CURVE
CMayor:
Hey guys.. Do u knw about , what a CURVE is? ???
Q80BOY:
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! ;)
