The controlled assessment is 25% of the overall grade, and I got a B.
The teacher said it was in the middle of the grade.


Not specific enough. You'll need to provide UMS scores.

The teacher was unable to provide exact marks because they have not been externally moderated. I have the option of redoing the controlled assessment, which is why I ask.

Well then, in all fairness, it's impossible to say exactly how hard it is to get an A*. I can make some estimations, however. Say the whole thing is out of 400 and because this is worth 25 percent, it's out of 100. If it's a mid-range B then it's about 75/100. For an A* out of 400, you'll need 360/400, which is 90 percent. So you would need to get a minimum of 285/300 across the other modules in order to get the A*.
