CIE A LEVEL GRADES

[falafail]

does anyone how AS and A2 grades are combined?
do they add up the actual number scores from AS to A2? or do they just use the grade results like A/B/C, and if so then HOW THE HELLLL???

just curious.

[Dooraven]

50% As Percentage
50% A2

Is it True that grade thresold are abolished?
like you need to get 80 to get A and 70 to get B?

[pastyear]

no sure about as got A*

[immortal]

Da grade threshold, r marks obtained by a ideal candidate,but Overall % which is important.
4 A* its not da same, although da overall required is sme as A, v shud get 90%+ 4 da A/level papers,if u require 80%+ 4 an A.

where did you get this news from 

[ABF]

are there any thresholds??or is it just 80% A,70% B

[vserian]

oNE OF MY TEACHER SAID THAT FOR ALL SUBJECTS YOU NEED 80 TO GET A

[***exam***]

thats it only 80  to get an A wow !! wish it was this way

[falafail]

thats it only 80  to get an A wow !! wish it was this way

what do you mean, ONLY 80? for some years the grade threshold was so that 60% gets you an A. we're f**ked. -_-

are there any thresholds??or is it just 80% A,70% B

that's what i wanna know.


also, i found this:
In the current system, A levels are graded from A* to E.[12]  The raw mark in papers are converted to marks on a Uniform Mark Scale (UMS), so that every A level subject has a maximum of 200, 400 or 600 UMS marks, and every AS-level subject 100, 200 or 300, depending on the number of units. Each grade requires a specific percentage of the UMS points available in both the A- and AS-levels:

Grade    Percentage of UMS marks
A*           80%+ overall plus 90%+ in A2 units [13]
A            80%+
B            70% - 79%
C            60% - 69%
D            50% - 59%
E            40% - 49%

I think the fixed threshold posted by Falafail has just been put into use this year, since we now have the A* grade.

Indeed. What I believe is that They will grade everything based on the UMS. So its like, almost hte same really. You cant generalise and say 80 will be enough for A. Thats a risky move to take. It could be higher based on the exam paper. Also, if youre really aiming for A*, then my advice is to just take the difference between the A marks, and the B marks, and just add them to the A marks, to get the threshold for A*. Thats what I believe. Also, a person with a UMS of 100 may not get Full correct in all the papers. Thats important to note

[matabd]

And Mr. Falafail:

I think that A* is plain 90% according to the UMS. And since the weightage is 50-50 AS A2, Im not really sure if the criteria is also 90% in A2 units. For CIE im sure i read that its 90% UMS.
