[jafar]

80% 4 A nd 90% 4 A*, i aint sure though...

 

[PlanetMaster]

Grade A* - 80%+ overall plus 90%+ in A2 units
Grade A - 80%+
Grade B - 70% - 79%
Grade C - 60% - 69%
Grade D - 50% - 59%
Grade E - 40% - 49%

i once herad that for languages u need 75% to get an A...isnt it???

 

[PlanetMaster]

No.
My post above applies to all subjects.

 

[UxaiR]

Grade A* - 80%+ overall plus 90%+ in A2 units

what does this mean ?

 

[Sijan92]

People u r wrong. Probably itsa misconception that 80 plus is A. In cambridge A is generally based around 70%. If you dont believe you can go and download the grade threshold.

 

[PlanetMaster]

Now that's more confusing (to other members).
Grade threshold is based upon paper's difficulty level and average response from candidate's.
The grading system is upon percentage of that threshold so its an A on 80% but doesn't needs to be 80% of total marks.
Clear?

 

[fh1992]

clear...thnks a lot...

 

[Sijan92]

Oh my god..my english exam was preety bad..worst was the comprehension. I made so silly mistakes like tailed off-changed,tension-worry..and to my stupidy i left out the last question because i overlooked it. Please people pray for me. Its only prayers that can now make me grab an A.

[Sijan92]

0k then what is the minimum percentage of the total marks that is required to get an A? I know it fluctuates over the years ( depending on the candidates around) but in what percentage of the total marks A is generally based around in english?

 

[Zohaib Sherazi]

80-85

 

[Zishi]

80-85

Oh, just one correction has to be made in it. it's from 80 to 90. Well, have you got the mail from CIE? Everything about marking has been explained in that.

 

[Zohaib Sherazi]

Thats the range of average fluctuation. Not the value of A.
