Media studies

To Media studies students/ people that can convert the grades into ums
I got a A in the controlled assessment 72/90 (60%) what would I need in the exam on science fiction to get a A overall (40%)

Cheers

It depends on the grade boundaries, these are the grade boundaries for last year ( find the media studies one).

It's not too brutal and very doable

Um, it says on the pdf: 42 marks out of sixty for an A. Media studies is a breeze anyway, you'll do well dont worry.

Also, 37 marks out of sixty would still get you an A if you have an A in course work.

Idk what exam board you do, find your exam board and go on their grade boundaries for last year, then check what mark you need to get a B.
I've never done Drama so I don't know what it is supposed to be.
