Yup thats the only way to do a levels
As is half and a2 (Al) is the second half
This is possible
Hmmm check for other subjects if only a2 is possible
And if this issue is with only accounting try emailing Cambridge
And ask them what do to
Or go to a designated cambridge center and have a talk with them
just go on the website
Hi does any have notes for As and A2 Psychology
Hello there
does anyone have the latest official CIE Learner Guides for the following syllabi:
Biology (9700), Chemistry (9701), Physics (9702).
Learner Guides
open the document and go to page 22
does it have that?
The ones on papacambridge are too old
I want the new ones
You know of anyone who could help me out?
Check out their website?
Cambridge
they don't have them there
try gce guide?
hii everyone im sweety currently in AL
Hello! Hope you have a wonderful time here dude!
just a quick question but is it worth it to take 4 a levels
If these a levels are relevant for your future studies then yeah very useful
not sure how relevant psychology can be for economics, havent seen any recommendations to do so
as maybe but not a2
its heavily advised against to take more than 3 A2 by most schools (at least in my area) due to the sheer amount of things you'll have to study
and psychology at a2 barely correlate to a2 economics at all if you're planning to pair them
econ in uni will have a subset involving psychology of buyers but thats more business side
in the end pick what u feel like u are passionate to learn rather than what will be deemed as "good subjects"
people with 5
idk whats up with them
😭
you wont learn anythinh without self studying
cant say ab that
practical subjects like stem got abunch of result but i just have mad respect for anyone that self study theoretical subjects like psychology or econ cuz geee THERES NOTHING
demons all of them
thanks for the advice, ill probably check with the career counselor and make some decisions

Hello. Does anyone know where to get Anki A level CAIE flashcards? (The pure sciences).
Flashcards are so useless to me
making your own is best, you revise the things while making them
everyone have their own way of studying
for me it was blurting
if flashcards work for them
then thats good
Yep that's why I said to me
Hello! I'm new here. Could anyone help me to solve A2 level math 2015 paper21 Q7? I can't work out. Thanks
👍
cheri cheri lady
wassup
which month>
?

Hi peeps have you guys started prep for A2 physics the ones who will be appearing in oct nov ’23
Does anyone know where I can find a full pdf of this rev guide?
Bro 3 months left what do you mean started
I would recommend starting full fledged past papers next month
Does any one have computer science syllabus of whole A levels thank you
Studying sounds like a good idea
Do past papers of recent years good chance your teacher might give from those
thanksss dude

hello does anyone got a soft copy of the psychology paper for Cambridge International AS & A Level Psychology Coursebook?
personally
i would say
that solve all the papers
lets say
your school sir might have said what years are gonna come because its your first mock of A level if your exam is next may june
if its upcoming oct nov
then you gotta be ready.
Do 2022 2021 2023 feb march specifically
How should i get it going bro if i start now, keeping in mind i have some prior knowledge of it
It’s allg bro
You can only try your best
Just work very hard for the next 3 months
I was doing composite and I too didn’t start until like 3-4 months before the exam and did well
It’s definitely do-able without a doubt, just try your best
Well go through the syllabus and check if all concepts are cleared and start past papers
huh?
wot in the sorcery is the meaning of this
It’s like how well you did between the minimum marks for the grade you got and the next grade
Um
So let’s say a subject in AS level is out of 150 and you need 100 for an A
So let’s say you got 125 you’ll get a 90 pum
If you get between the middle of 125 and 100 you’ll get an 85 pum
im not udnerstanding
U see
The highhers ups at caie draw a statistical graph of our results
And your marks are plotted
If your marks is in the 90 percentile you get 90 PUM
It's like you are better than 89 percent people who gave exam the same session
@queen field
so basically its just percentages ._.
Not exactly
Let's say total marks is 200 and u score 100
Your PUM won't be 50
It depends on how u scored compared to the others
so if i get 90
it means
im amongstt he highest 10 percent of the 100% students who got the highest marks
Yes
90 PUM
😔
U HAV 5 subjects??
I mean I had
5 subjects is insane
Some people have 2
wild
I know a girl with 6
insane
Me too man
wait u r in uni
I mean I will be
like u gave AS or A2 in this mayjune
I gave A2
Rn?
like in uni
Australia
niceee
That’s not it
Pum isn’t percentile
Percentage uniform mark💀
Somebody here said it before
They’re wrong
Even I thought it was percentile but it’s not
It’s like interquartile ranges
breuh
das exactly wut percentile is
This is why I have the a2 role
Yeah but it’s not based on the rest of the people
It’s based on your raw marks and the threshold
breuh
He’s in igcse
Ikr slimshady is smart af
frrrr
Why u gotta reveal
I was joking aren’t you in checkpoint
@odd radish tell this person what pum is
Basically in caie we have raw marks and pum (percentage uniform mark)
Raw marks are your exact score on each paper while your pum is calculated using exam thresholds calculated by using grades of every student who has done the exam to make set limits of marks you must pass
Exactly
bro said exactly like it makes sense
So your overall grade is not in the normal A is 80 percent B is 70 percent style
Cuz it does
It basically tells you what position are you between the minimum raw marks for the grade you got and for the next grade
Tbh you dont need to know anything about how they calculate just that we have thresholds of marks we gotta pass to get certain grade maybe total marks for maths is 200 and threshold for a B is 128/200 so we must get above this grade to get a B
bruh, if i get A in AS i get 100 pum?
💀
Basically for you and many yes magic maths to get that exact pum but the grades like A and B are shown clearly on a table released every exam session
Well if you get full marks then yes
Ayo did anyone get a dream of the thresholds releasing
In the case for an A it would be minimum marks for an A and maximum marks
For the whole paper
i got dream of result
Yeah man
There is if you use a mean 🤷♂️
oooh
so basically
For Feb march
Nice nice
i was very close to A
What are you saying

