Gee Thanks .-.

Geography: You got the full 25% for your Controlled Assessment:

-Both of the papers are worth 37.5%
I take it you want an A*?
You only need 65% combined from both papers for an A

Generally, You need 50s in Both papers for An A*

Business: I don't know how it works so I can not help you there,

English Literature: Since you are doing one Exam, it means your Exam will be worth 60% and C.A 40%
You've got the full 40% so you need only 50% to get an A*
Therefore you would need 68 Marks to get an A*

French:
You've got full marks which means 60% of your french GCSE.
This means you need only 30* for an A*
You could either get 15% from Both exams or 25% and 5%, but I will do 15% in both.
In reading, You will need:
35 In listening and about 38 in reading for a safe A*

Pm me and I shall calculate your Science's for you.

Haha thanks, in french I'm good at reading but can't get past an A in listening. I really want a * in all my units, but i think listening and english language will let me down. Anyways thanks for taking the time and sorry it was so long haha

Drama Unit one result - 97/120 (B) 60% of my grade
Other 40% is the written paper
I would love an A, what will I need to get to get an A overall? (I know it will be high)

Biology Aqa gcse,
I got a rubbish grade in my ISA , I got a C with 34 or something out of 50. I've been working so hard for my real exam but I keep losing motivation thinking that I won't get a good grade in the real thing because my teacher marked my controlled assessment harshly. What would I need in b1 b2 and b3 to get an a* overall?

40% of your English Literature is for Unit 1 Exam which is Exploring Modern Texts
35% of your English Literature is for unit 2 exam which is Poems
25% (as u stated) is for the Controlled Assessment.

Since you got 31/40, this equates to roughly 19% (rounded).
An A* is 90% or more, so 90%-19* = 71*
The total for both Exams is 75% so it means you can not lose more than 4% in both of the Exams combined
In the Exams the max marks you can get is 68 and 54.
These add up to 122

To summarise the next point, You can get a low A* with A low A* in the exam, however one of them would have to be a strong A*

(97/120)*60 = 48.5%
An A is 80%, So you would need (80-48.5) 31.5% in the written paper.

The paper is 80 marks, so 80*68.5% = Lowest mark needed for an A
You need a 55/80 to get an A overall

I'm sorry, I do not know how triple science works.

Very Nice Drama GCSE :smile:

Your Drama GCSE is 58.5%!!!!!!!!!!!
This means you need 31.5% /40% for an A*

Since it is out of 80, you would need 55/80 for an A*

34 is 63UMS. This means you'd need 297 UMS over the three papers for an A*. This is 99/100UMS for each paper. So if the paper is hard, 99 UMS could be as low as say 53 marks, but it is usually higher than this. Good luck anyway

Last one for the day:

Coursework is worth 25% and you got 22%
Papers one and 2 are both 37.5% so the total for both of them should add up to 68% or more.
The Total amount for the papers are 75 and 84
This adds up to: 159
You need 68% or more of 159 to get an A*
This means you can not lose more than 48 marks from both papers in total for an A* minimum.....

THAT IS ALL FOR TODAY! IF YOU NEED MORE DONE FOLLOW ME AND PM ME AND I SHALL DO MY BEST TO RESPOND.
If someone wants to take up the challenge of calculating and stuff then frell free

It wouldn't hurt too do one more right?

Speaking and Writing are worth 30% of your final GCSE, so I shall halve both of your marks to get the percentage.

Speaking = 24.5%
Writing = 26%

Total = 50.5 %

Generally, you need 80% for an A, so 80%-50.5% =29.5%

The reading and Listening could for 20% of GCSE each.

They both total to 85 (total marks)
Since you need 29.5% of everything for an A

Basically, You should not lose more than 26 Marks in both of them and you will Guarantee yourself an A. If you want an A* then you would need 39.5% which is basically full marks in both of them.

That's all for today people. PM ME if you really want me to Calculate and I shall once I wake up or something.

i got 60% of my french GCSE at an A*. i'm most likely going to get a C in the reading and a U in the listening do you know what this would be overall if they are both worth 20% each?
Hey man. Don't know if ya still doing this, but if you are can you help me out?

Biology- Unit 1=48/50, Unit 1=38/50 Will be aiming for high A/A* for both papers.
Chemistry - Unit 1=41/50, Unit 1=44/50 Will be aiming for high B/A for both papers.
Physics - Unit 1=43/50, Unit 2 = 43/50 Will be aiming for A* for both papers.
English - Not entirely sure but I know i got a merit. Will be aiming for B/ Level 6 (lit and lang)
French - Speaking =21/30, Writing =22/30 Aiming for A*, but happy with an A overall.
Geography - 44/60 Will be aiming for A in both papers.
