[Q80BOY]

it's different each year,

e.g. in the Nov 2008 session, a 44/80 in the Chemistry Paper 3 was an A

u can check the gradethresholds at www.freeexampapers.com

oh, and one more thing, there is NO A* in a separate paper, e.g. u cant get an A* in Biology Paper 6

hope i helped

im not sure about this, my teacher told me that

A + A = A*

A + B + A

B + B = B

C + B = ?

C + C = C

hope i helped this time

hey...
i thot the grades were calculated in a different manner...
like in chem/bio/phy
P1 is 30%
P3 is 50%
P5 is 20%
than yr total is calculated
if u get 90+ its an A*
80-89 its A
70-79 is B
n so on n so forth...

no, no,

there is no set percentage for a certain grade,

but ur right about the Paper 1 = 30 % and Paper 2 = 80 %

gd luck

no way ppl even a frnd of mine got in math 71 its an A*.

even if it was A+A=A* believe me the whole world's gettin A*

the way they calculate marks is pretty strange.

and i dont thin 90+ and only 90+ is an A*

[MaNa]

it depend on the graph
if the paper world wide is hard
for instance if candidate  70 percent  ( hgighest)
trhey shiift the band of A* to 70
so on
