got 8 A*'s and 1 A
A*'s in bio, chem, physics, maths, english lit, english lang, geography and french
and an A in art :smile:)
Can someone please explain the Resistant Materials Grade Boundaries to me I'm a little confused. In my coursework I got 216 = A* and in my exam I got 134 = A but on the grade boundaries it says that the max mark for the coursework is 90 and you need 84 for an A* and the max for the exam is 120 and you need 96 for an A*. I'm looking to get it remarked but don't know how far away I am. Thanks in advance <3 xx

Hey I'm looking to apply to medicine at Cambridge and I got my results today.

I got 8A* 4As. I have a diverse range of extracurriculurs but I was wondering whether these results would at least give me a shot at medicine at Cambridge?

Cheers

Thanks! How do I find out how far away I am from an A*? xx Sorry :smile:
In my results I got:
English Language:B
English Literature: B
Religious Studies: B
Maths: C
Graphic Products: B
Drama: C
Science: B
Media: B
History: A

I'm honestly so happy with my results I was predicted all Cs except in Re and English. I'm only really disappointed with those two grades as I was only about one UMS marks off an A for both of those subjects, (I'm considering getting them remarked,) other than that I'm really happy.
Also I was getting Ds in History and I have somehow managed to get an A overall??

Can you not just go somewhere where it won't clash?

Unfortunately no :frown: my school is the only one in the area which offers computing which is the subject that is clashing.
Guys is it worth a remark? Because I came out the exam so confident! And also based on the unofficial mark schemes for maths I shouldve gotten a higher mark :frown: I got 2A* 6As 1B and a C.
I want to remark some of my units because they seem really wrong :frown:

These results are fine for Medicine at Cambridge, but your AS-Level results will be a lot more important
