I have gotten solid A*'s in all my mocks throughout the whole of year 10 and so have many of my friends however come the real exam none of us have gotten any and i'm left here with an A? Has anyone gotten an A*?
I did all of the modules that are in core science AQA (B1, C1, P1) and got an A* in each of them. Although, they were my lowest UMS scores across triple science so I would have only just got an a* if I did core

So, weirdly it is harder to get an A* in core than in each science (Chem, Phys, Bio) in triple.
If i do the rest of my triple science exams next year, and i got A* in the both of them, would by total be up to an a*? I hate that ugly A on my report

It depends what UMS you got in your core science and how well you do in your triple science exams. If you get high A*s then you should get an A* overall. Anyway, it is easy to get 100 UMS in C3, B3 or P3 because the grade boundaries are so low - most schools rush these units to be ready for exams. This year, 100 UMS for P3 was 41/60 and A* was 36/60.
i am in the same position but how do they add all the grades for each different subject and how do they include the isa or do u get a grade for core additional and further additional

You may need to cash in your grades as Biology, Chemistry, Physics rather than Core, Additional and Further Additional if you don't want to have an A at a GCSE though.

I was exactly the same - on track for 12 A*s - and got 11A*s and 1 A because of my English language. I got 61/64 in my mock and in my exam I got 39/64. Don't you just love pretentious markers? I'm getting mine remarked though.

Good luck with it. Once, my teacher marked a physics mock and gave me a C and they had added the score up wrong, it was an A*. So, it could just be a clerical error; they happen more often than you'd think.

Dude! Tell me about it, we have identical grades, woah! I got an A in english language too, my mock was far better than the real exam. Were you WJEC? Also are you applying to do medicine or something?

If you've cashed in your Core (which you have if you've got a result) you won't be able to use these units for triple science.

I did edexcel and I'm hoping to do either economics or maths at Cambridge so the extra A* won't make that much difference. It's just annoying because I'm so close - 3 marks in english.
