Hi!

Well done on your coursework! That’s around 70% on your coursework

I would say your A mostly depends upon your exams due to the way English A level is marked

To sum it up it is marked like this:

- coursework is about 20% of your A level grade, you have scored really well in this so you have around 15% towards your final grade

- exams are 80% of your A level grade

In terms of your A and if that’s possible I would say definitely! make sure you revise heavily and really go for it in the exam! Considering you already have around 15% and an A is around 80% of marks throughout the whole A-level it leaves you needing 65% worth of marks!

You will also need your answers to match the band 4 or 5 for markers (the top bands can be seen on the OCR A level website I believe just google it!)

Hope this helps lovely! I wish you the best of luck!!

Katy,
