Urhm yeh im in Yr 12 doing maths and im doing physics but i didnt do M1 but S1 instead. Next year for my applied module its compulsory for me to do S2 but thats okay because i dont think im taking physics to next year as its not really relevant for dentistry/medicine. I was wondering whether if I do S2 i need to get 90ums but if i do M1 (i know about half the syllabus from physics + self teaching) i need 80ums for an a* as its an AS module. Basically if i sit S2 and M1 but say i get 87ums in S2 and 85ums in M1, i would want M1 to count as i would have a higher chance of an a*. But would edexcel use my S1 result instead of my M1 result as it is higher? Hope this makes senseThanks

You only need an average 90 over C3 and C4 -

Not for A level maths.
For A level maths you need 80% mean and 180/200 in Core 3 and Core 4. -

For an A* in Further Maths, yes. For normal Maths, you only need 90 average across C3 and C4 and an average of 80% across all 3. -

if you do s1 s2 and m1 then they would use the best combination of
s1+s2 or s1+m1
note - this applies to the majority of boards
I think there is one board (an international one) that acts differently (including what is needed for an A*) so which board are you? -
