[David Hussey]

i think these changes would be beneficial for us coz most likely thresholds will be lower, right?

yeah but for you to meet the threshold you need to understand the questions

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, "The Cambridge plan would rule out major changes UNTIL 2017…"

This statement means Cambridge will make MINOR CHANGES in all exams 2014-2017. FROM 2017 ONWARDS, MAJOR changes will be made.

i think we should do specimen papers also'

The chemistry data booklet changed? What were the changes? I didn't notice...

 

[omaaaar]

Chemistry P2 was really very easy made some silly errors otherwise it was a piece of cake

Maths P1 was comparatively difficult hope maths threshold is lower than previous years

 

[Oishee Asif]

I hope Chem P4 is easy too =___=

 

[Nadir Munir]

Apparently there's been a new exam format for Maths P1, and for Bio P2, some "new" type of questions have been asked?

Were any of us told that the exams would be this different to the past papers? Was I misinformed?

Are A2 exams gonna suffer with "different" formats too?

Were u told exam will be same as past papers or was it told exam will be from slyb.

 

[Oishee Asif]

Were u told exam will be same as past papers or was it told exam will be from slyb.

The exams are now designed to test your knowledge of the SYLLABUS rather than memorising mark schemes of the past. New questions that've never been asked before have shown up.
Just make sure you know your syllabus, and what it wants from you.

Every board has grade thresholds. CIE has separate PAPER thresholds.


I can show you some links, if you want proof. Take my word. We have thresholds for CIE, which CHANGE every year according to DIFFERENT papers.
