So basically for example what if you screwed up on one paper, lets say paper 6 and did not meet the minimum requirement for an A on that paper but did well on papers 1 and 3 and did meet the minimum requirement for an A on that paper. Then what you guyz are saying is that an A is still definitely possible right????????????? It's about the OVERALL percentage in all 3 papers combined right.

Just wanted to know cuz for last years Math 0580 papers one of my friends got a 77 and it said a B on his certificate but if you look at the grade thresholds for May-June 2009, then they are way lower than 77 so how is that possible??????

Normally, you'll only know what grade you got, and not mark you got.  By the sound of it, CIE introduced a new system of grading so 90% UMS was an A*, and 80% was an A, and 70% was a B, and so on.

its about overall.
91 - 100%                  A*
81 - 90%                   A
71 - 80%                   B
61 - 70%                   C

and so on......................

dats only 4 component pprs and not the overall grades which we get in results, they are as what i said b4 A*,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,U       A is 80-89% in overall which we get in our results.

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) totally
Keyur28'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  ;)
