For A* you need to fulfill 2 criteria

1. Overall it should be more than 80% which is more than 480/600
2. For A2 you should get more than 90% that is more than 270/300.

But the coursework isn't an exam. The cheating that goes in schools inflates the grade boundaries a lot :frown: and they give you the mark scheme. I'd prefer 2 exams only as the coursework tends to drag down grades due to very high grade boundaries :frown: and only 2 exams makes the A2/AS course be shorter and simpler and quicker.


I see,
For me no coursework cause I am international. :biggrin:
We have the unit 8 paper which is pretty easy.:smile:

May I ask, what textbooks do you use?

Erm...
I don't use any textbooks for physics. I think they are crap. I think only the "How Science Works" sections in the endorse textbook is cool, the other stuffs are not really focused on the actual exam :frown:

Tutor notes, past papers and markshemes, specification and examiners reports are the only materials I used.:smile:
