nothing was announced on the CIE website, something major like this must be announced, so I doubt it.

I hope not. That would make things harder.

I doubt such change has taken place.... very much doubt it

Curves in IG's depend on the toughness of exams. Your marks remain unchanged, but your grades are raised. For example, if this year's exam is hard, then whoever gets 60/80 or above will get an A...if however, the exam was dead easy, then whoever gets 75/80 gets an A

go that?

AF explained it to you .. you can check the subject grade thresholds over the years, these can be found from free exam papers .. curves are great .. last year 40/80 in the sciences paper got you an A!! ;)

I strongly suggest re confirming that. CIE proudly proclaims each year how they use curves and not pre-determined thresholds.

do we get percentage with the grades of ny individual subjects..u kno subject wise??
also do we get our overall percentage of the results?? :)
Title: Re: 2010 curves
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on May 05, 2010, 10:05:49 am
u dont get percentages. u get percentiles. 90%ile + = A*

90%ile means that u are in the top 10% of the students appearing for that exam.
