Write your expected grade in Physics paper 3 ( All Varients 31.32.33)

[Alex10]

I did variant 31. Expecting 70+

I still don't understand the threshold fully. How come they say the total marks are 200 when it's clearly 160 if you're taking Papers 1,3 and 6? Can someone please explain this to me?

They probably include the practicals (paper 5). But you just did Paper 3, Paper 1 and Paper 6 it's 160 in total.

Thanks, but for one year I found that the threshold was 156/160? Can it actually be that high?

Which year was this?

I forget now. I'll let you know ASAP. And even for Paper 5 (practical) the maximum marks are 40 which still gives a grand total of 160 marks. Do you think they multiply our marks/total by a factor so that it equals 200?

No, I don't think so. But normally the A* threshold ranges between 145-160.

I heard that they multiply each paper by 1.25 and then add them all ,
as (80*1.25)+(40*1.25)+(40*1.25)=200
it make sense but am not sure about it.

So the thresholds that they always give are out of 200?

 

[Fabienne]

Dont worry though , every year's A grade is just about 48 and lower , it doesnt cross 50 , so 65+ would be enough

Oh right, thanks!!
So if an A is 50, what's an A* ;o

Predicting your grades bring bad luck, and causes depression when expectations are not met.

thats true

 

[Igcse giver]

what was the radiation in v 32

 

[Relon]

Yes, for most of subjects i saw it was 200

 

[Autumngirl]

plllzzzz
it was not tht easy

Well,what did you find difficult?

i think they multiply or else in the ms they would give the total of 4 papers rather than 3

I did variant 2, and hopefully 70+ by God's grace... I feel most of the papers i've done have a kind of different style compared to recent years' papers- wht do u think?

 

[sdcsdsd]

i expect 70 + on varient 2 >>>>> it was hard but my only problem was with the waves

Same expecting 70+

 

[sdcsdsd]

Yes they always convert them thats why for physics 83% for A* which is around 166/200.

 

[aiskjkqdl]

Yes , as i said check the marks curve of 2012 ,2011,2010 , the highest A is 48

If i get 160/200 and the A* boundary is 160 then will it day 80 percent,A* or 90 percentile A* in my report?

 

[Mohab88]

I did variant 1 isa i will get +60/80
