Do any of you kind people know what the mark schemes are for the final grades. Like once all the exams are completed how much will be needed for a C,B,A,A* out of 400 or what ever the final score is. Can you guys please help I really need to know the answers and could you also tell me how much each exam is worth I really need your help guys. Thank you : ).

The total grade is out of 400: A*= 360 A= 320 B=280 C=240.
Each exam paper you take is worth 10% (40 marks) of the grade. They are as follows:

Biology: B2 Structured and B2 Multiple Choice
Chemistry: C2 As above
Physics: P2 As above

So that's 60% of you final grade so far. On top of this is something called an IAA ( Internally Assessed Activity) in each of the sciences, with each worth 10%
With the final 10% coming from your practical skills as assessed by your teacher.
