English lit AQA

Hey ,

Im looking for an A* in Lit if i can. I got around 51/54 average in my courseworks overall.

How much do u reckon i need in the exam to get an A* overall? I know that the notational boundaries are 25/27 and 33/36 for A* in the exam but i know due to UMS this changes.

What do u reckon i need in the exam to get an A*? Thanks

Can i get advice from people who previously took their GCSEs and know what the usual boundary is to get an A* out of 200 (UMS)

please?lol

They're flexible. Only way your going to find out is when you open your results in August :frown:

Last year it was 175 for an A* and 152 for an A. UMS is NOT used in AQA GCSE English however, the raw marks are just scaled up using a weighting factor to achieve the subject mark which changes.

If it was converted to uniform marks the UMS boundaries would not change.

Same here. I don't think I've got one though. Pretty sure that my exam was a middle highest B grade, even though I got 54/57 in my coursework. Overall it's probably going to be an A :frown:

I answered all the questions correctly but I dont think my points were just killer enough. I just think that if i can get a mid-high A in the exam i can get an A* overall....... dunno 3 months to wait!!!!!!!!
