It's possible to get a B if you get an A preferably A* in your exams but it also appends if it was a D+ or D- you got in your coursework

Hey, you need to be a bit more specific. Are you doing GCSE or A/AS Level? This will help people respond better to your question :smile:
You should be able to get a B since coursework only accounts for 20% of the GCSE (unless you're not taking the AQA course lol).

I think the controlled assessment is 25% of the GCSE, which means the difference between a B and a D grade is only 5% of the total marks available (the max you could have scored of that 25% is 14.5%). Based on that it is still possible to get an A.
