Hi . Hope everything is going well with you . I am still awaiting my O'level results coming in around 5 days !
What subjects do you think will be re-adjusted in terms of marks !
Like if an A mark is 80 , some subjects may be reduced to 74 for an A .

me too awaiting my O level result
it depends on the difficulty of the paper which influences the percentile
for example, an easy paper for most of the candidates will give a high percentile, thus to get an A u might need 85 or any other no above 80
but for a difficult paper, the percentile will be lower, thus in order to get an A u might need 75 or any other no. less than 80

If a paper is difficult the thresholds will be lowered using statistical evidence. If a paper is easier the thresholds are raised.
For example if in November 2013 the Additional Mathematics Olevel examination was slightly more difficult than the June 2013 Examination so the thereshold may be lowered. But comparisions will be made with previous examination sessions in order to finally agree on a thereshold.
So sometimes for an A the thereshold can be as high as 90% or as low as 76-79%
In Olevels the theresholds for A* do not drop as low as 70-75% like they do in Alevels.

Although it has rarely happened that A stood at 74%. 76-77% is usually the minimum.
In any case. Good Luck for your results.

Thank you a lot .
Just one last question if for example , the thresholds are increased or decreased for the mark A , will mark B be affected ?
