Cambridge should lower grade threshold for June 2022 exams as we were most affected due to COVID-19 pandemic... especially for Pakistan and south Asia countries
Thank you for making this video. It is quite reassuring to know what is actually happening behind the scenes in those anxiety-filled months before students get their final results.
Cambridge should understand that our grade boundary situation shouldnt be the same as 2019 candidates. Caie 2019 students spent their whole O level journey in uninterrupted schooling. Whereas 2023 batch had spend a year or two affected by corona and so had a weak base. For example in most countries, O levels is a 3 year programme. The students who appeared in their final year must have spent their first years in corona , affected like other people. Hence cambridge must understand that corona's end doesnt mean everything is back simple. If i gave my caie this year, i spent my last year in corona whereas a 2019 student didnt get to have that in his previous learning year 2018. We shouldnt be compared to 2019 students but be judged on the situation we had which did include interruption. Awarding low A's is unfair
@theghost8942 yes compared to 2020, 2021 and 2022 they will be higher. Cambridge is going back to their origional standard which was of 2019. They are in reality kinda strict
the november papers werent very the 2022 syllabus, i see there were questions formed according to 2023 syllabus also although we had to maintain our mental and physical health throughout covid! It's not an easy situation even if cambridge thinks the nov students got more time for revision, it was way more difficult to maintain the consistency! I hope the thresholds are low! We'll see how fair does cambridge play!
Today we will get our result for May/June 2023 , I pray from the bottom of my heart that the threshold will be low and everyone gets grades Higher than their expectations! Pray for me too , Have a good day! Dont be nervous!!
mmm isnt having a marking scheme with specific marking schemes a little antithetical to the idea of learning and creativity ? It also limits of the scopes of the answers. There can be a lot of right answers rather than just the ones on the marking scheme.
Well, that would depend on the subject. For subjects such as maths and sciences there are clear and correct answers, no arguing there. And for creative subjects like English the mark scheme is not very specific and instead can be applied universally. For example, to get top grades you need to be “perceptive” and “critical” in your essays.
@@luvtwicecats2518 No. For Maths there are some questions that have many ways and methods of being solved. Secondly, for Science subjects, yes the answer is one, but there are thousands of different ways to say the same correct point, some people use different words to explain things.
@@_Dreamer_9306 unfortunately for maths, they have mentioned to answer as efficiently as possible and the mark scheme shows the most efficient method too. For sciences key terms are key terms, there is no changing that, as long as those terms are mentioned which are usually underlined they are accepted with a plausible explanation too.
Please make the 2023 IGCSE exam grade boundaries low this year. This year's batch was highly affected by Covid. There are rumors that you will make it high this year and that the papers will be very hard. Please dont, do that.
grade boundaries may be high but the exams wont be very hard? those are all false rumours. my friend did her pakistan studies exam and said it was the easiest exam shes done?
could you kindly keep the grade thresholds of cambridge o level 2024 low as we couldnt build our base concepts strong since those foundation years were spent in pandemic? Thank you.
bro be prepared do as much pastpapers as possible because the chances of an easy paper are gonna be quiet low since the paper was quite tough this year so put ur worries aside and face it like a man
Plz make the 2024 IGCSE grade boundaries lower. My teachers have been telling me that you are increasing grade boundary each year. Please have some mercy on us as we are not the brightest
i am 2025 IGCSE batch, we aren't allowed to use calculator in Additional Mathematics P1, the total marks for Physics paper also increased with no increase in time, u guys are lucky enough
that did happen to a batch of singaporean students a couple of years ago. they were given a choice to either use their school exams for entry into tertiary education or resit for the exams. due to this mishap, our papers are now all scanned and sent digitally to the cambridge markers, to prevent anything getting lost in transit.
Cambridge should lower grades threshold in 2023 exams because igcses of this year were mostly affect during the start year of high school, so that's why some people cannot solve easy question yet they can solve difficult questions.. This is because we skipped most basics in 2020,2021
if senior examiners carry out final checks how do the grades change after re checking of paper. I should not even expect a possibility of rechecking if i am paying pkr 46000 for a paper.
I think you people need to find other strategies to earn money. Making difficult paper so students come back for retakes is not a good choice to earn money. What the heck was 9709/42 the worst possible paper to exist. You people seriously need to review the time of papers for each subject. 1hr 15 mins to solve 5 collisions! Are you guys even serious.
Tell me why i wrote lower secondary this year and its harder than ever. I checked my elder sister's past papers and they were not as hard as the ones i wrote. Now i am opened to critisim from my parents that i didnt do as good as her. Thanks a lot cambridge..
i have a question!! what happens when, for the mcq papers, you fully shade eg. letter A but there were a few pencil marks for letter B ? lets say letter A was right, b wont be marked right??
Piece of advice, start early and you'll do fine. By early I mean at grade 8, you should start getting more serious and focus more on what teachers say. Grade 8 starts off from the very basic, 9 it gets harder and 10 is more for revision and uncovered topics. The earlier you start, the better you'll do. If possible, practice subjects like maths accounting or physics using past paper.
Today in my chem p6 the experiment qsn i wrote something completely different and realised it was titration only after so had to cross it out however i did not have any page left so wrote on the blank page hope they mark it💔
@malcomgopoto4240 bro I am probably losing 20 and 15 marks from paper 4 and 6 and I'm not worried. Paper 2 is left for me. I expect to get an A and I didn't even put an effort. You would definitely get an A* cuz you tried hard
Plz keep the threshold for 2024 low 😩

Yes pls

Plz for the batch who is giving papers in 2022 and 2023 you should be linear in marking as they didn't get a proper base due to Corona
Absolutely right this disease has affected many students they don’t want to give exams
I absolutely agree bro.
Idk, 2023 students have not missed any of year 10 and 11, so I don't see the problem with them sitting normal exams...
It’s ok a year is more than enough time if u study smart
So true
Cambridge should lower grade threshold for June 2022 exams as we were most affected due to COVID-19 pandemic... especially for Pakistan and south Asia countries
Yea
Got our results and the threshold was lower then 2019 but higher then 2021
That’s exactly what they did
Make it easy Cambridge for us Because Corona Spoiled us
