No.Its only after the examination they deside on the curve.But im pretty sure the curve will be low because of some people(infact alot)didnt do well in paper 4

You know, it wasnt very very hard, there was only a couple of questions that were complicated like the sequence question (last one) but overall the exam was modurate. I think it won't be low.

Nobody can say with 100% certainty what the thresholds will be until the papers are released in August. All we can do is guess.

u cant exactly predict ur grade, it depends on the difficulty of the paper and the overall threshold. But do pray and hope for the best :)

Ok just to inform u, we had a small meeting with Cambridge people who enlightened us about the curve thing. The curve still exists and a good news is that now A* is based on the curve as well which was not the case with the previous years. So if u think u should get A you can probably get A*. As for Math the average threshold was 58/70 for P2 which was quite good but this year we are expecting it to be something like 60 not more than that as there is always slight difference. As for Paper 2 as it was kind of tricky compared to 2010, the grades can fall to 95/130 an A. Remember there is no A* at indivisual component so even if you did bad in P4 but really good in P2 and this gives u a really high comulative than u can easily achieve A*.