What you saying bro 💀
wot u guys r explaining to me
Wait for a sec let me show you a table
No
B is from 70 to 80
Let’s say out of a 125 mark paper you need 100 marks for a B and 110 for an A
Dear child
You did physics exam this year yay
Yes
And you did p1 p2 and p3 for as
P1 is out of 40
P2 is out of 60
P3 is out of 40
Look at the table above
Thresholds for that series kinda low though
You will see for a grade of B is 23/40 for p1
And grade of A is 26/40
You my friend are smart and get
24/40 in p1
Yay
But another thing thresholds are calculated based on how much people score
Your mark is higher than a B
I'm awesome
But lower than an A
And if you see carefully
24 is in between 26 and 23
So if you are calculating exact pum
Your pum is higher than 70 (B) and lower than 80(A)
yall r bad at explaining
Nobody to this understand how they get the numbers for the threshold
You’re just fucking dumb tbh
It's really sum magic math
funneh
it mek no sense
Just know your do good in exam you get good grades simple
Now go study
Just try to score full marks
I heard they already decide it before marking the paper
And then slightly change it
Or go and continue trying to understand how they mark and calculate how you got an F
Good luck
Maybe they get a estimate
💀
But they said it depends on how students perform
gl on result day
Same to ya
Idk for sure how they calculate threshold tbh
They might be paid by ppl we never know 😔
bro doesnt know how it calculated
if u dont know how its calculated how tf will u explain wot it is 💀
I think what they try to do it keep it standardised for every series
Brother i am not an admin at cambridge headquarters 
Nobody knows
k
They try to make the same percentage of people to get an A maintained
Mf i just said the table of threshold cant be calculated its a curve a grading curve cambridge make but we can calculated PUM from the raw marks using the tables
Yes
Falcon there’s no point😔
They make table
@buoyant mango got hard p3 questions?
They compare to table and we get percentage 🔥
And get pum
ok mf
Explained in caveman
No prob man
Shit this reminded me I lost 11 marks in p3 exam
You gave composite?
No
Ok not around 55 like 58 ish
Yes
A
What variant
You still have a chance of an a*
No way
I m praying for an A
Was hard
Yes that
Because of that I couldn't revise
And lost mote
More
i found maths harder than further maths
Damn
Sus
nerd
It's in my profile
fucking retard

