    Pretty sure that's A*

    But anyway did your teachers give that to you in secret? My teacher for my AQA Graphics coursework says we aren't allowed to see them...?

    Exactly, our teacher said the same thing to us. It's annoying 'cos I really want to know. I think 'officially' you're not supposed to know, but eff that.

    Nope, she told the whole class their grades after she mark them. The coursework is out of 90 right? What mark do you think is an A?

    Did you get a sheet which told you all the mark boundries and what you need to do to achieve them in each section? If so you could probably work it out from there

    I am going to try and persuade my teacher to give the mark to me. I'll do it like after school, probably then he'll tell me what mark I got.

    You need to be a few marks into an A* for the exam to get an A overall.

    lol I remember this exam. I got like a B on my exam but got like 100% on cw. Got an A overall
    for the exam just revise the content.

    Also theres nothing wrong with a B, especially if it means a lot less work. It wont come back to bite you in the ass like a levels

    I think it's a 60:40 split for the cw and exam respectively.

    Yes is the answer
