Im sorry bro too

But what you say is BULLSHIT

You cant actually tell A* is from how much :O they simply gather the highest A grade and consider it as an A* so there is no limit for it

But in that dude's case i dont think you'll get an A* with those grades :O And trust me if you think you got like 10 mistakes only in paper 6 then double it x2 cause OFC there are some answers you think it's correct while it's not

Dont look for the grades now,Look for paper 1 do good and you might get an A :O GL for us all !

The user who posted above is right. Once I hear the marks for A* was near about 70%, cause over all the world, the paper was badly done.

About you getting an A*. Lets see how much the papers weigh.
Paper 1= 30%
Paper 3= 50%
Paper 6= 20%

Your scores
Paper 3= You get 34.375%
Paper 6= 15 %

So far you have gotten= 15+34.375= 49.375.

The maximum marks you can gain from paper 1 if you make NO MISTAKES at all, your total score would be= 49.375+30= 79.375.

The curve for A* in the previous years were 85% +-5. You have to make sure you do really well in paper 1, and pray that the curve would be very low.. I'm praying myself.


Oh i hope the make the curve low.i screwed up big time as i left some question. :cry:

Don't worry guys.. Personally, I have been panicking about Biology so much, the only subject.. Paper 6 was a disaster for me, according to friends/ other sources, I lost about 6 marks on stupid mistakes.. In paper 3, I really enjoyed the paper and think I lost around 10 marks...
I asked my teacher about this, and he said that the biology papers this year were the hardest he'd seen in a long while. He said that he thinks they were trying something new which, seems to have gone pretty wrong.. The curve this year will be lower than previous years, so don't worry guys.. And secondly, the papers year was so different, the way that they mark the papers too may be different, meaning simple questions that you think you get wrong, you may have got right :)
