There is now as a matter of fact. You get this grade at the end of A level, if both of ur AS and A2 grades were above or equal to 90 percent.

You require 95% least in both AS and A2 exams to get an A* in A-Levels.

Why does it has to be this difficult to get A ?? They should have made it so difficult to get A in IGCSE as everything is easy . but in AS things are pretty HARD so they should have some MERCY on us ? Not everyone is perfect .
