What's the UMS needed for an A* in AQA English Language?

I got 261 USM and was wondering if that's close to an A*

Oh thanks, do you think it's worth having it remarked considering English is a subjective GCSE?

You could if you wanted, but 9 UMS is a fair amount tbh. Personally I'd leave it - an A is brilliant.*
Got 265 UMS in Language.. awww...

I checked and 240 UMS is an A, so you needed roughly 3 more marks.

Thanks, Is it worth going for a remark because it seems really close but idk?

Yes I'm wondering the same thing because I'm 3 marks off an A* in English Language. If you're doing English related courses for A level, then I would get it remarked since English is a subjective GCSE, but you could always get marked down for it. I'm going to request the script back but not get it remarked because A is good enough for me.
