If you don't mind me asking, why do you think you have messed up?
Remember, your coursework gets added to whatever you got in the exam as well, and if you messed up some of the calculations, you may be able to get some marks for your working out :smile:

thanks,
yep, my coursework was good,
but, i just had a feeling i messed up (not the first time).

I got 40/40 in my coursework, but I think I lost like 16 marks on the paper, would that still be an A*?

yes I agree with this. 85/100 raw marks will convert to about 90-95 % UMS. Also, the boundary for A* on the coursework was 30/30 (I saw this on another thread but it sounds true). Well done mate ;]

OBVIOUSLY!! If you got 25%, and then 84/100 (which will usually convert to about 90-95 UMS marks) then that's obviously an A* lol. That's close to 100% overall, well done ;]

I hope it is 30/40, that would be great. I got 34 so hopefully that will be good :smile:

No problem...
I know exactly the feeling you are getting, In some of my exams in January, I had the feeling I messed up too. On one of my RE papers, I thought I failed it because I messed up my timing, and didn't think what I wrote was good enough to get the higher grades, but I ended up coming out with an A for the paper. Then, I did a Spanish listening paper and thought that it went okay, but not as well as I would have liked to because my target grade was an A* and then I ended up coming out with an A* for my listening paper and overall. I was being far too harsh on myself.
So, maybe... you could still get a good grade.
If your coursework is good then that will get added to whatever you got on the paper and you could still get the grade you want.
I am sure you've done great, honestly... -fingers crossed-... Try not to let it bother you too much and enjoy the longest summer holiday you have ever had in your life so far :smile:
