   • Hello Adityaraj,

     You are allowed to write in point form. However, responses require developed reasoning rather than simple description; listed points generally only gain Level 1 whereas an explanation of a point could move the answer to Level 2.

     If you plan to secure Level 2 and Level 3 marks, make sure you fully develop each point made to show how or why it is important. Always refer to information or data from the case study as evidence to support each point made. You must explain your conclusions and recommendations by comparing your choice against other options to give a balanced decision. Make it clear why this is the best option.

     To help you manage your time, try to keep to these timings:

     – Try to spend about 10–15 minutes reading through the introduction, all the appendices and the four questions before you attempt to answer any of the questions.

     – Try to spend no more than 10 minutes on each question.

     – Make sure you allow more time to answer the (b) questions which require you to make a judgement.

5. Greetings.

   1. I am an exam officer. My students want to know what range of marks come under each Grade from A* to G.

   2. Is there a possibility for a student to check out his papers if he or she wants to.

   • Hi George,

     To answer your questions:

     1. Each year has different marks for each grade because the exam questions have slight differences on the level of difficulty. In order to provide equivalent A* achieving chance, the threshold is used to determine the grades for that year.

     A grade threshold is the minimum number of marks that a candidate needs to obtain a particular grade in a paper or in a subject. These thresholds are decided after each examination has been taken and marked. The aim in each year (or examination series) is to set each threshold in just the right place to ensure that it is no more difficult and no less difficult to obtain that grade than it was in the previous year.

     2. You can refer to past papers for the grade threshold. For more information regarding the marking process, kindly read this article: https://www.igcsecentre.com/guide-to-the-marking-and-grading-process-of-exam-papers/.

     No one would get back their exam papers. Students may apply for re-marking if they feel that they should obtain higher marks.
