grade thresholds
« on: October 28, 2009, 11:32:28 pm »
umm just wanted to ask whether the grade thresholds actually apply? I know it sounds weird, but for example if the grade threshold for a subject was 38 out of 80 for an A, would you actually get an A if you get 40? It sounds awfully ridiculous.. (50%?)

haha!!! :D :D
dude it may sound weird but that's the difference in IGCSE
u get a A even if u get 48 or 38 out of 80 if acc. to the gt A is above 38
but for an A* u will HAVE to get above 90 percentile.!! :o :o
AAL IZZ WELL!!! ;)
