Are A*AB good A level grades?

rexs2000

They are brilliant results but honestly it depends on what you aiming for.
If you applying most places you will get in however oxbridge maybe not.
Be proud of whatever you get.

Some people on here are so arrogant. To the user aspiring to study medicine, even after being corrected you still use "their" incorrectly. It is slightly amusing to see someone dismiss A*AB as not being good enough in their opinion, yet use grammar incorrectly and spell "personally" as "persenally". Just something to consider.

Why did you want to study Medicine?
I want to study Medicine, same is applicable if someone wants to study engineering, if people want something they will work hard to get there, and yes I really do want to become a doctor and...

cos it seems fun/altruism and nah I just didn't understand why you had to mention that you're a wannabe medic and had to bold 'medicine' lmao in your post

I'm also a medical student and completely agree with this and what @sortmeoutgeezer said

Seems fun (smh), I put Medicine in 'bold' because that was the reason I didn't think A*AB weren't good for me personally :smile:

Why are you shaking your head? It does seem fun. Please explain what's wrong with that? I obviously do have a solid actual answer to 'Why medicine?' otherwise I wouldn't get 4 offers would I? :smile:

Do you know what, I'm going to leave it here because you and some other users just can't accept reasoning and opinions, you post on here something that some people don't agree with and there you go, instant backlash lol :biggrin:

Oh and you know why I shaked my head :wink:

Hi there.

An A*, an A and B are fantastic grades. I hope you are proud of them.

Ahahaha how are there people asking questions like this when I have ACD. You don't know what ashamed feels like!

They are kind of funny grade... Low for the top (A*AA, AAA) but high for the low (AAB). Hardly see courses with A*AB...
But they are good I suppose.

Yeah, it's kind of a weird combination. The only course I can think of with A*AB requirements is Bath for maths if you have a 2 in STEP.

Considering most top unis offer around AAB- A*AA and they're in that region I would say they're excellent. Ignore the haters who haven't even started their A levels yet and are judging by GCSE standards

GCSE don't predict you well for A levels at all

They are definitely great A level grades OP, but for me personally, I wouldn't want those grades as it limits me to AAB (maybe AAA?) universities.

It's alright, I got A*AA and I don't think that's particularly great since most people I know got A*A*A or A*A*A* , but it depends on who you compare yourself too
I'd say AAA would probably be better than A*AB since it shows that you're good at three subjects instead of two
