Hi guys, in the grading threshold, if the A* in Biology is 150, is it 150/160, or 150/200, since it always says the maximum total mark for this syllabus is 200. But since paper 1,3,and 6 add up to 160, I don't know which one is correct, 150/160, or 150/200

its 150/200. they add up to 200 because each paper affects a different percentage. papaer1- 30% paper3-50% paper6-20% so you may get an A in paper 1and 6 but if you get a C-D in papaer3 then your overall will be most probably C

the grade thresholds are determined by the answers of the students to the exam. so the grade thresholds for 2014 will be out after the exam. however, if u need them for 2013 or something, then i can give you those. but i dont think for 2014 they are out yet...

see what they do is that after checking all the papers, they set standards. so if for example alot of people were easily able to achieve a certain mark, they might keep tht mark as an A or a B. if the thresholds r increasing, tht means the paper was relatively easy, so alot of people were able to reach a high mark and hence the examiners set tht high mark as an A or an A*. if the threshold is decreasing, tht means tht the paper was relatively harder and a lot of people only managed to achieved lower marks. hence the examiners set this low mark as an A or an A*. it all depends on the exams done by the students. atleast thats wat ive heard everyone, even our teachers, say :p
