    On Question 23, if you included working out which includes some of the equations in the model answer working out, then how much credit would you get for it?

    Why are you keep asking if your marks is good enough for a certain grade. No one knows and no one can predict it because this exam is weird. Just wait till they release the boundaries.

    Honestly, you're a moron, you claim to have gotten those high marks which is 93% yet you are not sure whether it's an A*? You're either really stupid or simply lying about what you got seeing as it was 80% for an A* in the November series.
