Grade threshold different for every country?
Name:
i dont think its different for every country. when you look at a markscheme for example, and you see the grade boundaries, do they say
A 63 for middle east?
A 65 for east asia?
nope, they put you 1 number for A, 1 number for C and one number for E. so i think the grade boundaries are the same worldwide, and you get that certificate i think , by getting one of the 10 highest marks, not just in your country. imagine your country had only one centre for IGs, so your just going to be competing against your centre? doesnt make sense...

they have a certain minium number of entries... n if they r met in the country, then in that subject in that country, the top guy will get a cert... for eg. in malaysia onli 3-5 skools do igcses... but still in june session ppl get top in country cert (not in nov session since not enough entries)

above link shows how they grade it (it is a complicated process) n one thing that caught my eye is that- they usualli remark papers that are just below the boundary mark like if A is 90% and somone got 89%, thy probabli will rremark that paper...

So I guess it not done by individual countries after all. They take average for each country, eg'85/100 A in UAE, 30/100 A in america (:P) , etc.. And than calculate the average. Did I get that right?
abcdef:
I think so, but I think the grade threshold for all countries are same.
