Last year an A* was 164 so if they're going to be lowered it's not going to to 84/82.

And that's why i'm not getting an A* ahha :P Mean to say 80 for non calc and 82 for calc

Without a doubt they will be lowered however an A* will not be 79 per paper it'll be 84 for the calc and 82 for the non calc, something like that

If i revised AS maths during the holiday and asked them to test me on some modules and got good marks, would this show dedication and allow them to overlook my GCSE grade and let me do further maths???

158 sounds pretty darn close to an A*! If they see how good your marks are in these dodgy papers then I don't see why they should refuse you. Some people feel sick when doing GCSES or just have a moment of weakness so if you've consistently done well throughout the year, you'll be accepted for sure.

Haha, somehow i don't think it works like that however colleges do consider students on a case by case basis, so for my i needed a B in core science and a B in additional however I only achieved a C in my core last year therefore they said if i get an A in additional and support this with an A in history and geography (other subjects basically) then they would allow me to do the course due to my school not allowing me to re-take it this year.

Would 158/200 be an A star?? Really need an A star to do further maths

Please reply asap, i'm extremely stressed out

Don't stress too much because we have to wait till August 20th to get our result but anyway 158 is A grade. And hopefully this year the grade boundaries might be lower compare to last year therefore you may get A* grade.

Last year grade boundaries were 65% in both paper to get A in maths but this year the grade boundaries will be lower because everyone complained about paper 1. Hopefully you will get the grade you need.

thanks you too

I think i got around 50 on paper 1 and maybe 45 on paper 2. Any idea what this would be overall?

High C probably

My absolute minimum marks are 88 and 78, but i suspect they would actually be 92 and 85. Would my bare minimum marks still equate to an Astar, I am just taking into consideration if I get a harsh marker. I usually get 90s in paper 2 ergh. MY minimum overall marks will be 166 which seems to be borderline A*

Last year the grade boundary for an A was 133. I reckon it will be about 130 this year considering the media attention that edexcel got. You may have just missed out on the A but you never know you may get more method marks and the boundary could be even lower
