to be accurate you can loose 14 marks to get a RAW MARK of 90%...A raw mark dosent guarantee you an A*..........the A* can even stand at 92% or any other percentage....but that depends on the grade thereshold of that session :p

what is grade thereshold?plz explain in detail in easy language maybe in urdu in english...:confused:

When you give the CIE papers, the paper may be easy or it may be hard. So, to account for that, CIE takes a cumulative boundary for the grades. Which means that the grades are not at 90, 80, 70. They are lower or higher according to the paper. For example, if a lot of people did the Chemistry paper well and get 90+, the thresholds are likely to be above 90, the thresholds, in short, are the boundaries for grades (A*, A, B, ...) set according to the paper.

It can be high. It can go up to 94 %! It's not necessary that the thresholds for A and A* are at a defined distant boundary, in fact the threshold for A* depends on the threshold for A and C.
3 Subjects? I can't say anything for English. As far as Chemistry is concerned, I believe it will be from 88-92 for A*.

How was everyone's Maths paper 1? (Just say if it was good or bad, don't mention anything specifically.) I know I lost 2 marks but I'm pretty sure about everything else, so hopefully, 78/80 for me. :)

The questions were really tricky..especially the one from the electromagnetic spectrum. I mean that asnt even in our syllabus, but fortunately I got that right :p I don't think it went awesome tho. The people from my school were screaming out this answer & I'm wondering if its question was actually in the question paper, cause I didn't get that particular answer for any of my questions...I'll divulge it tomorrow :p
