IGCSE A* vs. O-level A
Saladin:
To be 100% sure that u have gotten an astar, you have to get 95%-100%, even after that if you did not get an astar, there is none.
Stylish, i am so happy for u man, i know how it feels to do very well!

:) Moderators are not members of the Examination Board. By the way, we were talking about CIE. But anyway, didn't know Edexcel had abolished O Levels. Thank you for the info.

Hey Alpha, I got the full percentage marks for my O level exam just after a few days after getting the provisional result. Just day before yesterday I got % marks for my AS exam too. Not sure why didnt you get it

We normally do not get them in Mauritius. MES ethics. :( We don't even know yet who topped, maybe end of Feb. :(
--- Quote ---Yes yes yes finally confirmed from someone. Its the edexcel who has dropped O levels and decided to conduct only IGCSE. CIE DID NOT DO IT. In our school many students registered for the may june O level exam.
And Alpha yes CIE HAS NOT adopted an A* grade for GCE O levet. Only in cambridge IGCSE there is A* grade.

Thank you for the confirmation. :)
--- Quote ---Congratulations Alpha. Thats an outstanding result! Hope you do good in AS too!
Hehe! I also got for 9 subjects % marks > 90%. And got A(a) grade. Dont know if I got distinction 1. Those who got 85 or 86 also got the same grade.
And for those who are talking about A*: i got 95% in additional maths in november 2008 which was top in the world for that subject. Still I failed to get an A*. This grade has NOT been adopted by CIE.

Congratulations to you too. :) Yours as well is the same. ;) Thank you.
Dist.1 is > 90% here, don't know about there.
--- Quote ---Another confirmation: NO distinction 1 or 2 for us. If somebody gets A(a), thats it. No further hassle. He or she got the toppest grade. Dont know the system adopted by mauritius though. ??? We are in zone 4. Mauritius is probably on zone 3.

Thank you for giving an idea about the zone. In Mauritius, we do have distinctions, maybe cause we don't get our results in percentile form.
--- Quote ---An Astar at IGCSE is equivalent to a distinction at O level.

Ya, that's what I said.

Hey Thanks a million dude! Actually, before the O levels, I was roaming from country to country for some reason. I just landed at BD at 13th and the First exam is at 21st. I didn't even have the commputer coursework done then. Just Imagine!!!
But alhamdulillah all went well. I managed to do the coursework and went through all the exams well!
