yeah im trying to avoid silly mistakes...but the thing is i need an A* if i have to apply for uni...and my past papers werent too good...p.s. the fact that im doing a levels early, will it be a compensation for not getting A* if i wanna go to oxbridge?

Hmm, well if this is going to Maths then it won't matter, but if it is going to Further Maths, you ideally would want to get 90+ anyway. It just makes you stand out of the crowd really

well when you do apply, the chance of oxford asking for the A* is very likely. SO I would say that if this year you got say A*A*A/A*AA then you are in for a good chance.

Usually Oxford candidates usually get high grades so that would give them one less reason to reject you. But it also comes down to your interview technique and a good personal statement.

For the personal statement get it done early and get it checked by the personal statement helpers a few times.

But worry about your exam for today.

Well you can't get A* at AS level, but you can get really high A's

Here are the current econ courses at Oxbridge: http://www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/economics/index.html
