bro, for bio and physics, [pp6 maarks + pr3 marks *1.25 + paper 1 marks * 1.5] to get ur marks out of 200
for chem, paper 6 is out of 60. convert that out of 40. then calculate ur mark like how u calculate for physics and bio, as i mentioned b4
All the scores are 200, but in the papers it adds up to 160. So, simply multiply 1.25 X 160 to get 200. I will ask my teacher today about this case, she may explain more about it to me.

well yeah , bt i think this year losing 30 marks is getting A* not 50 marks !!! Since the exam was extremely easy ( i mean for paper 61) while paper 31 it was hard so maybe the curve will be much less than the last year ! Any howw , physics always have low curve soo relax !!!

chem and physics have alwys been below 150/200 as an A*... so even a slight increase wont affect our grades

Guys, you are all COMPLETELY wrong.

That's not how you calculate the marks out of 200.

For maths, you add up the 2 marks from paper 2 and 4 to get your overall out of 200, BUT for the sciences, here's how it goes:

For paper 1, it counts for 30%, so you convert your mark out of 40, to out of 60, And for paper 6, it's for 20%, so it's out 40, that means in bio and physics you just add your mark, while for chemistry you have to convert it from 60 to 40, and paper 3 counts for 50%, so your mark out of 80, convert it to out of 100, and add up those marks :)

Hope this helps.

thats wht i said... instead of converting the whole hing, for phy and bio, its [ paper6 marks + paper 1*1.5 +paper 3* 1.25 ]
for chem conver the paper 6 marks form 60 to 40 and the use the thing as before..^
for math just add ur marks, to get the marks out of 200