Yo
Bro called u declaration
Yeah I know that
yeah ure good to go then
I realized in AS
I realized next year.
I never realized.
Practiced but still dumb
didnt even do shit
Sleep in class
Call your teacher dumb and follow some indian dude on youtube
mah dude
pakistani
Nah honestly
After 100000 hours of research
Indian for maths
Pakistani for chem
agree
Anybody has Chegg?
What's that
malaysian tutor was goated for his math videos too
(too bad scambridge decided to be a lil bitch about it)
lmao
yeah bro malaysian online tuition was goated fr 😢
U continue his legacy as indonesian online tuition
Real 💪
💀 no
i've got university offline suffering now
the bad sequel to malaysian online blessing
hi, can someone tell me all the topics coming in physics and chemistry A level oct/nov? In the syllabus its written kinda weirdly ig. If youve already made a list of all the topics then could you please share?
Ferrot
Actually in physics p4 almost every chap comes one way or another
Same goes for chem too
Damn fr
does anyone know if the may june papers are out?
hey guys
can anyone help me predict my final A2 grade for my subs since the waiting is making me anxious and my uni admission is on the line here
I wanna discuss potential thresholds and how they line up with my AS grades
cries
yeyeeey im keen to help
which session are you gonna give your a levels in
they'll be out after results
but thx!
Gave +1 rep to the_real_slimshady9#0
when are the results gonna be out?
Aug 10
Im on a syllabus speedrun rn, gotta complete 3 A levels in 1 month, absolutely mental
good luck with that
hey people are any of you giving As exams this o/n?
which subjects?
eco business and comp
nah I havent been studying comp tbh
same bruh I'm desperately in need of help with p2
my comp performance has decreased by a LOT compared to 0 levels, i was an A* student..
I dont know a thing abour pseudocode
I wasn't good to begin with lmao
that's like the basics before u move on to VB
yea and I'm weak at it
oh
got any suggestions?
got 2 months, better get to it asap
can help ya out where u dont understand tbh
not long before mocks asw
thankss how did you understand it tho
Gave +1 rep to hoaxify#0
weird question
znotes got notes on pseudo? xD
do you do the flowchart first to understand it or what?
cause many people are telling me to understand through flochart
Yeah u can go through flowchart before writing the code
true true
thats what im not getting😭
just keep on practicing
I just practiced 1 month before
do you have any notes that could be helpful with it?
so I got the structure
but don't have the logical interpretation
10 days left bruh
I might have a panic attack on my result day
for what?
result
AS
did it go well?
phy,chem ,cs p1 and mech got well
I would highly recommend u to go back to 0 level notes about programming
I am tensed about p2 and math p1
after ur done with that, then move to AS programming
really?
are they the same?
no
yeah the pseudocode is the same, u learn the basics
ohh interesting combination
u should go through paper docks note
paper docks?
okayy thanks I'll have a look
Gave +1 rep to hoaxify#0
actually i didnt even know about this channel I'll check it out too lol
I did go through his videos and understood the concept parts really well however its just the programming for me
if u understand the concept
then just practice questions
elab more.. like is it the language, or what exactly
he focuses on the solving of pastpaper and explains the topics pretty well
bruh is a scammer 😭
Lol
💀
bro not everything crypto related is scam
lol
I actually do share some pretty good insights over there in the group
btw what are you guy's sub combination
gp
phy,chem ,math and cs
isn't chem difficult?
u do econ?
like in A2 it is easies
yessir
Im studying eco rn, how is it for u?
its pretty fine honestly
hmm microeconomics A level?!
p1 is a little confusing but p2 is easy
no but microeconomics a level
i heard thats difficult I actually just finished macro
yep its hard as hell
not prepared for it😭
I actually thought the cost curve topics would be insanely hard
but it requires a lot of practice
especially the diagrams
watch Econplusdal on yt if u want to do good on microeconomics
did you finish macro asw?
nope. Im planning to start it tomorrow
there's an econs yt channel asw?!
yeah the guy explains it like a piece of cake
I'm living under a rock istg
tbh I didnt even know about these 2 months ago
im homeschooled, didnt even touch notes for 1 and a half year
I've just found videos from like 3 or 4 years ago
wait rlly
yep
that's honestly cool asf
is it? xD
which one is cooler tho, not touching notes or
you said you were an A* student
yes
so that's pretty cool to me
same that would still be good enough for me
ye
nicee never heard of it tho😭
Nepal
ohh cool
nah that sounded so uninterested but didnt mean to make it sound that way
😭
ye thank youu
dm or something, idk?
yes ofc
alright
who tryna host a crying session for result day
When's that for u guys?
hello can anyone explain the difference between A2 and AS
Yes
AS is first year
A2 is second year
AS+A2= A levels
as is the innings that u bat
A2 is the innings that you bowl
Nice
yeah
which paper?
cs math and physics
which papers specifically?
U can check this out
A2 papers
math p3 heard is gonna be 69
CS: 12, 22, 32 and 42
Math: 32 and 42
Physics: 42 and 52
I didn't even give Math P3
what
And 69 sounds wayy too high
you did?
They cancelled our paper here due to civil unrest
So we're getting an expected grade based on M1
oh pakistan moment
Yes
well that's what I heard from reliable sources
Istg my batch here hasn't given a single CAIE series without any cancellations
What about these
I know someone that works in CIE
There has only been like once or twice when the threshold has been in 70s for physics p4
Idk man just seems off for the kind of paper that came
I found it easy but the majority said it was bizzare
Well obviously his values have some standard deviation
Hehe I like that
thank you
Gave +1 rep to 72alir#0
thank you

