    i looked on the ums thing and it only says grade bounderies up to A on business, but A*s on most other things.
    so does this mean that you can't get an A*?

    thanks

    Is this gcse or AS level business?

    If AS level, A* is not available until A2

    If GCSE, A* is available, you may be looking at the wrong thing possibly
