Hi I'm doing GCSE English Language by Edexcel and I have an A for speaking and listening and a B for my coursework. what is the lowest possible mark I can get in my English exams to still get a C overall if we assume I got the lowest possible A and B.

Thanks in Advance

Look on the Edexcel website and take a look at the specification. It should say how much the speaking and listning is worth, how much the courseworks are worth and how much the exams are worth. From there on, you will be able to work out what grade you need to get a C.

For example. If speaking &listening is worth 20% and the coursework is worth 30% and the exam is worth 50%, you will need a low D to scrape a C.

S&L+CW=50%=Low A and Low B=High B
Exams=50%=Low D
Final=Low D+High B=Mid C

Just a word of advie. Dont aim for a C in English if you got A and B in coursework. Obviously if you were capale of getting a A/B in S&L/CW then your more than capable of getting an A or B overall. You just have to get your head down and work that little bit harder
