Does anyone have tips for descriptive writing?

It depends on your coursework. I'm looking for about 28 marks to get a B and around 17 for a C.

Can anyone tell me how many marks I'd roughly need on the exam for an A* please (I do 0522)?

I got 47/50 for coursework and 30/30 for speaking.

Thanks! :smile:

well i was working it out today

the total igcse is out of 130 (80 for CW& Speaking and 50 for the exam).
Following conventional rules 80% shuld be an A which is 104/130

but then again i heard the grade boundaries are quite low

In my school, we did I mock and, using last year's grade boundaries, I was given an A* with 108 marks (I'm not completely sure but I think it was 106 needed for the A*).
