P2-Max-70/75
P4-Max-28/30
P1- Max-35-36/40
So total: 133-134/145

which is good enough and to everyone else who has calculated 134
My prediction about a grade thereshold has never turned out to be wrong...So I am gonna say that thereshold will be 89-90% for A* of the raw mark while for A 80-81%......
How do u know about grade thresholds,they aren't published:eek:

experience.....and practice in calculation......I initially used IGCSE as a model.....but then my teacher told me how it is actually determined.

Insha ALLAH. :)
Please pray for me. My chances in Physics are bleak. Especially after P1 (mostly) and 1 question in P2.

I am praying for everyone...yeah P1 was tough....Question 1 in P2, you found it difficult...wierd?

Not question 1. 1 question! The conducting wires one. And I didn't find it difficult. It was just me, being naive. I knew the things inside out. Just my immaturity to read and understand the questions properly lead to the mistakes. Oh, why am I so gullible. :(

So how r u sure that they are different from IGCSE?
They've got similar syllabus, similar papers and similar standard. And A-Levels has also similar so why is O-Levels different in thresholding?

IGCSE is much much easier than Olevels in general.......and not only me....99% of the people I asked, even a CIE representative, they also said that IGCSE is much easier than Olevels...that is why the thereshold is difficult

It isn't much but IGCSE's have very low thresholds when compared to O'levels. The reason is that IGCSE is taken globally with students from various countries who may or may not perform well enough.

I've got ATLEAST 5 MCQs wrong.3-4 in p2 (didn't check much:p) ATP was almost flawless:)
So just mark 130 for me MAX as I'm never ever going to get those questions in p2 right.

Same here. Around 130 which is the very edge of an A*.

If its easier then shouldn't the thresholds be higher?
