Should I Retake?

Okay, so I'm aiming for an A* in physics, chemistry and biology.

These are my results for each so far:

Chemistry

Unit 1: 100/100 UMS A*
Unit 2: 87/100 UMS A
Unit 3: ?/? (Summer 2013)
ISA: 45/50 A*

Biology

Unit 1: 93/100 UMS A*
Unit 2: 92/100 UMS A*
Unit 3: ?/? (Summer 2013)
ISA: 42/50 A?

Physics

Unit 1: 88/100 UMS A
Unit 2: 91/100 UMS A*
Unit 3: ?/? (Summer 2013)
ISA: 42/50 A*?

So, I'm pretty safe for chemistry, but I'm a bit concerned about the chance of me getting an A* in biology and physics due to my ISAs. Additionally, my physics teacher said 42/50 was definitely an A* in the ISA, do you think that's correct?

Finally, what do you think I should do for each subject to ensure I achieve the A*?

Thanks.

I think that your best chance of getting an A* in both physics and biology is just working really hard towards p3 and b3. I don't think you need to resit p2 or b2. Your chemistry should be fine because your marks look very high for that so well done!
also i think that 42 is an a* for physics isa because i remember I got 41 and was annoyed because I was only a mark from an A*.
Hope this helps!