Can confirm. Heard that too
do you know the ones for bio?
Which papers?
Like variant for each paper??

bruh
stop joking lol
@quaint prairie will Maths 12 be set at 60+/75 for an A?
Idk I didn’t ask about the AS papers A2 only to help my homie zephron
what will be threshold for A2 maths p5 then ( zephron gave this paper)
11 21 31 as
guys does doing like coursera courses boost your uni application? like is it genuinely worth it
if ur getting certificate for it then yes it boosts your uni applications as far as im aware
It does but not that much
you can put it on your personal statement
i did DofE and i wrote one sentence on it for my statement
work expereince in your desired course is a hell of a lot better
what’s DofE
duke of edinburgh
Oh ok
ohhhh i see
how would that be possible tho cuz many internships require you to be already studying as an undergrad
nah, what do u wanna do?
eg i did a 2 week internship at a hospital in the uk by asking around and emailing
psychology
nice nice
Not necessarily have to be in ug
I'm pretty sure he's trolling
Nope many internship also cater high school students but yes they are harder to find
anyone know what time the results are released in new zealand?
Thanks bro
@vagrant fern btw what subjects did u sit in June 2023?
Same
Yeah
how much does your school/college take to handover?
Wdym
Idts they take any money to handover results
Lol
They hand it instantly when the results are out and they give us passwords to a portal in which we can access all the results
Bruh that’s sad
For me, I have to wait like the whole day to get my results
Cause it releases at 5 pm on the day for me 💀
rip 12pm for me
Pure maths, comp sci and physics
You from nz too?
Yeah I am
A2 Maths, A2 Physics, A2 Computer Science and AS Economics
@vagrant fern did u do AS English literature or language last year btw?
Oh ok
@vagrant fern I thought every school in NZ made u do AS English cause it’s compulsory for unis
That’s the same time as me
Which Uni are u planning to go to?
University of waikato hopefully
Tryna do a bachelors in computer science
You live in auckland?
Stuck between engineering and comp sci
I mean in terms of travelling time
Because Auckland city is kind of busy
Yea and isn't UofA more expensive than UofW?
It doesn’t really matter for me cause I will be a domestic student
Oh yea you right
So first year is free
Yeah it is
Man 😭
Just for NZ citizens and residents
What if you have permanent residence?
For any uni or just UofA?
Any Uni
Ah damn
I think there are exceptions though
If I have pr you think I'll get domestic rates?
yeah u will
Even if I haven't been here for 3 years?
Yeah it doesn’t matter
Oh okay thats better
I think u are a refugee or your parents are a refugee smth u get first year free too
Cause 35k in tuition fees is crazy 😭
How am I a refugee tho
A refugee of war?
Yeah
Nah sri lanka wasn't at war
Ik
@vagrant fern btw do u have resident visa
Nah
I'm here on my dad's student visa
Unless we get pr I'll have to pay international rates
Oh ok, I think u might be considered international student then
@vagrant fern did u move to Hamilton btw?
But we'll probably get it after my second year starts
Yea I'm in Hamilton
Damn
What 😭
Nothing it’s just that I never knew anyone who moved to Hamilton before
From overseas
And I got family in hamilton so we just went there
I mean it nice here
They got skateparks everywhere
Yeah Hamilton is a nice city overall
Yeah people are nice overall in NZ
U should visit Auckland city sometime too
I do sometimes
It’s like completely different to a typical place in NZ
When my dad has uni
i need advice for paper 5 of subjects phy chem bio.
Youtube
when do the results come out?
Aug 10 for a levels
why does it say aug 17 in most of the places tho
Thats for o levels and igcse
I know, but i need specific links
guys if i start rn for A level chemistry and physics, its possible to prepare until exams right? i have studied the topics before but now i just need to memorize everything and basically prepare for exam. go through everything, practice and see if i need to work on some concepts.
AL chem is doable but physics is kinda...
may prove to be a bit too much
u r giving for oct?nov?
Any update on the thresholds?
@stark falcon look at how A level maths thresholds are like post covid 💀
@earnest patio
a level results are coming out soon
it's fake 
bruh
man I wanna see the real 9709 thresholds
can't wait till they release
wtf they changed paper 12 thresholds drastically 💀
wdym
lol
@earnest patio i am worried about not improving
this was fake
well, lets see first, its a matter of days now
yeah i want these results things off my mind now
I haven't been able to study properly for my mocks since the last 2 days cause of it
i wont be able to check them instantly though, because it will happen during my lecture
damm
@earnest patio uni started for u?
yeah alread
yeppp
@earnest patio how hard has uni been
eh it was so so
some subjects are hard
some are easy
which are easy
oh ok
cant judge until the end of this week
when ive gone through all subjects
@earnest patio when do u your lectures finish btw?
depends on the day of the week actually
4pm gmt+7
also it must be hard to focus in lectures I guess
yea thats why im gonna wait till lecture is over
i dont wanna get distracted with this yet
rip
I also ironically have a short day on results day
Its parent teacher interview on results day
for my school
ahhh the timing
when?
my school does it on 2 days based on alphabetically order
1 august
ohhhh i see
feel sad for people who have it though
yea
imagine having the interview the exact time when results come out
yea lol
What
It's fake lmao
Thresholds release on the day of the results
Ik lol but like I want to see the real ones and I have seen that they sometimes release the real ones a few days early
Any thresholds you see on Reddit more than a couple hours before results release is fake
Read my message above
Yes i know , I wanted to know the probable one, like Whats everyone expecting it to be
Nobody's gonna know haha, anything anyone says at this point is just gonna be copium or trolling
Ohh..guess thats what i am searching for, I need copium fr, my mom and dad already planning on how many boxes of sweets they need buy, and where we will be going for celebrating, that now i cant even say them that my exams were trash and not to expect anything good

