Alhamdolillah i got Eight A *s and one A in Urdu
This was exactly wat i was praying and aiming for..Allah surely answers all prayers

“And your Lord says: Call on Me; I will answer your (prayer). But those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell-in humiliation.” ( 40: 60)

Can you please tell us how you studied for the IGCSE? I'll be doing my IG's on May/June 2013 and I'm quite scared for it especially chemistry.

To be perfectly honest, I crammed Business 3 days prior to the exam, so I suppose I really didn't deserve to get an A* in it, regardless of how heartrending it was to see. As for the rest of my results (especially in sciences), my advice (although I've nary a doubt that you've heard this before) is to do past papers. In my subjective opinion past papers>memorizing notes. You will notice a pattern in the style of questions in most papers of many subject. Albeit for English, I was already fairly proficient in it, given that it's my main and first language. I was dreading my English Literature results, however, as I shall so crudely put it "screwed up majorly" in the poetry section. My prose response was sufficient to compensate though... thank God. Mandarin is well....Mandarin (meaning that I was lucky to get an easy writing paper :D). But generally for MFL's, what you'll want to do is memorize vocabulary and sentence structures and MOST IMPORTANTLY have several paragraphs which are ambiguous enough to fit any situation as well as reflect your wide range of vocabulary and superior command of the language.

Note: I crammed Economics too, which I suppose explains the borderline 90.

Hey!
Today is the day, its August 13th, 1:07 AM. Results shall be online in few hours!
I believe this can be the official discussion thread, where you can post your results ( if you're okay with it) against your expectations, your thoughts, are you happy or sad, where you think you did okay/bad and all that kind of chiz!
so cross your fingers, good luck everyone, and try not to faint!
i know i will be on here , and i know this site will be live tomorrow!
cant wait to see what you guys think ect!
Good luck, may the Stars be forever in your favour!

Hello there, i dont think handwriting is an issue as long as it can be read and understood! I honestly have the worst hand writing in my class, teachers barely inderstood, but i got all A and A* in my papers! Plus, how did you know its 137//200 ? the threshold didnt come out yet!
