Thank you so much!

I ended up with 7A*s 1A and 2Bs. One of the top in my school's history so I'm more than happy now that I think of it. Remarking that one B as its 1% off an A (add maths!).

Hi! You said that you got 1% off an A for AddMaths - what is the percentage boundary for an A in that case? I'm in a similar situation :smile:

Thanks!

It's not the percentage, but you have to be in the 80th percentile of all students in order to get an A. I'm in the 79th percentile, and I don't know exactly how many marks off of an A I am :/ It can be 1 but it can be 5..

So are you saying the boundary is 80%?

Both results online and results on paper are provisional UNTIL certification. Hope this helps and good luck/well done!

Sorry to be a bother, but do you know under which circumstances the results may change?

Hey, where do you check the your percentile? I also did ad maths and got an A. Just curious, if you dont mind, what percentage did you score?

It's the number next to your grade. 80+ is an A, 90+ is an A*. It does not mean that you got 90% id you're in the 90th percentile. You will never really find out how well you did, just how you compare to the rest of the world

Congrats!!! You should be proud :smile:

Did you also find the marking for English lit rather harsh? I got an A despite rarely dropping down from an A*. Some of my friends went from a predicted A* to a D or so.

How much do they usually give out in terms of percentile? Like 1-2%?

Not necessarily. You have to be better than the 80% of people who took the exam to get an A. To know the actual boundary you have to wait for the grade thresholds
