    Hello! Its said if one takes core in 10th they get the percent out of 75. But I want to know in the marksheet of the student who has taken core, the percentage will be given out of 100 or 75. For eg if I score 65/75, in marksheet it will be scored 65/75*100 = 86.6% or 65/100 i.e 65%

    • @mariyakhan6873
      @mariyakhan6873 6 месяцев назад

      Yes and I assume that for each subject (bio, chem, maths, physics) the percentage wouldn't be more than 60 or 70
      I mean even if you score 160/160 in the paper you'll get a C grade with a percentage not more than 70

    • @tomistom1721
      @tomistom1721 2 года назад

      The general consensus is that a grade 8 is equivalent to the old A*. I think Cambridge IGCSE’s A* is set above what the A* used to be when normal GCSEs had the old system, and that’s why it’s equivalent to a 9 on their table but in general: A 7 is an A, an 8 is an A*, and a 9 is an A**. So an 8 is a fabulous performance.
