I did all of the modules that are in core science AQA (B1, C1, P1) and got an A* in each of them. Although, they were my lowest UMS scores across triple science so I would have only just got an a* if I did core
B1: 91/100 C1: 91/100 P1: 90/100
B2: 93/100 C2: 93/100 P2: 100/100
B3: 100/100 C3: 100/100 P3: 100/100
So, weirdly it is harder to get an A* in core than in each science (Chem, Phys, Bio) in triple.

It depends what UMS you got in your core science and how well you do in your triple science exams. If you get high A*s then you should get an A* overall. Anyway, it is easy to get 100 UMS in C3, B3 or P3 because the grade boundaries are so low - most schools rush these units to be ready for exams. This year, 100 UMS for P3 was 41/60 and A* was 36/60.

I was exactly the same - on track for 12 A*s - and got 11A*s and 1 A because of my English language. I got 61/64 in my mock and in my exam I got 39/64. Don't you just love pretentious markers? I'm getting mine remarked though.

Dude! Tell me about it, we have identical grades, woah! I got an A in english language too, my mock was far better than the real exam. Were you WJEC? Also are you applying to do medicine or something?
