Don't worry kiddo, if you get all A's in the subject and if you show a good understanding of the subject, you'll get an A*, and there is no threshold for A*
So cheer up! :Bravo: :Bravo: :Bravo:

Hey cheer up
Yes it is above 90%
But you know what exactly they mean
If you dont know I will tell you
Firstly this 90% is meant by 90% internationally and not the score
So if you have done well which is 60% in your score while the examination was damn hard then you are most probably to
get above 90% internationally
Hope you understood
If it is 90% in your score this means you are almost to 100% internationally

What he means is the threshold, see the 2010 downloads section

A* is the differnce between a A and a B, so if A = 80% and B= 70% then 80-70 = 10
So A*= 80+10 = 90

If it was 90% internationally, then only 10% of all people would get A*.. Thats not the case if you look at figures for A*s last year

A* is the differnce between a A and a B, so if A = 80% and B= 70% then 80-70 = 10
So A*= 80+10 = 90

is that for the individual components ?? or for the overall mark ?

Yes thats the right method and i guess individual components
