First time giving exams How ?
guitarbuddy:
Guys i am giving the as level exams for the first time. and my exams are currently exams going on.
However i need to ask how do cie give marks ? do they give grades or marks ? do they give it per paper or marks ? is there a star in cie ? if yes form what percent ? If i need to repeat a subject like i get in a in paper 2 and paper 1 and c in paper 3 ? so do i need to give all the papers again or only paper 3 because i need to score a ?
Thankyou guys for reading these question and answering them

Every year, grades are awarded on the basis of relative grading scheme, which means that there is no fixed 80/90% or something similar for any grade. You should download old papers from xtremepapers and markschemes and then u will know that how grades are awarded . Also u should download gt i.e grading threshold or grading chart which tells u how many marks are needed for A/b/c/d grade.They give grades only and A* exists!!
(NO marks would be deducted for wrong answers., so u should attempt all!!!!)YOu will have to appear in whole AS/ A level, if u want to latter improve your grades. Individual components/ papers are not allowed to sit for in CIE(however Edexcel the other board allows this). If your As level grade is poor, you could work very hard because you will be able to latter try and cover it at Alevel(i.e. the A2 level - after AS level)
Tell me how are you studying? Self/ school? Any tutors? What subjects? Physics/Chemy/what? The questiosn u have asked indicate that u are really new. Do you attend school formally? Please reply me...
Good luck for your all papers.
TAke care.

I am studying in a school. And my AS LEVEL exams are going on now. I have taken Physics, Chemistry, Maths (Statistics and Pure Maths ) and English Launguage.
According to me , I think i should get an A in Physics Chemistry and Maths because i have done really well. But is A grade well enough ? Generally A * grade is from what percentage ?
Thanks. Please Reply me
kaipai:
A* :)doesn't exist at at an individual component or at as-level - only at whole a-level. So, whether you get A* will depend on your getting atleast an A at As-level. You can get the marks required for obtaining A* at A-Level (any subect) from www.xtremepapers.net. The A* grading marks were formally anounced at May 2011 exams and will continue onwards.
I just want to know that do you not have any friends/fellows who know about such grading information? Or they new as well?
thank you for replying.
good bye,
kai pai ;)

No one knows. Everyone one is new. I need to ask one more thing- I am from india and would like to go to USA or UK for universities. If i get a C in english and A in maths,physics, chemistry will i get admission ? Do the universities consider english grade or do they consider IELTS AND SAT ENGLISH ?
