    No, I don't think the change will be too big, the paper was very similar to the past papers. @ rafae, Inshallah :)

    The grade thresholds range mostly from 59-ish to 60-something ish... So, I think it would be reasonable, as haochen said, to be around 60's to get an A...

    0580 Maths Discussion

    No, they also see the performance of the students. If, let's say, the average was 60's, how can they put the threshold for A up to 65 or 67..? That's not achievable. They acknowledge the student performances as a whole, because these exams are being done on a huge scale, the whole world is...

    0580 Maths Discussion

    The grade thresholds can't be more than 1 or 2 marks higher/lower than before. Like, I don't think they'll suddenly shift the A grade up to a 67 or something, cuz that is tough. But, compared to previous years, the paper was relatively easy. Now, depending on the candidates' performance. If...

    English(0500)

    Basically, those are the three main questions. However, personally, I alternate responses, to make it sound more realistic...and adds more "flavor" :) Adding in a couple of q's that should motivate and initiate the response, aiding in the answering of the main question. E.g. 3 Questions may...

    maths paper 4

    http://www.cambridgestudents.org.uk/subjectpages/maths/igcsemaths/ This site has the revision checklist as well as examiner tips. Go through that, hopefully it'll help. From my experience:- Since maths Paper 4 weighs 65%, which is a considerable amount of marks, and Paper 2 weighs 35%, which...

    IGCSE Buisness studies?

    They don't decide the grade boundaries until after the exams. They take into consideration the performance of candidates, how hard/easy the paper was, statistical evidence and the expertise of examiners, before deciding grade boundaries. To get an idea of the grade boundaries, go the section...

    brunei dollars or euro in math p2 mj 2011

    I understand your logic on the money one, it was kind of tricky, after the exam, 2 of us were saying dollars, the other two were saying euros :P It never said to write 2, that was the problem, but it was two marks. The answer space seemed to indicate one answer only.. Another confusion :s...

    brunei dollars or euro in math p2 mj 2011

    I got that too, but I thought it should be 4^2x+2 ... And last moment thinking, I crossed it out, so I don't know what they'll understand. Working out will at least give some marks *shrugs* There were a few mind-boggling, twisting q's :/

    brunei dollars or euro in math p2 mj 2011

    About the money thing, what I thought was... The meal costs 6 euros and $11.5 (they should be linked through an exchange rate, too, I think, as far as my logic is concerned :P...) When you apply the exchange rate... Changing 6e to $ you get 11.4 Changing $11.5 to e you get 6.04 So, 6.04 euros...

    brunei dollars or euro in math p2 mj 2011

    I also chose Brunei dollars but I'm not sure. When I changed 6e according to the exchange rate, I got $11.4 When I changed dollars into the exchange rate, I got 6.04e. So, I thought dollars was cheaper then, than the original price. As for the closing time, I think it was 17 00.

    Let's all, predict the Math Paper 2 (0580)

    It was good, except for a few silly mistakes like not changing cm into m; there was some confusion of the Brunei Dollars and Euros (what did you get?) and then the functions question, I got kinda double-minded in that... Other than that, Alhamdullilah, it was good :)
