Math A* Expectations

[ThisMeansWar]

The thing is, I have NO idea how many marks i can possibly lose in P4, i think about 15 marks lost is A LOT for me. P2 alhamdulillah was pretty good, but i might lose 5-7 marks in that as well. I just really really hope to get an A* inshaAllah.

v2

previous year's ppr 4 was really easy which covers most of the marks as u know, so this time it will be lower inshAllah

Well If the CIE started giving A* at 160 the papers will be useless as the standards will drop. Don't compare our paper to other years as they have also go really hard papers like 2007 2003 and 2000. But the thresholds still that time were 172 not less than that. So don't expect 160.

Yeah but using oct/nov to compare is risky at times, due to the fact that you don't really know who writes them. May/June is for actual schools that's when they do exams. A majority of oct/nov candidates are external students

Have a look at some of those papers where the threshold was in the 160's and compare them to the exam we did please. Then try your best to predict
