AQA english lit AS confusion..

So at the start of the course we had to hand in 2 pieces of coursework, I can't remember my exact grade but I'm pretty sure it was around a B.

I've just looked on my exam results sheet and it states that for 'GCE english lit a unit 2' I got an A and then for 'GCE english lit a unit 1c' I got a D.
Therefore, on my results sheet it stated that I got a C overall.

However, I just realised that none of these marks are a B and thus leading me to question if my coursework was on the exam results sheet and when it stated I got a C overall for english did this count my coursework grade to? Or just the 2 exams.

Also, does anyone know the grade boundaries for grades? I got overall 135

Would ask my teacher but as its the summer holidays they're unavailable.

thanks guys!

You got an A overall for your coursework pieces, and a D on your exam.

5 UMS marks away from a B.

C = 120, B = 140, A = 160 overall.

Coursework: 64/80 = A, 56/80 = B, etc.

Exam: 96/120 = A, 84/120 = B, 72/120 = C, etc.

Raw mark boundaries can be found with a google search.
