GCSE grade boundaries??

Basically I want an A* in the following subjects:

* EDEXCEL History - (25% coursework) - I got "1 mark off an A"
* WJEC Geography - (25% coursework) - I got (39/50) = high B/low A?
* AQA English Literature - (30% coursework) - I got low A/mid A/A*

Therefore what would I need in my exams to ensure I get an overall A* for all these subjects?

If for example you got 24/30 UMS for a piece of coursework, you would need 66/70 UMS for the exam to secure an A*. A* just needs 90UMS if I remember, so just calculate what UMS you need to bump the overall up to 90.

I just did it ^^. If you got 20/25 UMS for coursework. Then you would need 70/75 UMS in your exam to attain 90 overall. Do the same with your values.
