For PEOPLE who hav DOUBTS over CIE GRADING SYSTEM.......
***exam***:
i am here taking CIE AS level so i only refer to that
getting an A * grade in A2 means the total avg % being about 90
for the A level grades all papers of AS and A2 are combine in the weight age of individual subjects to give a total A level grade . hence ur total should be above 90% 4 an A*
Meh:
I know this is just for CIE but to all those Edexcel people commenting...
Curves are set after an exam - after they see how people have done worldwide, so don't worry too much.
Also to get an A*...an A grade (240/300) must be attained in AS and a 270/300 in A2.
If you score a 290/300 for instance in AS, congratulations. Of course universities in UK will look at module marks but be like 'w00t' but those extra 50 marks wont help you to attain an A*.
Hope this helped Edexcel kids :)

thats totally wrong where did u get this from ???
for an A* in ALs CIE u have to get a grade A in both A2 and AS not an average of 90%
so if u got in each (AS and A2) 80% or above which is considered an A u get the A* in the whole AL ;) :D

As for now, CIE has not officially set the criteria to achieve for an A*.
But from other sources such as The Student Room Forum, it is evident that you do not need to score 90% for all your A2 units to get A*.
The confusion mainly arises from "UMS" and "raw marks".
UMS stands for Uniform Modular Score, which is the score converted from raw marks (the actual marks each paper contains) based on published threshold. You can find every details here http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=649874
So far we've been arguing the 80% to get A and 90% to get A*... actually all these are UMS. So, you need not to score 90% out of total available raw marks in a subject to get A*. This depends on the thresholds published. You'll find more information in the website above.
Hope that clears doubts!
