assuming you got
the english mark is out of 100

so (64/84 x70)+(32/36 x 30) = 79.9 or 80

so you got an A bro according to o/n 2011 check other curves and see this year might be low :)

don't worry man not everyone who says they did good it is true and besides some people think of good is " 50/80" which is bad for me :) .. and looking at our papers the paper was more difficult than other papers :)

and actually there are people who LIE about there grades and there ANSWERS so like all the other years this will be LOW

If you do get 154/180 yeah that's an A* regardless if the curve was a bit higher
I averaged around 156-158/180 last year when I calculated how many marks I lost in chemistry
and still pulled off an A*
Just concentrate on P1, you're still in this game buddy =P

hah i got B in paper 1 Bio and still got A* thank God :p But im pretty sure i aced my paper 3-6
do u know the % for an A* last year? because its not the same as the one on xtremepapers. like last year i got 78% in maths and got a B but on according to the grade boundaries on xtremepapers i got an A :O so what was an A* for bio last year?

Well, I have been reviewing quite a lot of threads and come to an opinion that these thresholds are not true... :cry:.. I mean I am not sure, it would not be professional to mislead us with incorrect grade thresholds that some what put us at ease... Obviously the CIE is one of the most reputed exam center and shall not do so... but...(n)... I myself am completely dependent on the GT... Someone who is absolutely certain of what's right, PLEASE REPLY :(

what i think is the grade thresholds is what cie think an A should be then they see how well people did in that year recalculate the curve...but this is only my theory...
