Is b to A* possible? help needed.

[rammy97]

Like the title suggests, just looking for the answer to the question. I've read online that if you can get 90% or above in A2 your b in AS will turn into an A* but asking people in real life (students, teachers etc) they say its not possible even with above 90% in A2 and the maximum you can make out of a B is an A.

So im really confused and would appreciate any sort of help and/or advice. Jbtw I got 3A*s and 5As in o levels and 1a and 2bs in AS. The a is in biology and the bs are in chemistry and physics. Want to know if I can turn the bs into A*s next year.

It is 'possible', but very difficult to jump from B to A*. It also depends on your breakup. Like if you had good marks in P2 and P1 of chemistry and then in A2 you get GREAT marks in p3(which is 38% of whole A levels) then there is a chance of getting an A*. However you can fairly easily convert those Bs in As and as far as I know there is not much difference in A* and As

Recently, a boy in our school turned B into A* in physics. I have a B in physics only. I hope for the same.

Theoretically, it's possible to improve a D to an A*, but that would require almost full marks. Improving from B to A shouldn't be that difficult unless your B is really low (you can know this by component grades). For an A*, you'd need 20-30 marks more than the threshold for A in A2 to get an A*. The range depends on your components. Like if you have a couple of As in components and the threshold for P4+P5 is 80 then you'll need around 100 in these papers combined for an A*. If you two Cs in components then you'll need 110, which, obviously, is a little more difficult.

Dont have my break ups/component grades yet but THANKS ALOT both of you that really helped. There is nothing hard work can't achieve, just needed to know if it was practically possible. Thanks again

one of my friends turned her B in chem into an A* last oct/nov session so isA with hard work u can also get it!!
