I forgot to write the state symbols for the ionic equation x_x was it a 2 marks question?

yep it was and you'll lose 1 as a result

 

[Muhammad Saad :)]

It went awesome.......alhough they did amend the question about the british control(1750-18500 by the way wht u wrote in that

That was a straight forward pastpaper question.
1-british captured many rich areas like bengal and bihar
2-british placed governors in these areas trained on british lines
3-british had modern weapons..
hope l answred

 

[Muhammad Saad :)]

for history, What did Marathas did?? what u all wrote?

l wrote they were a constant threat to mughals.they defeated mughals in 1737 just outside delhi thr capital and in the following year captured an important town of malwa.they almost emptied the mughal treasury and were the reasons of thr decline.. hope l answred

 

[Muhammad Saad :)]

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

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

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.

Can it be higher than 90 like at 95% and at 90% thr would be A?can u guess this years thresholds for intial 3 subjects?

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.

I am gonna say good .....a little different from past papers....... but overall yeah it wasssssss amazing!!!!

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 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
