Grade threshold calculation ??

[RaneemI]

I really want to know how the igcse grade threshold are calculated
i've always thought that its the percentage you get and compare it with the curve , However starting from june2011 the gt document for each paper gave u the minimum for an A grade in each component and THEN a table with the minimum total marks you have to get in order to get an A*, A etc
-Then its said that they multiply the marks of each paper by a factor as the total marks mark for the whole subject is different

for eg :BIOLOGY : 40 marks P6 ,80 marks P3 & 40 for P1 which adds up to 160
and the table states total for thiss subject as 200 & this is where some ppl stated each component is multiplied by a factor
P1*1.25 , P6*1 & P3*1.5

Can someone help me plzz ?? this is confusiiiiing
Thank You

I have no idea how this works, and I don't think any one needs to know.
Just wait for your report card, and hope it's filled with A's and stars x)

its pretty simple math paper 6 = 20% of the mark and paepr 1 is 30 % and paper 3 is 50% so convert paper 6 to 20 and paper 1 to out of 30 and paper 3 to out of 50 multiply it by 2 you get your mark out of 200
Now To Get An A you must get An A in every paper the minimum grade required for An A in the papers combined gives you the mark you need out of 200 to get an A now the difference between A and B add it to A it gives you the total mark you need for A* to get the mark of a b find the mark needed for a c and an A out of 200 add them together and divide them by glad to help

english is paper 4 out of 36 convert it to 30 and paper writing forgot the numbero ut of 84 convert it to 70 and keep it out of 100 since the thereshold is given for a 100
in the syllabus they always write the weight of each paper like 70% or 30% or 15% ...etc
