These are grade thresholds, the maximum and minimum marks for your grades. In IGCSE they're typically low (like 40/80 in a paper 3 science paper gets you an A).

Grade thresholds depend on the difficulty of the papers which leads to the performance of the candidates ALL OVER THE WORLD!

If you need anything else don't hesitate to contact me or any other member of staff. Good luck! ;)

dude.. A*depends on the total no. of papers u attempt and how much u achive - for eg , if u get an A in english paper 3 and an A in paper 2 ..  so u totally get an A*

and yeh.. i don't really knw wether the curves have been canceled  or not? :S

My school also confirmed from an email of CIE that there shall be no more curve. But there are still some people out there saying curve still exists.

Let's just drop this discussion, shall we? Work hard & study hard & do a lot of past papers & you'll get A*. Don't depend too much on curve. Just think that it doesn't exist otherwise, you'll hope that curve will help you. Just try your best in the exams and by August 12th, everything will be clear. ;)

All i know is that AS/A level have an A*( it had been declared on the website) there has been nothing said on the CIE website about the Curve or thershold and i will believe it once i see it there.

So you guys stop worrying about the curve and worry about what you going to do with the good marks ya'll gonna get ;)
