Title: Chemistry Grading Query
Post by: $!$RatJumper$!$ on October 26, 2010, 05:45:23 pm

Guys what would be the lowest grade that one should get in an AS Chemistry Prac (P3) in order to still be able to get an A overall.

I don't really know for AS. But for A2, practicals are 12% of the overall subject.

But I guess you should score more than 50% in practicals and provided you work well in you most weighed paper(For AS, I think it is P2), you'll surely be getting an A. ;)

There is no telling how much you would score. Put in your best in practicals, they are marked really strictly. ^_^ However, if you mess up hard like I did, don't panic AT ALL! I had a D in my Physics Practical and a C in my Biology practical, but A in both subjects. with a percentile of 90 in Physics and 92 in Biology. Put your heart and soul in the theory instead, followed by the MCQ papers. If you are appearing in a full A2, then your P4 must be terrific too.
