    Is this true? - CIE now releases total marks or percentage earned to students/teachers?

    I finished my IGCSEs in 2011, back then no marks were specified in online results. Recently someone told me that she got 89 in a subject, her teacher told her. Apparently teachers receive their marks As far as I know, Results are confidential and centres may know of the grades, but are they...

    I do not understand which grade I have gotten in C1 and C2!

    So I got my results in my online account, and I had this. So are these my "RAW" marks or the "UM" marks? Then I looked at the Unit Grade Boundaries here: Unit Grade Boundaries January 2012 Now I don;t understand if these were my raw marks or UMS marks, because either way they don't...

    New to Edexcel A Levels. Can I take my A Level exams (1.5y)

    I finished Cambridge IGCSE examinations in June and got 5 A*s and 3 As.The structure of papers there were simple an if I compare those to A Levels, I end up getting lost. The rules don't seem clear, not to mention the subjects are way harder now. So I started off studying a little late and I...

    igcse results doubts

    I received an A* in ICT and I didn't cheat. I earned it fair. You were graded for your effort made in the Board Exams. If you had done better, no one would have given you an A. A isn't bad either considering the difficulty of the Papers this year, so congrats. :D

    igcse results doubts

    Since you do have the doubt, you know that this doesn't qualify as among the best, but it's good. I have friends who have scored E's and F's and U. So your grades stand out and are good enough for getting into a good university, so congrats! :D

    Biology Paper 1

    I know that. We are arguing about the position of the STIGMA, not the anther. Pollen tube develops on the Stigma, not the anther. Pollen is released from the anthers and are carried to the stigma. That is called pollination. To fertilize the Ova, the sperm from the pollen grain must be...

    Biology Paper 1

    No, that is not possible at all. Remember that the stigma always stays on top of the fruit. The stigma originates over the Ovary. I know this for sure because I grew pea plants and I have taken pictures of the first peas they produced. Therefore as a proof, I'm adding a picture, where you can...

    Biology Paper 1

    The ones on the bottom left were ANTHERS. The Stigma was the pointy end of the pod, the one at the right. So the answer was D. The Stigma always remains attached to the end of the fruit as the fruit is the developed ovary and ovules.

    Biology Paper 1

    That's correct. The atmospheric pressure and the inside pressure is equal, so when we breathe the lungs expand, volume increases, so rate of collision decreases (pressure decreases)

    Biology Classification doubt: Is this an insect?

    That's what I thought.

    Biology Paper 1

    I believe it was Damp Cotton wool in 18 degrees celcius, as boiled water would denature enzymes. I chose 1 insect. And yes, the first product is Sugar, as Carbon dioxide and Water are used to form Glucose (sugar) and oxygen Yeah, the pod was D, as pollen tube grows grom the pollen grain...

    Any did p1 BIO EXAM just (Easy/Hard)

    There were 2 repeated questions from past papers, so I knew 2 answers for sure. The paper was easy but as easy it is, I made mistakes. :(

    Biology Classification doubt: Is this an insect?

    No. I thought this was not an insect since it doesn't have antennae, wings or compound eyes. :( so 1.
