    Thanks Coursework grade boundaries: 60% C 70% B 80% A 90% A*?
    yh I think that's what they are roughly. They can go up or down one or 2 percentage though.

    I can confirm that the OP is 100% correct in his marks. That is exactly how the exams are laid out.

    I personally am doing English (not language), but still do that same exam, though the coursework (controlled assessments) are slightly different. They have a 60% weighting, of which I have an A* in both controlled assessment units. (85/90, 41/45). I think I only need a B in this to obtain an A overall. ( Or an A to obtain an A* overall, but of course an A* would be preferred ;] )

    But alas, I'm aiming for an A. Does anyone have any tips on anything, generally? I really haven't had much exam practise, so don't really know how to handle each question :s
    Isn't the coursework out of 120?

    My teacher said I got a low 'B' in my coursework, can that change due to the national marks? And how much can that Change?
