Potentially.

Where are you sitting you A levels? If you're in England then the AS result has no impact on your A level result, which is a stand-alone qualification.

However, outline England, your AS result provides 40% of the marks for you A level. So the marks from that D, combined with whatever mark you obtained in the A2 exams (in a 40:60 split), might have left you below the E grade boundary. You won't know for another 10 days, unfortunately.

For Wales and for Northern Ireland you're right it's a 40:60 split AS:A2
For international A levels it's a 50:50 split

There are too many unknown factors at play, I'm afraid, to make any kind or prediction.

Well, in March 2023, 5.5% of Physics International A levels were ungraded - i.e. U. So, based upon that information alone, you have a 5.5% chance of a U.

This is from Cambridge International, here. You can find the same stats from other exam series here.
