IGCSE A* vs. O-level A
Alpha:
??? Why can't you give O Levels? We give it here. Isn't it a choice made by the Ministry?
Saladin:
Around the world from 2010, the O levels will become no more. This was decided by the exam boards.
Alpha:
Any link? So that I can check...
DrEvil:
You ppl are so stubborn...i am talking of November '09 session and u are bringing November '08 session...what kind of an argument is this??
...and if any of ur friends gave any subjects in this November '09 session, better ask 'em...
and also one more thing that O Levels is going no where and no exam board has the authority to decide this until unless the number of candidates become too less that the British Council and CIE cannot make huge profits and they suffer loss...so be patient and as i said just concentrate on ur studies and don't worry abt these boards...

Borakk and I did the Nov 09 session. NOTHING was changed to A*. And for all my 8 subjects, I got a distinction 1, > 90%, with an A. There was no A*. Dist. 2, I saw on my friends' result slips were graded A as well.
I don't know if this is true, but some people say that the O Levels are graded A both for dist. 1 & 2 because the papers are more difficult. So that more students get a Grade A in it.
My sister is going to take the O Levels this November, 2010. And NOTHING was said about the grades. Nor was anything said about not having the O Levels. Since years, Mauritians have been attempting the O Level Papers, don't think anything will change now.
