I got AAA at triple, and dropped chemistry after getting an E at AS

A*A*B with a B in physics.
I got like full marks in physics until the final exam where I got 37/100 or something and brought it down to a B.

But it doesn't reflect much. I know people who've got a D in chemistry a level after getting A*'s at gcse and others getting an A at a level after getting A at gcse.

Triple A*A*A*

It just takes a bit of extra work and lots of practice, then it's no harder than anything else

double: BB

A*A*A*A* in four GCSE sciences 1198/1200 UMS overall (lost 2 UMS in physics coursework because I was not available to do a proper copy of my draft...)

As for AS Chemistry, trying to attain high 90 UMS (my goal) is undeniably hard for anyone but relatively speaking to achieve an A, I would say that it is pretty straightforward.

When it's out of 300 it isn't!

Certificate appears to disagree with me.
Unit 1 (C1,2,3) 96/100 UMS
Unit 2 (C4,5,6) 96/100
Coursework 93/100
So only dropped 15UMS.

You need 270/300 for an A* in GCSE chemistry.

I know I only did double award (all my school offered) but I didn't drop a single mark in Chemistry... It's not really hard enough to be worth a boast.

Did you do triple or Double Science?
What grade did you get? (GCSE)

A* A* double award -> A*at chemistry A2 :smile:

Edit: Justs saw people bragging about unit marks and thought to myself gota get in on that 100% at GCSE 100% at alevel on written exams lost 5 marks across the 2 years in cw... Last year I got a place at kings college cambridge to study natural science. Boom.

Double: BC

Now aiming for an A* at A2 :smile:

I don't think it matters on GCSE grades. It's more about motivation.

I got 300/300. Now can you stop trying to show off.

Double, A*A* (got like 97% (dropped on Biology) first year then 100% second year if you care at all)

I think it's quite easy, takes a bit of work but there aren't any concepts that are particularly difficult. As long as you think logically and are good at maths it'll be easy :smile:

No, nobody cares.
Thanks.

I did triple, got A*A*A. (A for biology)
A level is so much more different though. Just because of a high grade at GCSE doesn't mean you will breeze through AS. You actually have to use brain power for A level!
