidance?

    I'm terribly terribly sorry about my late response. I'm now giving my A2's. And to the person who asked, sadly, no, I'm not regiving the ones I recieved a C in. Like I mentioned, I knew that I wouldn't get that chance when I started so its easier to accept, I guess. I just hope I can make them...

    Paper Recheck

    Hell, I got a B in urdu back then and I could barely read. You should note the name of the syllabus is "Second Language Urdu". CIE judges your proficiency from the point of view that you DIDN'T grow up with it, and learned it in your 3 years in o levels. By that criteria, its not hard to get an...

    What is the best path ?

    Seriously, any decisions you make now will be really superficial. Nobody knows what they want to do this early, and many who just set their sights on one thing often regret it later. Don't sweat it right now. Finish your O levels, and from there, look at your strong points. Then have a vague...

    CAREER COUNSELLING

    Hmm... is it advisable to go for an ISSB based scholarship and join an army training program through a university like NUST if you can qualify? I ask because the minimum you'd have to serve without paying penalty is 10-15 years in the military. Any people who are taking this approach? My...

    A'level private studies guidance?

    Hi, I'm a student who just finished doing the exact same thing you're describing. I can offer my experience and what I learned and I'll try to present it free from any bias if it helps you in making your decision. People who are not giving their papers on their own may find this helpful too. A...

    top careers in future?

    Hey, maybe 20 years from now they'll be able to make deft enough robots and surgeons will be more or less unemployed. There are already driverless cars, and robotic arms that do all sorts of variable repair work(all automatic) in minute circuits and even large machines.

    RETAKES AS LEVEL

    Also, I want to add my own little question to the original post; before I decide on a retake... can someone tell me honestly(but gently pls) if its possible to go from a C in your AS level to an A overall? I got less than my desired result, I'm confused as hell on how I got a C(I really really...

    Phy - A Maths - C Chem - C :( I'm so confused what went wrong with Chem. I thought that was my best paper... I screwed up in maths, I knew that but I thought chem went well... I really really was confident in that. I feel awful...like stones in my heart. EDIT: If anybody cares to learn from...

    Missed the Candidate Number

    the automatic sorting and checking system at CIE(which depends on those shaded numbers) will probably return an error at your paper and mark it for manual review, someone will probably shade in those numbers and reinsert into the papers to be checked. Dont worry, im sure CIE wont take this as...

    How was Physics/12 paper?

    I was scoring 32-36 on past papers consistently but this one... I'm so disappointed. Really was abnormally hard compared to past papers. Time was an issue, and some of the questions were quite confusing... Correct me if im wrong but GT for A's rarely go below 32, right? is there any example of...