Needed for a*s
Pain dude
Thats for an A grade
can someone help me out with hypothesis testing?😭
when do thresholds come out?
they come before the result usually (some of them) but when? 24 hours?
An hour before or when the results come out
for AS/A Level it's this thursday 10th aug
you should've been given login details by your school
if not then email the counselor/exams officer
Huh login details to what ?
I've not been to school in 2 months cuz I fractured my back lmao idk what's going on
Are they supposed to give it on paper or mail you something
Or are you supposed to get it yourself
check with other class mates if theyve got it from school yet
but in the meantime email the person managing exams in your school
Can you send me the page ?
Yeah they don't know much either
Ah alright
Ah alright thanks
btw do u have these for others subs as well?
Are you supposed to have the login information beforehand or are they given out only after the results
Where'd you get this though?
beforehand
beforehand
Have you guys already gotten it ?
This thursday
So after two days that is
Thx alot
Gave +1 rep to huang17#0
the AS ones seem suspiciously low for the science subjects
I didn't give As this year but as I far as I remember usually thresholds are around those
will v1 be similar
I can't say
Of course Computer Science isn't on here
Does anyone who gave all 4 papers of CS 9618 have any idea regarding the thresholds
Variant 2
hello
i messed up physics
💀
@deep compass u ready for tmrrw
I'm listening to wide putin for stress relief rn 💀
What do u think 😭
Tomorrow what time do we get the results
let's get ready for our funeral tomorrow

Tomorrow
Yes
like b4 result?
U can get it frm ur schl
we didnt rip
no threshold comes b4 result?
mad
@narrow prawn AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
i dont want delays
i wanna open as soon as possible
econs threshold is a bit high for paper 2 tho
23/30 - idk tbh
we din get login, some ppl saying school will jus email us the result
the paper was apparently one of the hardest in a very long time according to my teacher
so im expecting the threshold to be like 19-20 for A
mad
it ain lookin gud brev
Samee
BROOO
For mcq?
yea
Its high but for paper 2irs loww
paper 2 will be the same i think
Basically u need to get 51% for an A
due to new format
so about 45/90
Yea
Yea
Thats for edexcel and aqa?
huh wus this
