I've noticed that the gt for sciences vary
Like if you give full A level at one time, you need like above 200 get an A* while to get an A* when you've given AS previously it is like 180..
So does anyone know why this is?
And also the new gt says options like 42,52,66 and 42,52,67
I understand that these mean given AS previously but which one is which
As in is 66 for AS given in winter and 67 for AS given in summer or vice versa??

You got me really worrying for a moment.
So the Combo e.g
For Full alevel sciences is 12+22+33+42+52
taking chemistry for example
A grade marks for components in summer 15 were: 12=28/40, 22=45/60 , 34=28/40, 42=65/100, 52=20/30
So A grade was at 179/260 i.e 68.89%
A garde marks for components in summer 14 were: 12=28/40, 22=36/60 , 34=25/40, 42=73/100, 52=18/30
So A grade was at 173/260 i.e 66.54%
For As students an A grade in 2014 was at 82/130 and in 2015 it was 91/130 (2015)
From this we can see exam was difficult in 2014 and gt as low
so It is not unfair marking for the full Alevel student it really depends on the difficulty level of that year or from the previous year depends on how you gave
Don't really stress yourself on marking system,cie has its own style and it is not unfair.
66=Last year summer
67=Last year winter
