Could you please post your actual module marks for the exams you have done and the coursework. This will make calculations easier and make is possible to determine if you can achieve A/A* grades but looking at your results so far I think you *might* be able to get an A if you sit a higher exam?

If you can't sit a higher exam for any of your module then I don't think it would be possible to get an A as far as I understand if the system is similar to the DT one.

First you can't get an A if you dont sit Higher Tier, regardless of getting A/A*s in your coursework. If you done higher for the final exam then MAYBE you would get an A, but I have to tell you that the Algebra is A LOT harder in higher than intermediate! I found most of the algebra could be done in your head for intermediate, but Higher takes time.

766 is definatly an A, taking that 666 is an A. For an A*, you would need to get AT LEAST 877.

To be honest, my school only puts people in for higher if they plan to do A Level Maths, so unless your planning to, then stay with intermediate. All you need is a C anyway!

You would need to sit more than 1. I think it's what [aper you sit at the Final Exam that determains the A/A* grades... considering ou get high marks in all the modules...
