You can get an A* in GCE too you know, with a little extra effort. After all we had 3/2 years to prepare this and we should be perfect in it rightnow

So, how well prepared you are for tomorrow xD
How many marks do you get while practicing p2s

 

[Hanzalla]

It's not about battles lol
I just don't get it why some schools are so stupid in
Pakistan that they don't let us do igcse instead of gce..
I mean after all, its very easy to get a* in igcse..
I hope in future, gce will end for our juniors..

This is just one point of view but look on the bright side, it is said that some Universities prefer GCE students because of GCE's hardness

 

[Muzammil ahmad]

Both are looked equally by universities xD
..
Anyway, may we all get a*s somehow :'3

I'm Going to find out right now, I was just checking one that I attempted.
While practicing in the past I always got an average of 68/69 lowest being 65 and highest being 72

The main problem is when you know your cousins gave IGCSEs and they ended up with better grades then you. And this GCE/IGCSE logic is not understood by others xD

 

[Muzammil ahmad]

Wow..
Same here
Chemistry p2 has same questions every year..
It is the easiest paper..

 

[Muzammil ahmad]

Btw, I was surprised after going in the exam center and finding out
How less gce students have become compared with igcse ones xD
I guess, they win

Actually GCE is waaaaayyyyy old like 1951 old
Even when I told my cousins who are in Qatar, They were like 'Isnt OLEVELS what the cavemen used to do'
So more and more schools are shifting towards IGCSE

 

[Muzammil ahmad]

I guess for improving their reputation xD
Their students get grades easily , right?
XD

We Should make another page for IGCSE/GCSE/OLEVELS Battles lol

Lol

Uggh no,Dont take IGCSE so light.Its grades threshold and result statistics are low becasuse our course is harder as well. And your grades threshold is harder because your course is easier.So both of the courses balance.
The achievement of good grades is same for both the courses! It just depends on the candidate,s preperation.
So END OF TOPIC!

Are you talking about paper 2 of chemistry out of 80?

 

[Muzammil ahmad]

Out of 75*

I solved igcse papers.. easiest questions compared with olevels

Yeah , end the topic..
In the end grades matter

guys for p41 in summer 2016 paper chemistry
for thee last qn is it wrong if we write fats instead of terylene
and for 5a source of sulfur i wrote volcanoes yet in the ms its only fossilfuels containg sulfur
and for 5b instead of mentioning equillibrium is it okay if we mention the reaction with the equillibrium sign
and in in 4b instead of nickel sulfate i wrote nickel nitrate since its soluble but thats not in the ms

Yea i sorta made the same mistakes
But if you look at the first page of the mark scheme it says that the examiners discussed the acceptability of alternate answers and the ms is just for student/teacher reference
So i guess if your answer is scientifically accurate you should get marks, so Good luck
Im writing my Chem p4 tmrw

Me too

By the way guys!
Did you hear that the timing of paper tomorrow has been changed
First it was 3 now it is 1:30

they r just calling us early because there r some 600 or so candidates and its hard for them to manage
