What grade am I on ?

Hi, I know that edexcel will try to give you the best possible grade but assuming that these are my results , what grade am I looking at ? Since M3 is really holding me back I was hoping It can be moved to my normal maths so I can get an A* in FM and A/B in maths ?
Please don't comment on FP3 being higher than FP1/2.

C1: 90%
C2: 93%
C3: 85%
C4: 85%
Fp1: 90%
Fp2: 80%
Fp3: 95%
M1: 82%
M2: 95%
M3: 0 ( too hangover that day )
S1: 80%
S2: 100%

Probably, but a U/E doesnt count towards anything does it ?

i'm pretty sure it does, you pay for the exam, the exam boards are a service to you, so if they don't count it you aren't getting your money's worth.:redface:

Did you get A in A level maths? Just wondering. Because if I do okay in M2, I should get A in level maths and I plan on smashing FM next year. I was too lazy this year

Seeing as you won't get the A* in maths, I'm sure they'd put in what they can to get you an A as low as possible. But not M3.

A Level Maths:
C1-4
M1 S1

A Level Further Maths:
FP1-3
M2-3
S2

460

So you need 20% in M3 to get an A* in fm! Reckon you got that?

I did C1, C2, C3, C4, M1 and M2. Next year I am doing (hopefully if I get an A) FP1, FP2, FP3, S1, S2, S3/M3.

I know M2 can be taken into account for FM modules, but I was wondering whether something like S1/M1/S2/M2 can considered for BOTH A level maths AND FM? Like can I count my ums for 1 of those modules for 2 separate A levels?

No.

That'd be stupid.

Damn. But what if I did really good in S2 next year and I wanted to swap it for M2? Would I be allowed to do that? Or does edexcel automatically change out the modules to give the best grades?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh if I knew that a U would still count towards the final grade I would have actually attempted the paper rather than falling asleep, fingers crossed I suppose

and lets say I did get 0% does that mean its a B in FM (since 460/600) ? -_- 20% is the difference from an A* to a B ?

Well you'd need M1 and S1 together or both mechanics or both stats
