Can I still get the A level if one paper is missed?For one of my subjects, Ive taken 3 papers (%75) and 1 more is remaining. Getting an A would be out of the question obviously but do you think this is still enough to pass?

Well this is CIE so i dont know if ums applies here. And the grades wont be available till august, but they should be above average, at least

Re: Can I still get the A level if one paper is missed?I think you have to sit the paper anyway so that you actually get the A-level qualification. If all the units are equal weighing then you would get a D as 225/400 is above 50%(Original post by vakanuvis)
basically i dont know its content, if i were to take it (which is in 2 hrs) i would give it back blank.

Re: Can I still get the A level if one paper is missed?when's the paper? because if its tomoro or something then it might be worth revising a few sections and getting a few marks...anything is better than 0
tbh pretty much any subject you can think of will have at least a few marks in a paper that can be gotten without even any revision...sit the paper!
