Did you take unit1 and unit2 exams in Biology, Chemistry and Physics? If so, then you will get separate grades in Science (the unit 1 exams) and in Additional Science (the unit 2 exams). So, if you got (for instance) 85% UMS in each of the unit 1 exams and 95% UMS in each of the unit 2 exams, then you would receive grade A in Science and grade A* in Additional Science.

(It is a bit more complicated than this, because the practicals count 25% towards each of the two GCSEs).
