English usually has the lowest A1 - Cambridge has very different standards from us, teacher showed us examiners report once, they don't put much emphasis on grammar and spelling apparently. Plus this year EL compre harder than usual years (when I did other years I got like 20/25 but this year one got 16/25 about) so EL will moderate down.

This is what I told my amath teacher: " Ms XXX, I dont think i can gt A1 for amath, the paper is so much easier than the usual school exam which i usually get around 88-91 but I am too tired to do the questions..end up throw away 8-10 marks out of a total of 180 marks for amath, which is around 4-5% for amath......" But my senior said that she got C5/ B4 for school english end up o level she received B3... ...So how many marks before moderation in order to attain A1/ A2/ B3 for o level english??/

Let's just all wait for the actual results before making decisions :).
I'll just hope the A1 benchmark for emath is around 92. From what i calculated my emath marks should be roughly 92, really careless.
Can't give any comments on your last post because I will be contented with just a net score of 9. Don't really dare to hope too much.

I don't think we must get more than 90 for E math in order to get A1. Cambridge says a lot of people lack the presentation skill in order to score even though they get the correct answer, hence, they will get a deduction in the marks. I think to get A1 for emath is around 78-79.
