A in A level Maths?

Does anyone know what UMS I need to get an A in edexcel A level Maths?
I've just done AS and got 90% UMS, surely this means i don't need that high UMS in A2?
Thanks

true but sometimes it puts a lot of pressure.

So aim for A work hard and end up with A*?

AS is half the marks.
So you need 70% at A2 to get an A

You can easily calculate what UMS marks you need for an A. For edexcel, if you have 90%, which i'm equating to 270/300 UMS, then for an A at A2 you need 480 UMS out of 600. So that means for A2 you only need 210 UMS over your 2 papers, which is easy.
