You need an A in C1, C2 and M1.

You need to get a combined total of AT LEAST 180 UMS points in C3 and C4 and at least 90 UMS points in M2.

This guarantees an A*.

On your report card it would appear as a point system.

So it would say M2 = 80

The 80 represents 80 UMS points out of 100.

Ari Ben you said i need 90 UMS for m2, my teacher told me i got 76 so does that mean my chance of getting an A* is gone even if i get high 90s in c3 and c4

I've done the math and you would need a minimum of 97 UMS points in C3 and and 97 UMS points in C4 to get an A*.

Think you can do that ?

I would suggest reappearing for M2 and improving your grade so as to improve your chances of getting an A*.

Its Ari Ben Canaan NOT Ari Ben.

i guess i can because i got 99 in c3.

and do you know how much it costs to get your paper rechecked, or if you just want a copy of it without the examiner having to check it.

I THINK it is £20.

It depends on the type of reassessment you want to be done. Clerical recheck costs the least - £20. Whereas, feedback one will cost around £150.

I'm talking about CIE.
