The CIE thread 2010 (Results Day: 12 August)

It is the cheapest, in the sense that because it is not modular you pay a fixed rate no matter matter if you enter for AS/A2 i the same session. It is cheaper that way.

Others you have to pay by the paper or by module, which is your decision but comes at a higher price.

Uhh really? I paid around 133 pounds per subject plus 75 pounds as the registration free.

and where I live, its different for AS and A2

Hmm true that.

I prefer modular better, this is too much of a burden

Thats your place, are you doing it privately?

Nope. Registered from my school.

Then your school is charging you way too much.... And its the first time I have heard that its separate for AS and A2. I am paying half that.

heya guys
dis year CIE f up the paper i got BBCC{physics,math(P1 and S1),chemistry,biology} in As last year but this year the papers were hard as ever i studied the whole year i was able to chem P5 easily but P4 question 1 was kind of weird and Ksp,mass peak was difficult i guess rest was fine...physics p5 was eassy but got messed up in 2 nd question was suppose to take out ln of timeperiod (T)but at that time tried so much couldnt sort it out..and paper 4 of phy and paper3 of math i.e. p3 were orrible on same day and i was blank in both the papers..dint knw wt to write..
and p5 of biology was bad and p4 was easy though i h8 biology.i hold a conditional offer frm kings and i wont be able to make up this year very pissed withCIE,the cost of thr paper does'nt make alot of difference i am planning to give res in oct/nov for math ,phy n may be chem..if i dnt score well in res i m gna switch to edexcel board....i heard its easy.
And universities dont see which board is hard or not as they have so many students to finalize anyways i hope the threshold goes down and yea plzz lemme knw abt edexcel board

Erm, the charges for AS is seperate and A2 is seperate and then there is a complete charge for both AS and A2. I'm giving AS and A2 together at the end of the year so probably its more.

I am giving some subject together and its the same fore one whos doing AS for the first time, and one who is doing only A2 after being satisfied with his AS results. For us, whether you are doing only only component or both, it is less.


Half of what you are paying.

It is separate because at some schools u do AS at the end of year 12 then A2 at end of year 13 while at others you do everything at the end of year 13

this doesnt make sense

Plus I think that you only had registration fees for the private candidates only?

I meant that I am giving a combined AS/A2 for some subjects. Therefore my fees is no different that one who is just doing AS or just A2.

every1 pays those fees, then you gotta pay the centre where you are sitting too. gets really expensive

Maybe in your country, but for me I dont think I have paid the registration fees, maybe in a past session but I dont remember. You would have to pay the center, but since my school is my center. I dont need to.

I does depend whether you in the UK or not i guess but you gotta realise that CIE is done internationally more than any other and I think the only other is edexcel and those prices really aint cheap overall. How much do you pay per module??

80 per subject for CIE.

30 per module of Edexcel

some subjects are cheaper, well in my school when you do sciences you gotta pay extra cause of using the labs. so overall then they are about the same then?? right??
