If I got a B at AS, what grade would I need to get at A2 to get a B overall?

Depends on your UMS but most likely a B.

Depends on your UMS.

For a B overall, you need to average 70% UMS across your AS and A2.

A B grade at AS is anything from 70% UMS to 79% UMS.

So, if you just got a B at AS (70% UMS), you would need to get 70% UMS at A2 to average out at 70% in the total A-level and thus achieve a B overall.

If you got a middling B at AS (75% UMS), you would need to get 65% UMS at A2 for a B overall.

If you got a high B at AS (79% UMS), you would need 61% UMS at A2 for a B overall.

I just picked the above normal Myers out of the air, but you can work it out the same way with whatever UMS you actually achieve at AS.

Good luck!
