completely agree, the grade boundaries only vary by 4 or 5 marks compared to the previous year...

please i want to ask a question
all of you take chemistry ana all of its marks is 160 or 18o bio and chemistry
but when you open xtreme papers to see the expectations to get the star ana A and B its overall marks is from 200 caz he added paper 5
so can any one tell me how can i know the expectation to get star but from 160
i tried to make ratio
so can any one tell me how can know that expectations ?

actually no one is sure how they mark the gts but if talkin bout an A* frm 160 esp this year where papers were mch easir thn u have to loose max 20-30 marks to b in the range for an A* (in my opinion)

I think you misunderstood me. I want the threshold to be high, so that there is more competition

Of course I am not sure. I was talking about IGCSE in general, usually the grade thresholds are low in all subjects.
Insha'Allah we all will get the A*

Not really. In maths, they are +170 (usually 175). Same for sociology and English.
It all depends on how good people do. Good luck.
