Hello 
I am hoping to do French at A level and I would like a high grade at GCSE. My controlled assessments vary from A's to B's and overall come out at a strong B, but the maximum I can get on my French exam is a C as all of my class are sitting the foundation paper due to not having a proper teacher for the past 14 months. So I would like to know what grade I would come out with if I get a C on my exam which is worth 40% of my final grade and my controlled assessments which are a B which are worth 60% of my final grade, would this equate to a B? I would be very happy with a B at GCSE.
Thank you

I guess you would come out with an overall C if not B depending on the grade boundaries.

It depends on the exact marks you get in the different units. Assuming this is AQA, you need 180UMS for a C overall and 210 for a B.

Thank you, this is very helpful. The exam board is AQA, do you know roughly how much a B (controlled assessment) is in UMS points? (Not exact, just a rough guide because you don't know my exact mark)
thanks

The writing controlled assessment is out of 90UMS, you need at least 63 for a B. The speaking is the same. (They convert the 2 assessments you have done, each out of 30 raw marks, into a mark out of 90UMS.

The AQA language conteolled assessments are out of 90. Last year, for full UMS marks you needed full raw marks.

would I still be able to get an A if all my controlled assessments are good and if I get pretty much full marks on the foundation papers?
