so if i get a B fr paper 2... and get an A* for paper 3.. then i'll get an A* overall?
It depends on how the performance of everyone is, if your marks are greater then 90% of the people that took the exam then you can get an A*
By the way, some people are saying that this year the A* will be lowered, instead of 90% its 85%, principally because of the swine flu epidemic. Note that these are rumours and it isnt confirmed, the official gradings will be shown in jan 14-24
