3 A* and B in 4 Units - is it A* or A ?

Hi,
If I get, 3 A* and B in 4 units (Russian GCSE) , will my grade be A* or A , will they take into the account if the A*s are in high 90s ?

Assuming they are equally weighted @ 25% each - the more marks you get in each unit, the better.

If you got 90/90/90/70 (%) for example, then your average would be 85%, which is only an A.

If you get 95/95/95/75 (%) then you would average 90%, which is an A*. So it depends on what your marks are, really.

(To find your average, add up the total and divide by 4).
But the grade boundaries are different for each unit so how does it work?
