What's the deal with A*s?

Shuttup don't be so rude even if I am wrong and didn't understand it that doesn't give you the right to label me as 'thick' so stfu.

Nooope, all bar maths are out of 400 I think, which = 360 overall for an A* (with 90% in A2)

180/300 in AS (60%)

300/300 in A2 (100%)

480/600 Overall A level.

You're not taking maths are you?

338/400 is an A* as long as you got 90+% in A2.

Use punctuation, dear. And you're supposed to be an English student?

but that wouldn't be an A*? It's meant to average 80% overall (with the 90% at A2)

No

All my subjects are out of 600.

For the 400 subjects:

120/200 As (60%=C)

200/200 A2 (100= A*)

Overall 320/400 (80% = A)

Still an A* but C in As...You see now?

And for maths it's completely different when trying to get an A*...like you'd have to get an average of 90% in C3 and C4.

thick

Aah, ok yeah I get it - But then that makes it relatively easy to get an A* in a way doesn't it :\ Thanks for explaining

My God, you can have my next neg. .

am i not worthy of your neg, babe?

Biology and chemistry are definitely out of 600, not 400, for the whole A level.

Nope. You can get a B at AS and still get an A* overall. It's just 80% overall and 90% average at A2 units. So if you got 70% at AS and 90% at A2 you'd still get an A* because the overall average would be 80%.

You have made my week =D

I was really gutted with my psychology resit because it meant I had 79% overal, 80% needed for an A, and I probably won't get an A* but I was upset that I had totally wiped out the possibility of getting one
