Title: Grade Boundaries
Post by: Moonlyte on May 20, 2010, 05:01:44 pm: Does anyone know what are the grade boundaries for Biology, Chemistry and Physics for papers 1,3 and 6?

You need to get a 90%+ in your UMS.

i thought about that...but 48 out of 80 is 60% which is most prolly an A....these grade boundaries are surely confusing!

Post by: art-ic on June 03, 2010, 09:39:08 am: Yes they r confusing..!! but just 48/80 is an easy target...I am expecting it to be more than that...! I believe u at least need to get 64/80....

I think so too, but there's also the thing about the weights - 31, 20, and 50 percents...
