A* at A-Level (Maths)?

Guys, so if you were going to get an A* at A-level, specifically A-level Maths, would you need a 90 UMS average across all the exams? Like every exam in the AS and A2 modules?

(because well C1 today... ughhhh)

No, you need an A overall, and average 90ums in Core 3 and 4.

I don't do maths but I think it's the same. I think you need to get at least 80 UMS across all AS modules and then 90 UMS across all A2 modules. It might be different for maths though:smile: I heard the exam was tough today!

This is a really good tool.
I was just playing around with it and you can get as low as 60 UMS marks in C1 as long as you get about 90 in the other modules and you can still get an A* overall.

480 total UMS from all 6 modules, with 180 coming from C3 and C4 alone
