Grade thresholds are not fixed! They vary from paper to paper depending on their difficulty and students performance, In june 2009 , the grade threshold for A grade in english was 69 out of 100

And yes, there is a great chance that he will penalise you because some marks are allocated for the format.

I just found Grade Thresholds for Pakistan Studies in the Summer 2004 Mark Scheme (2059_s04_ms)

PAPER 1
MAX MARK = 75

Min Marks required for
Grade A: 52
Grade C: 36
Grade E: 18

PAPER 2
Max Mark=75

Min Mark required for
Grade A: 54
Grade C: 35
Grade E: 22
--------------------------------

I just wonder now, it would be very easy to get Grade A then? (not that I am being overconfident) Are the grade thresholds near to each other every year or they vary signinficantly year to year?
Where did you get this from? Can you please post the link?

In igcse May 2011 pak studies the grade thresholds said that A* was at 116/150 and the question papers were the exact same as the o level ones for pak studies may june 2011

But there must be a difference between the threshold of gcse and igcse !! The may 2011 paper was pretty easy except for the languages part and I think the threshold must be quite high coz only a few students achieved A*s in my school, even those who were expected to be getting them :)
