You can get a C at AS level and still get an A* overall at A2. If you get a top C (60% UMS) at AS level and then get 100% at A2 you will get an A* overall.
Nah - if you got 89% in your AS and 100% in your A2 you'd still get the A*. What you need is an 80 UMS overall in the A level with 90 UMS at A2. EDIT: So if you got 75 UMS at AS and 100 UMS at A2 then you'd get an A* in that subject.
Yeah... thats not true. My brother got a C in AS History, and got an A* overall
Edit - I got a neg for stating my brothers A level results... o_0 :L
No, YOU'RE wrong. You must have 80% overall (AS+A2) then at least 90% in A2. So if your brother got a C, and say 65%, he must've got at least 95% to average 80% to get the A*. I didn't neg you but when you try to say someone else is wrong in a cocky way and end up being wrong I can understand why people would neg you.

no you got negged because you're talking bull. you need 80% overall to get an A*. that is true for all exam boards at a-level.
I am honestly not talking bull. and I am sorry if I did mean to seem cocky You need 80% overall to get an A, as well as 90+% in your A2 units. My brother got a top C in his AS History, and must have got pretty much 100% UMS needed for an A*.
I'm sorry if I am sounding cocky I am just stating. I mentioned earlier how AS's are more about predicting A*s and general predicted grades, sure, they give you a good head start for A2 modules, but A2 modules are the only modules that actually count towards the A* :/
It's certainly really easy to get an A* in maths at A-level, so you shouldn't worry too much.
In my view, it doesn't depend so much on ability, but more on your work ethic and desire to achieve. If you enjoy your subjects, you will find it much easier to get the top grades.
You will need to get A grades at AS and then average 90 UMS in your A2 modules.
Good luck
Thank you I'm hoping to apply for either physics or physics w/ astrophysics at Manchester Uni, which requires A*AA to include physics and maths. Other universities offer physics with lower entry requirements (AAB) but I'm absolutely dying to go to Manchester!

To get an A* in Maths, you need to know every single topic very well, so do any questions you can get your hands on. After that, do as many past papers as you possibly can.
