    AQA - How do you get an A*?
    Hey,

    I'm aiming for an A* in Government and Politics for AQA and was wondering if anyone knew what the 'criteria' for getting an A* are? Like, do you need to get 90% overall or....?

    Thanks!

    For me it was 90% in one and 80% in another (so either AS or A2 as they're equally weighted).

    For AQA I think it's always the same of, you need to get an A grade overall (so 80%) and also get 90% over your A2 grades to get the A*.
