Anyone know how to calculate your mark in mathematics extended?
I know my marks cuz of my mistakes . I had papers 22 and 42 and the curve is 176/260 to get an A* in the previous year. So i add up both of my expected marks and multiply them by 260 then divide it by 200(130+70; which is the total mark)
Is that right? If yes then i scored an A*
Please reply. And btw i got 147/200 so its 191/260
You don't need to multiply by 260. Just add the two marks together and that's your final mark.

notnek01 I know you said you won't answer questions like this, but what do you think the grade threshold for A* will be this year. Considering the difficulty level of our paper 42. Perhaps 170? Kindly predict

in the last question u should have divided 360 by 18.4 which would have given 19.5 something then the last triangle was N-1 = 19 and so 20-1=19 and so the answer is 20

sir are those old papers beneficial?
from wher do we start?

The only thing needed to improve in maths is lots of practise. Once you have covered all the topics, practise as much as you can. Yes, past papers are very helpful as you get the exact idea of the paper pattern along with practise. Solve as many past papers as you can in this time available but do solve at least 8-10 years.
Good Luck for your exam!

the GT is usually very high, irrespective of the difficulty level! do well and pray you get a good grade :)

High? No, it is not. One can find it high if compared with other subjects. But generally, it is not that high.

I was the only candidate who got an A* in my academy. My advice for u would be to practice as many papers as u can. Focus on the recent ones though. Write each and every step as each step helps you score marks and think carefully before solving the logic questions :)

what ur saying is actually true, but in may/june 2012, the exam was way easier than our exam and the A* = 174/200, so what do u expect it to be??? + most of the people said in the voting thing above that is either very hard or hard !!! Many people even think that the A* might be 160/200 this year but who knows !!!!!

Thanks but the grade threshold actually depends on the overall performance of everyone who wrote that variant which is related to the difficulty level
