Confusion about grade boundaries and the grades I've been given

You need 270 UMS from A2 for an A*. So it's possible to have 90+% average across the entire A-level with AS being better than A2 and the A2 average being less than 90% thus not meeting the A* criteria.

Hey! normally wouldn't post but i'm about to ring UCAS because i'm confused slightly about my grades. I ended up with AAB which i was pretty happy with but it throws a spanner in the works a bit with medicine, and looking over my results sheet, i'm kinda suspicious, my results were:

Biology= 554/600 (A) AQA
Chemistry= 508/600 (B) OCR Salters B
Maths= 508/600 (A) OCR

what i'm confused about is biology and chemistry, working out the ums as a percentage, it looks like i got 92.3% but i would think this was an A*, idk if im just being salty, and chemistry looks like i got 79.5%, and if 80% was the cut off for an A i would want to go for remarking, do you guys think it is worth investigating, or do any of you know the exam board boundaries?

If you do have 508/600UMS then you have an A at least as you only need 480 for an A. Check your arithmetic.

Hey, I got AAB too for Med

Did you get a place in the end? If not, what were you thinking of doing now?

nah i didn't get a place, i'm now doing biomedical science at sheffield, then medicine after that hopefully
