How can i forget , when i will lose about 15 marks???? Plz pray for me dude...

 

[ZohaibAsad]

To get an A* after losing 15 marks on p1 in maths you will need to have a close to almost perfect p2. What I meant was that maths papers have a really high A* often close to a real or more than a 90% raw mark

What about science papers? Looking at IGCSE grade thresholds, the average actual % required for an A* is around 75 to 80 %. Is this also likely for O levels?

 

[ZohaibAsad]

Yep, science papers are in the range 76-85ish for A*s.

zohaib may be this may/june 2012 gradethreshold would have been high,so that whats making me think that 80 was A maybe,as i gave these may 2012 paper and they were easier than previous years and secondly according to your exprience what is the percentage of A grade each year on an average.
Thementor i live in pakistan.

from my personal experience and after talking to a few teachers......is that in may june the papers are easy...and the grade therehold is a little high....while in october november the papers are difficult i.e grade thereshold are a little low..
