How to get an A* in the reformed A-levels?

I got AAAA this year, i was wondering what I need to get an A* in reformed A-levels next year since there are no more "modules"...

As you are probably aware there is no ums in linear subjects anymore, just raw marks. The people who set the grade boundaries will set a raw mark boundary for A*, A, B, C etc. And if the total mark from all your papers meet the A* boundary then you get an A*

Apart from the raw mark there really isn't anything else to go off, becasue the UMS for linear subjects doesn't exist anymore. :biggrin:
