A2 Edexcel Government and Politics - What Grades Do I Need - Rep Available

I got 224 / 300 in my AS which is a B. (A, B, C) were the unit grades.

What grade / marks do I need to get a B overall as A2.

Rep will be given.

Thanks

420/600 is B at A-Level, so 420 - 224 = 196. So 196/300 in the A2, which is a mid-C grade.

you need 196 UMS which in real terms is around BBC or a B and two good C's.

Now actual grade boundaires vary depending on what route you take but if you aim for somewhere around 52-55/100 on each paper thats BBB for your
A2 and would guarantee your B overall.

You need 420UMS in total. So you have 224 already. You need another 196. 196 is just above a mid-C at A2. Alternatively, if you were to go for an A, you'd need 256 at A2. 256 is 12 marks over an A at A2. Good luck!! :smile:

I recognise my post suggests you get slightly over a C, but I am working on the basis (and I tihnk I'm right) that unit 6 is weighted more than units 4 and 5so to be safe I'd aim for BB on units 4/5 and then a C at unit 6 should be fine
