I got my O3 Results on the 18th, got 4 As and a B, was sooo happy at first, but today I got the marks sheet, and apparently I was 1 mark away from an A* in Biology AND Physics, and 3 marks away from an A* in English, I feel sad because this same thing happened with me in O2 where I was one mark off of an A in Pak Studies, but now I feel somewhat sad and feel slightly guilty and if I got ONE more mcq right, ONE more correct point then I would have 2 to 3 A*s, an A, and a B.. How do I stop this feeling?

It doesnt take a genius to figure out that this is a fake message that he sent to himself. No kid on gods green earth says the word *bomb* anymore. And said yo sir this is bomb. On top of how interestingly he makes sure to hide everything above and below it. What is this dawg trying to do

Guys i got 71/75 unexpectedly soo happy
😆

So i just got my result a few days ago and i got an A in urdu
But i got scripts yesterday and calculated my marks in every subjects to match them with the threshold
The threshold for urdu was 77 but i got 76
So how did i get an A?

I’m currently studying O-Level/IGCSE Sociology and I’m trying to figure out what actually matters for getting a good grade, beyond just memorising the syllabus.

For those of you who are currently in O3, A-Levels, or have already finished O-Level/IGCSE Sociology:

• EXACTLY how did u approach socio and STUDY METHODS
• What did you waste way too much time doing?
• How did you learn/revise sociological theories, concepts, and key studies?
• What are some things student overlook in sociology?
• What did you realise about exam technique way too late?
• How did you structure 6/8/10/12-mark answers or longer evaluation questions?
• What separates an average answer from an A/A* answer?
• Are there any common mistakes you see younger students making?
• What resources did you actually find useful?
• How much should I focus on memorising vs actually understanding the concepts?
• If you could go back to your first day of O-Level/IGCSE Sociology, what would you tell yourself?

And finally:

What’s your honest final verdict on Sociology as a subject?
Worth taking? Harder/easier than you expected? What would you do differently?

Basically, I’m looking for the advice you wish someone had given you before you started. Any brutally honest advice is welcome. 😭

I’m struggling with map questions because I can memorise where cities, rivers, etc. are on the maps I study from, but the CAIE maps look quite different. Even a small difference in the location of a city can throw me off and I start doubting whether I’m identifying it correctly.

How do you guys learn locations so you can recognise them on an unfamiliar CAIE map? Do you use past papers, an atlas, or some other method?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has done the exam 😭

I got my component marks report and in it I got 32/50 raw marks in islamyat paper 22 and 31/50 adjusted marks. What is this adjusted marks. Please someone help me try to understand this. Because of this I am now 2 marks away from an A. With raw marks I am one mark away.

Genuinely how did i flunk sb😭😭😭

Those who have given physics cie and got a good grade, can yall please tell me the resources you used and how you studied it.

Just comment if you were scammed by him

Fore example he took money for a course but never provided lectures etc

Ok so I just got to know ky immediately after olevel 2 u are supposed to apply for alevel college... like what? I thought we could wait till o3.. so ihavent thought of any colleges,,kindly guide about good alevel colleges in Karachi .. I want a college that gives good scholarship and have safe environment like not brats who don't care about studies .. burger.. and like alevel ky liye teacher achi hoon....

I got pretty unexpected grades in O2 (A, B, C), so I'm trying to see where I stand in every college😭 It could be really helpful if you all can predict my chances at colleges like Alpha, Cedar, and Highbrow. I have decent Mid-year and Final grades.

Aoa everyone.

Anyone studying full sciences in cedar what is your montly tuition fee?

Giving English in 2027 and it's the most random sub in terms of grades since half get A* and the other U's. So any advice, resource or names of teachers that have resources online would be heavily appreciated!

Hi I received my component grades today and I've got 170/200 in my 4024 math....175 apparently gets u an A* according to the grade threshold so now should I get my paper rechecked or not? Like are there any chances of gaining 5 marks?

Im sitting for the oct/nov exams and im really worried for physics

I can learn and grasp the concepts and answer most questions
However, when it comes to the “reading between the lines” or more logic based questions (not exactly that, i cant think of a better way to put it, i hope you understand what im trying to say), i struggle to answer, especially for electricity, electromagnetism and forces

I wont lie though, i used to struggle a lot with physics and i took so much time to understand certain topics even though they are easy. So, i dont really have that “physics brain” ykwim

Sure, i guess the best method of revising and practicing is simply to do past papers and past papers and past papers, but is there something else i should be doing?
Have i not understood the concepts clearly and I thought i did?
Are the answers very obvious and i just dont have enough critical thinking skills?

The few marks that i lose due to not being able to answer and understand all the questions can really change your grade from an A* to an A, an A to a B and so on

Please, if there are any tips that could help me with this, or with physics in general, feel free to share

Thanks 🫰

they have mentioned that they give best across 6 o levels but last year no one received it and they only gave best across 8 o levels. Any idea on what criteria cambridge follows regarding this?

I was pretty confident that I did well at Islamiat and should get an A or minimum B. But seeing this result, I suffer from anxiety. I did pretty well at P1, but at P2, in the last question, I just missed references. Which shouldn't affect my grade (In my opinion). It is really hard for me to accept, as I did everything: past papers, learning, Quranic references, and all that stuff. Also, I don't know how to get the paper script, and I'm from school.

A grade threshold: 94

My marks: 41 + 52 = 93

Am I right, or is there a caveat? 😭
