Yes of course they will A and A* from a year ago have been considered as different.the old B grade is now the A grade and the old A grade is now A* so you get the difference.Just hope that no one is that exceptional and scores like very high marks and the rest can be relied on percentile but dont just stop studying when you hear this :lol:

Sorry, but you are wrong.
A* is just an addition to CIE grading scale. A-Grade has exactly the same value as it was before the introduction of A*.
Candidates who got A's in their previous exams cannot just make this presumption that 'their A's are now counted as A*'s in accordance with the new grading system'.

SO previously A was 90 right but now A* is 90 so it has taken the place of A and therefore A has lost its value !! :)
