    Can I still get an A*?
    I do A level Film Studies (inb4 'lol film studies')

    At AS I got 59 / 80 on my coursework and 100 / 120 on the exam (Coursework was 40%)

    At A2 I am expected to get 88 / 100 on my coursework (now worth 50%)

    So can I still achieve an A*, if so what UMS would I need on the final exam?

    Thanks

    I presume the whole thing is out of 400.
    You'll need 92/100 for an A*

    It won't matter what grade you get in film studies, has little significance

    Anyway I think it's 92/100

    Only a matter of time before this cropped up.
