hmmm...Hopefully the grade thresholds will be low. If its more than 55 for an A, it will be unfair.
Click to expand...

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 they messed up and made silly mistakes, lol, then the threshold will be lower...

It shouldn't be as hard to get an A this year than it was in previous years; they try to keep it was fair as possible.

Hope for the best, Inshallah :)

But i think they depend on the paper not the student
if the paper is easier the threshold will be higher and if it is harder it will be lower.
the more the student mess up the lower their grade will be :D

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 practically doing them :)

*shrugs*

Inshallah, hope for the best :)
