OCR economics A*?

I got 80/100 in A2 units and 90/100 in AS units in ocr economics. Do I only need 20 more UMS from the A2 units to get an A*?

In order to get an A*, you need to average 90% across A2 units :yep:

I got 80% in A2 units, do you think it would be possible to get 90% if I did the remark or is it out of reach

For doing a remark, that's practically impossible. You could try and re-sit instead?

Depends on the Uni and the course. You can have a look online to see if the course pages mention anything about resits?

That also depends on the Uni. Most will ask for STEP in the same sitting as A-levels, but it might be worth getting in touch to make sure :smile:
