Ok i hear many ppl wondering...
now this is how the system works
The grade thresholds on the site are correct as yes 65-70% can fetch u an A
if the paper is tough....The total percentage can also be 70% and the person can get an A
but then on some ppls statement of results epecially for india...the percentage uniform mark is given..
the person can get 70% in actuality but it will show as 80 % on the statement of results... if we take the minimum grade threshold percentage for an A to be 70 %(in all components)
totallyKeyur28's grade boundaries are actually correct FOR PERCENTAGE UNIFORM MARK not for the actual marks u obtain..
and remember the tougher the ppr... the lower the thresholds...
this system is dependent upon the curve and the curve hasnt disappeared as the grading system is STILL THE SAME..
its on the CIE page on facebook..
thats why getting A's and A*'s has become more easier..
there is a link on youtube about how Uniform Mark Scale is calculated...check it out ppl
and lemme know...
any questions/queries on anything about IGCSE will be appreciated
