How to get an A* edexcel maths

Yes.

wait, so you can get 80% average in AS and 90% average in A2 and end up with a*? soz im confused lol

You can get the following grades and end up with an A*:

C1 - 75
C2 - 75
C3 - 90
C4 - 90
M1 - 75
S1 - 75

The total needs to be 480/600 with a combined score of 180 in C3 and C4.

It's harder than it looks though, especially considering Edexcel's January Grade Boundary for an A* in C4 was 72/75 for 90 UMS and 69/75 for 80 UMS.

Yep, the GB took the piss. I got 66/75 in that exam and that was a B. S2 had similarly high grade boundaries. High grade boundaries simply test whether you can execute an exam without making silly mistakes rather than testing your knowledge. Hoping for a proper C4 exam in June.

I think it's the same situation for AQA, OCR and Edexcel to get an A*. The only difference is OCR and AQA give you poper exam papers for maths.

Now I'm getting confused. I'm doing Edexcel Maths and I asked my teacher about getting A*. He said that I need to get above 90 on ALL A2 Units ! (Including M2)
So this is my situation:
C1: 100
C2:89
S1:89
C3:90

This year I'm not doing S2, I'm doing M2 instead (because there was a stupid clash in my timetable if I wanted to do S2). But I'm also doing M1 in June and retaking C3 to improve my grade. Assuming I can't improve my C3 grade, what grades do I need to get in C4, and M1 to get A*. Can I even get an A* by doin S1 and M1 or do I have to do M2?
Thanks

dyu know if the exams will continue in the same format, with 69 as the grade boundary for an A grade or are they going to change? will they continue with a high boundary such as 69 for A2 papers?

I got an A* grade after completing my papers this Jan, and I'm currently doing FP2 and FP3, and working on hard and lengthy questions and also doing alot of repetition. For easy papers repetition is the key. Even for hard sums, sometimes doing them over and over again countless number of times ensures things in a really easy paper with a high grade boundary.

Any idea if this will continue? The last grade boundaries were around 67/68 for a 90, for FP2/3. I doubt that it will be the same this year. It'll prolly go upto 72! take a look. FP2 and FP3 are June only units and they may or may not be arranged the same way. I feel there will an increase since last year as there was for C4 and others.

wow that seems easy yh, but considering the grade boundaries it looks hard. Definately do-able tho.. Can you do that on AQA or do you need 90% average across all the modules??

If you take S2 do you have to get 90% in that as well for A*???
