    How did everyone find Biology paper 31?

    Cornea, blood clotting and phagocytes are part of the syllabus but the correlation between blood clotting and phagocytes/antibodies isn't in the syllabus and the lack of blood in cornea isn't in the syllabus. The DNA question also asked us for something that isn't part of the syllabus. Those...

    How did everyone find Biology paper 31?

    Well not everyone is a genius, the minimum mark is based on a curve. If you don't believe me, look at the grade thresholds/mark scheme yourself. Look: http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge%20IGCSE/Biology%20%280610%29/0610_s11_gt.pdf...

    0510 English P21

    Pretty low, an A* was 80%. In the Nov 2011 it got higher (A* was 83%). I think that this year's curve will be low because the paper is harder, so probably 79%-80%.

    Do we lose all marks for forgetting paragraphts in english paper 2?

    I used indented paragraphs in the letter, but then crossed out the things I wrote in the spaces between the intended paragraph so it looks I haven't used any paragraphs in the letter question. Do we lose all of the marks for for that question not using a clear paragraph? Does anyone know? My...

    English Paper 21... one single question.??

    Both. The article was supposed to be about your opinion, just your opinion. The project was about the ups and downs of use of cars, but the article was supposed to be just your opinion. So if you wanted to argue against it, list all of the negative points. If you were unsure, list both positive...

    How did everyone find Biology paper 31?

    The grade boundaries for an A haven't been a 50/80 since 2005. Even in June 2010, when paper 3 was SUPER easy, the grade boundaries were still 40 something out of 80. I think that the grade boundaries for paper 3 will be the same as last year because a lot of people found the paper extremely...

    How did everyone find Biology paper 31?

    An A* last year was 67% and an A was 56% so you can lose 66 marks in all three papers. Look at the grade thresholds of Summer 2011 (http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge IGCSE/Biology (0610)/0610_s11_gt.pdf). The maximum total mark for the CIE IGCSE biology syllabus is 200. An A* is...

    i am scared for biology paper 31 :'(

    Paper 31 was OK, slightly harder than last year's variant paper 31. It had a few unexpected/unpredictable topics, and a notable number of questions worth large marks (5-6 marks) weren't part of the syllabus. Everyone who complained about last year's paper 31 should be thankful that they got such...

    Finished the bio p.31!!!

    And because Biology is a million times harder than Chemistry and Physics, because it's so unpredictable when it comes to paper 3. Some of the questions aren't even in the syllabus.
