yes it is same for all
90+ = A*
80-89= A
70-79= B
60-69= C
50-59=D
below 50 = U
Assalamoalaikum!!

it isn't same for all!!

If u see the grade thresholds..u'll notice they are different for different papers and diff. subjects!!

and to what chem master has mentioned...it is actually the percentile calculated this way :)

Sorry But this is Not the criteria for the grading scheme And nor it is Same for the levels and Subjects :)
Math_angle is Correct :)
Different Subjects have Different percentiles and According to those percentiles grades are given :)
it's not the straight away percentage who would decide your grade
percentile is same for both private and Non private candidates
Be sure before Posting

I dont think its for O levels !

No !
there's a huge misconception from few months Back !
But percentile is still there in O and A level :)
And it cant be abolished :)

if there was No percentile then believe you be candidates would End up Getting C's and D's :)'

hope you got the point :)
