Title: Physics Grade Treshold
Post by: abcdef on June 04, 2009, 01:16:58 pm
Hey guys, I do not want to discuss the paper !, I just want to ask what do you think about grade tresholds for physics paper 3 ? low or high ?
Thank you.

It would be around 50/80 for an A...It usually is around that range, and the paper wasnt too hard, so I doubt it would be lower, like it was in June 2007 (38/80 for an A)!

I think an A* would be like 67/80 or similar?

there's no A* in individual components

Perhaps in the 40s.. the paper isnt as easy as you think.. many hidden tricks which i cannot discuss until after 24 hours.

exactly .. u think uve starred that exam and u end up with a B or something...
but the trick also came up in november 2008

yeah, but what do you think about today's paper ?
Title: Re: Physics Grade Treshold
Post by: sweetest angel on June 04, 2009, 02:05:51 pm
overall easy i'd say

it was okay.. i thought i did bad.. but the smart ppl had the same answers as i did so thank god! it wasnt THAT easy..
Title: Re: Physics Grade Treshold
Post by: nid404 on June 04, 2009, 02:07:39 pm
overall easy i'd say
every1 says that before getting the results...lol!!
but i hope u do well

I really don't think so the paper was easy :| it was tricky. However, the treshold for A is most probably in 50s.
Title: Re: Physics Grade Treshold
Post by: annie_angel on June 04, 2009, 02:20:21 pm
nope...it wasnt tht easy...i hope tht the threshold is low...actually i bet most of us survive b4 da results hoping tht da threshold is low...:(

But still its better not to get your hopes too high  ;D

it wasnt an easy paper,i found it hard one...i hope that the curve would be low
Title: Re: Physics Grade Treshold
Post by: MaNa on June 04, 2009, 02:36:19 pm
the paper was UNEXPECTED!!
i mean the format n everything was completely differet
i aint revealing anything
but yan3 i expected hard one in other way
it wasnt hard but tricky
it was OOOOKAY

hey does any1 know how overall grade is calculated?i heard its something like A+A+A=A*...any1 else has any contributions plz add.thx.Take care

hey guys(who r online rite now)lets discuss the paper okay?u with me?

Post by: Mastermind on June 04, 2009, 03:05:07 pm
As soon as i got the paper, i looked at the number of pages.....20!! 20 PAGES! i look around & every1's like...20 pages...20 pages lol! buh it was ok, hoping to get over 50 or 60
Title: Re: Physics Grade Treshold
Post by: crypsAnity on June 04, 2009, 03:06:06 pm
the paper was easy .. ahahahahaha .. lol .. its just I didnt study .. im sure the threshold will be very high .. i lost 7 marks or summat because i forgot to revise basics??!?!? .. lol .. ts sadly hilarious ..
Title: Re: Physics Grade Treshold
Post by: crypsAnity on June 04, 2009, 03:08:47 pm
@ idk .. you know while returning back home .. i was thinking exactly the same thing .. i should get an A atleast InshaAllah in all my components.. n i considered the fact if really A+A+A=A* .. i shoudlnt be too sad.. but lets hope for the lowest.. ahh..

You guys please stop worrying it just makes your spirit go down and you will screw up in the next exams !
Remember that everyone that comes here to the forum actually cares about his studies so everyone here im assuming studies very hard , not everyone around the world is like that , those people who dont study are the reason we have curves, thank god for them  :D .
You guys just chill an exam is not the end of the world  :) .

hey does any1 know how overall grade is calculated?i heard its something like A+A+A=A*...any1 else has any contributions plz add.thx.Take care

yeh but i heard if also u get A+A+A=A
wat they do is takin' da average so gettin' an A in all  three is like 90+90+90=270 : 270/3=90 so its only A not A*
to get an A* u outa get atleast 95 in all 3 or above and since A grade per paper starts from 90 it dsnt mean u r gna get an A*

n yeh afta discussin' da pper it provd 2 b hard
hpin' threshold is 20 marks low as always
Title: Re: Physics Grade Treshold
Post by: MaNa on June 04, 2009, 06:23:05 pm
yaaa i Hope papaer over all for wverybody is hard sot hat the threshold is really low
By the way if u did bad in this paper canu catchup with paper 1 n get an A*?
please pleae say yes guys :(

It depends how well u did in paper6!! Do ur best and inshallah u'll get the A*!
Pray that the curve is low!!

the paper was soooooooooooo hard and i am the best in class in physics..!!!!!!!!!!!! it was sooooooooo hard...i crien wen i came home.... :'(  and i am still depressed......if the threshold isnt low then i will drown myself....it btr ne less than 45......or else i am dead.....

Same like u but not the best but one of best. The paper went ok. i never revised basic so i lost marks there.
The grade threshold should be 40/80 for A

oh thankyou thankyou tahnkyou!!!! u give me hope!!! lol!!!! if the threshold is not 40 or less...i will die...
=repp for u!!!

well 90% +-2/3% is usually the grade for A* for PCM in our skool and it follows the cie thresholds.but ive heard that A+A+A=A* not A!

Well anything that will serve our grades..high or low it doesn't matter to me...need the A* :D

Hey guys.... i have a question...
I know that there's nothing like an A* for individual components... but lets say i did Paper 1, 3 and 5... how would i be able to get an A* overall????

you need to get an A in all three papers i guess!

i hope it does but only for the rest not paper 3:)
yani in paper 3 the threshold is waaaaaaaaaaaay down bcuz overall if u see generally it was hard form most of the people:)
InshjAllh threshold would be low
