is it 90% on EACH A2 unit or 90% on A2 units overall?
Overall, i.e. at least 180/200 on the A2 units for 4 unit A levels or 270/300 for 6 unit A levels. If you look there is a sticky thread all about this that goes into painful and repetitive detail.
It's just as much work to get an A* with the lowest B as it is the highest A at AS.
70/100 means you need 90% anyway at A2 to get 80% overall, the 90% gets you the A*. Even with 100/100 at AS, you still need 90%. As someone demonstrated above, it' still possible with a C.
The only difference in difficulty will be the jump in skill, not that an A* is harder to technically get with a B, as someone said above.
Why comment when you're wrong? Seriously. You could be the difference between someone pushing for an A* and someone giving up and just settling for an A, all because you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

So... in maths for example, you can get 85% in c3 and 96% in c4 and still get A* if you have 80% overall in the whole a level
are you sure about this because our maths teacher said we had to get above 90% in both A2 papers (C3 and C4). also there was a boy last year in our school who scored 2nd highest in the whole class but still got an 'A' whereas quite a few others got an 'A*'
Guys. How hard can this be? This kind of thread has come up all the sodding time on TSR.
You need to average 90% on your A2 modules and you need to get an A for the overall A Level. So you need for your complete A level to have 80% of marks. And your A2 modules must average out at 90%. (With Maths, it's only C3 and C4 which must average out at 90%. Otherwise, I'd just need 76 UMS for an A* in C4)
no, you must have an at least 80% for AS (A grade) + 90% at A2. So in short no you cant unless u do retakes
Not true.
I got a B in AS Biology and an A* at A2 with zero retakes.
You need an A as your overall grade - as long as your A2 grades are 90% plus combined and this is enough to bring your UMS up to an A, then you will get an A*.
