Official 2016 IGCSE Results Thread

I did! Had the awful Bee exam

Hi! I also had it and am quite frustrated with my grade - B. Despite having done a ton of practice tests, and having an A* for my mock, as well as the predicted grade A*. Are you happy with your mark? And do people think it is worth to have my papers remarked? It's 77 overall, I think it did not represent my knowledge or skills of English whatsoever. :/

I'm so mad our school won't give our iGCSE results until the proper results day I wanna know how I did!!!

Preach, it's so frustrating! I've tried to get my login to view them online by contacting my exam's officer. Unfortunately, no reply.

Yup I've tried viewing them on my school site but they didn't publish them!

I had a look on my site too, nothing either. It's a real shame and it's just making me much more anxious knowing I could have them!

Yup same here! I have no idea which components I did as part of the course so I don't know what the grade boundaries are for me The whole grade threshold document is in gibberish

What subjects did you do? Yeah, it's unusual. There is only a maximum of an A grade for individual components, then a weighting factor Is applied and that is what determines your UMS (not called UMS with CIE, not sure what the other abbreviation is, but it's basically the same) and thus your grade.

English lang and lit with iGCSE! We did English lit a year early though so I only have my English language grade to get this year What about you?
Yeah yeah I understand I just mean the individual components are numbered and I'm not sure which numbers I did because there's different routes of components you could've done

Ah, awesome I did: Physics, Chemistry and Biology. In regards to the numbers, there are different variants, with my exams I did variant 1 for all of my exams because I'm from the UK, that means that I did (21, 41 and 61) for all 3 subjects. Good luck with your results!

Good job man! For me literature was the killer and I got only an A. My class dropped a few grades and some who were predicted an A* ended with a B or a C! Glad you're happy And all 8 A*s is awesome! Wish I had 100% A*-ratio! But I'll take my 7A*s too haha.

Got my results today. By God's grace they were pretty decent.
Got straight A*s.
ICT 0417 - A* (90%)
FL English 0500 - A* (90%)
Biology 0610 - A* (95%)
French 0520 - A* (95%)
Physics 0625 - A* (96%)
Mathematics Without Coursework 0580 - A* (96%)
Additional Mathematics 0606 - A* (96%)
Chemistry 0620 - A* (98%)

Good luck to all those who have gotten heir results or are yet to. Hope the best for you and I hope that you end up fulfilling your dreams. May God be with you and Pas Charis!

No I didn't take English Lit. Honestly I think I should have done better in Mod Maths but thank God I got these grades nonetheless. What was your highest subject PUM if I may ask? And to me that Add Maths PUM should be closer to 100. I don't want to pay for a remark either so it can bugger off. Lol. I got them late as my school didn't give me my login details so I had to go to school and get them. Actually what were your PUMs in all subjects? But I am content and elated with my results. To God be the Glory .

Oh my French. Nice one there lad. Considering I didn't prepare adequately for Mathematics that 96 is alright with me. Yeah honestly by grace Add Maths was pretty simple. Did you do 11 21? How was that relative velocity question with the boat? Went down smooth with me. I think the curve for Add Maths at the post 92% was pretty flat although I don't know the specifics. Good job on French and Maths. Honestly speaking if I had a B I would have fasted for 6 months. Aiming for Mathematics / Engineering at Cambridge.

Haha same my maths preparation was 2 past papers (2&4 from 2015, the "hard"'ones) and done. Really surprised I got only a B in add maths and it made me really sad at first, but Cambridge admissions says I still stand a chance. Maybe being the best in school will help me, and the volunteering Ive been doing for over a year (in the medical field mostly). Cardiff and Ediburgh, other med schools I want to apply to, don't even recognise add maths IGCSE for medicine, which really annoys me.

For add maths I have no clue which one I did but I did have the vectors question with the boat - I even got it right, though I got rounding wrong as I didn't do 3 sig. fig. so definitely lost marks there. But my favourite one was the one with two straight lines and a curve creating this weird shape where you had to find the area - i enjoyed solving that question, haha.

Well we both think about the same uni then I like Cambridge because the med degree has a lot of pure science too, so I won't be close-minded at the end of the degree (if I get in, that is).

I probably won't fasten for 6 months since I'm already anorexic and need to gain 10kg :P Might do a November retake if the grade doesn't go up. But with IB and 4HLs I don't think it'll be worth it, since the subject is irrelevant to my degree. Sure it would make me look like a better candidate but can't complain about the A*s.

Good luck to you then man! Admission tests in a year, eh? What A-levels will you take?
