CIE Physics 0625 s12 - Im confused

[Mu'taz Al-Momani]

I searched all over the internet for the june 2012 grade boundaries/targets, I finally found them.

But they didn't make sense (to me), I mean it says that you need 142 out of 200 for an A*, is that possible, it's a bit low, I just need someone to confirm it, because i thought an A* would need more than that.

Can anyone reply as soon as possible, my exam is in 4 days. oh and im taking the cx (11,31,61) and I did multiple 31 papers and i get an average of 69-75 out of 80, would that be a good build up for an overall A*.

the grade boundaries are different each year depending how well people around the world did. so if a lot of people get really high grades then the grade boundaries would be high. so in 2012 most people did bad and that is why the boundaries are low

ok thanks, but i mean the total for the three papers is 160 marks, and this 142 is out of 200, is there a formula for conversion or is it just straight up percentage?
