O Levels Grade Range

[ys]

I'm just curious.
I know it will be moderated slightly and such, but I want to know roughly what is the grade range for O levels.

Like
A1 - 90 to 100
A2 - 80 to 90

I know that isn't it, but just to illustrate what I'm talking about.
Anyone know? Thanks a bunch.

Well, the standard is..

A1 - 75+
A2 - 70-74
B3 - 65-69
B4 - 60-64
C5 - 55-59
C6 - 50-54

Moderation only occurs when there's too many people getting As or too many people failing as a result of the exam paper being too 'easy' or too ''difficult' respectively. If so, then it may only differ by a couple of points only, nothing drastic.

*Agrees with sleepy kitty*

they just wanna maintain that, a certain percentage gets A1, and a certain percentage gets F9.

they dont want it to be a situation where maybe 20% get A1s. and in the long run, these certs will be useless.

D7 - 45-50
D8 - 40-45
F9 - 39 and below

thank god i didn't take o levels

i thought the grade ranges depended on how well the whole cohort does

 

[Anirudh]

no bro i disagree...in my O levels year (2005) the A and E math papers were so god damn easy and eveyone thot they were gonna get A1

then come out i got A2 for E maths...hard to tell lah..but maybe A1 was like 85++

cant be too sure tho

cheers

 

[bockscar]

yeah the ranges given are the estimate

but it will vary a few marks, depending on performance of the cohort

 

[markedymark]

the grades are a guideline for schools to follow. but the bar will be raised or dropped depending on how well or how badly the whole cohort does. if its really easy A1 might be 85+.

 

[crozzfire]

haha then i hope all the papers will be real tough, then an A1 will be 60. :twisted:

 

[bockscar]

if the papers really tough can get 60 anot

okay just kidding sorry :lol:

 

[crozzfire]

heard from my teacher that the e maths last year was 90+ for A1 last year.Sound really impossible. i think that she was trying to scare us.
but ya the fact is everything is based on how the whole singapore cohort does...
wah getting more scared..40 plus days left i think... :?

 

[yellowStrat]

woot...

relax man..... all u have to do is to study smart and not worry abt the marks...

i left half of my E Maths P2 blank and still gt a B3....

maybe u can do it too... just dun leave half of the paper blank!!

 

[bockscar]

LOL at yellow strat

crozzfire : sorry if i was offensive ah, i hope i didnt demoralise whatsoever

cmon guys you can do it :lol:

 

[Reth]

*prays for morderation this year*

Cuz I'm gonna need it hehe.. Shouldn't we O'ers agree to all do badly so that our marks can be pulled up? :lol: If not, gotta take away my guitar and computer access to do well..

 

[marcdadrummer]

well the e maths paper for june is really easy.....

my school's cohort scored an average of 95/100... that easy!!! but i failed anyways coz i didn't bother to study....

well if ur prelims u find it really hard, than don't be demoralised if u got really bad results for it as prelims are just a guage mark and usually the papers are set really hard for the school's standards...

i remember i got 29 points for L1R4 on my prelims hahahaha!!! that teruk..

anyways o levels are real easy if you really do your homework... if not, than habis lah... so better start bucking up now.... the last two weeks study break i practically go back to school everyday and go for all extra lessons my teachers gave me even though they are not for my class, i go for them twice....

i love chemistry...
