The grading system will remain the same as it was and has always been! There is just the difference that now, you won't be given the percentages on your statement of result like in May/June 2010.
There will always be percentile, because CIE cannot possibly give everyone's paper an individual grade, thereby a percentile system is created and your paper marks are traced on to their percentile curve or whatever. If you fit in the A* category, you get that grade. It's as simple as that. Just do your paper the best you can and don't worry about the rest. You will surely get marks you deserve.

r u sure? i mean abt ds percentile issue? does dt increase r chances of gettin an A*?
oh God im so tense!

Aleezay, it doesn't make anything easier or harder. Furthermore, it doesn't increase or decrease the chance of getting an A*.
The requirements will remain the same as they have always been.
Are you giving your papers for the first time? If you are, I had the same tensions as you guys. But after I gave papers, my confidence grew and now I just realise that you only have to focus on your OWN paper and forget about the grading policies. Your own efforts will be a measure of how well you do and what grade you get.
So don't get tense about these minute details! They won't in any way affect how your paper is marked. Just go do your best!
