I am in KSA....what abt me?? can i get a bit of help from any other time zone member?

 

[PlanetMaster]

Discussing anything about paper leak is against 'XPF Rules'.
CIE is using GMT for examinations so there is no time difference.

 

[arabiannight975]

So like zone 3 means +3 gmt??

and ya it says they changed something in the zone 3 timetable which is they have red marked the PHYSICS P1 on 26th may....but i dont know whats changed in it...any idea? cuz thats the only exam which has a time clash with Computer P1

 

[PlanetMaster]

Zone 3 doesn't means +3 GMT :!:
Every country will be given a local time for an exam which will be on a same GMT time.

 

[arabiannight975]

BUt can you plz tell me which zone my country lies in cuz the encrypted link is blocked for me....so tell me which zone is SAUDI ARBIA in and what changes have they made?

 

[PlanetMaster]

'Saudi Arabia' lies under 'Zone 3'.

Oh WOW. So CIE allocates the timetable so that everybody in different zone will be doing exams at the same time?
Then why do they release First and Second variant question paper?

 

[PlanetMaster]

Variants are used for countries with large time differences.
For instance you have a paper at 9 in the morning.
Then candidates in countries with like 12 hours difference will have to give that paper at 9pm.
Think!

But there are actually papers wich have only one variant .. what about them?
