That seems a little low. I think all those marks would be for A grade not A*, but that's what i think.

Excuse me, did your teacher say it is the maximum marks for an A* or are they sure 100% that these marks will get you an A* especially in Physics I did horrible but 117 should get me an A*

Thanks for the info....do you know how the total marks for chemistry is 200 but when the total marks of each paper is added, we get 180. Then how is the total 200?
and how do we calculate our grade( which is out of 180) out of 200?

This is outdated, no use asking here.
Grade thresholds vary from year to year, depending on the separate components, variants, and the respective difficulty in the paper. And total raw marks for chemistry is 160, not 180 (P1=40, P2/P3=80, P4/P5/P6=40).
