    I do the AQA specification and so 60% of the grade is coursework and the other 40% is the exam grade. 60% of the final grade is already an A* and so what do I need in this exam as a minimum to get at least an A overall?

    Do you know your UMS for coursework? Because then you's just do 360 (minimum UMS for A* overall) minus what your UMS was to find out what you need. I don't know how to get the marks from this though, sorry, but i hope this helps. Well done on your A*, i got like B/C

    Here's the spec where i got the information from

    Don't worry about the B/C, it's excellent. Most of my class have failed because they just can't be bothered so now they would jump at the chance for that mark! You can try and get really high marks on the exam!

    Aww thank you But honestly i'm so bitter towards textiles now because of the work my teacher put me through that i don't care what i get anymore lol. Plus i've got a biology exam tomorrow so i've had no time - no chance of maximising marks. You will do really well though, you've got an A* already!
