I sat the Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry exam in May. I did the multiple choice, which was out of 40, the Alternative To Practical, which was also out of 40 and the Theory, which was out of 80. Do I HAVE to get an A* in each of these components to get an A*overall?

No not at all. Even if you fail paper 6, you can still get an A* as it is only worth 20% of the total grade. Paper 1 is worth 30% and paper 3 is the other 50%.
Then you just add these marks. That mark is what they will use to grade by aligning to the the appropriate grade that that mark falls into.
Tgank you so much for your response! I may be erong but are your sure that is correct? Why would the theory and multiple choice marks be multiplied by the same number if they are weighted differently. If you don't mind could you tell me where you got that formula? Thanks so much!

I got the formula from my teacher and friends too. Ifk why it's like that... But even my teachers have used the same formula to grade my mock exams. You're most welcome

Sorry if you feel like I am harrassing you! If I got 70/80 in theory, 24/40 in MC and 25/40 in ATP then according to your formula that means I got roughly 83%. This seems way too high!

It's fine:😂. But that's seems to be right. I had told you that even if you fail in paper 6, you can get the A*. So in this case, even thought you have just got above half the marks in paper 6(atp). You still get a high %; especially because you have done great in paper 3( theory paper). With that grade %, it's a sure A*! Don't really stress too much about it anyways- you have done great!😀

Thank you so much, you have been so kind. Did you sit the exam as well?☺
