Distinctions in May/June 2011 Examinations

[mujtabashahnawaz]

When and from where we can know about distinctions of May/June 2011 exam?

 

[abcde]

Most probably in January 2012 after the October/November session 2011.

 

[Silent Hunter]

of both january 2011 and may 2011 ??

 

[abcde]

^Yes, for the entire year 2011 (that means both exam sessions - May/Jun and Oct/Nov).

 

[mujtabashahnawaz]

Distinctions come for the whole year? or just one session?

 

[abcde]

The entire year. Candidates who appear in October/November session are not awarded distinctions unless the subject is only offered in November e.g. Statistics. So even if you have a 100% in, for instance, Add Maths in November, it is unfortunately not a distinction and therefore not mentioned.

Isn't that unfair ? I mean they might have done better than the June ones & November session papers are usually harder than the June ones !! I seriously didn't know this...CIE is damn unfair ! :evil: :x

 

[abcde]

That's policy. 'November session papers are harder' is just an opinion.

 

[VelaneDeBeaute]

But even then ! Awarding no distinctions to November candidates ! Hey did no one ever from the whole world voice against this ? :^)

 

[abcde]

You are doing that. Count me in!

 

[mujtabashahnawaz]

[VelaneDeBeaute]

does it apply only to resit candidates or all???????

 

[abcde]

^All candidates. They have this policy on the basis that the Oct/Nov session is a session for candidates who wish to resit for their exams.

 

[Lyfroker]

but not all the students will be resitting ...............this is so unfair!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Silent Hunter]

Thanks everyone I am hoping for a distinction in Physics! Please pray for me

best of luck

 

[beeloooo]

does that apply to combined sciences aswell >???

 

[aqsasaleem23]

yes, if combined sciences is offered in November only.
If also in May/June, then no distinction for November students.
