Linear A levels

The current modular A levels are made up of AS and A2 units and the A* grade is awarded to those students who achieve a grade A on the A level overall and also achieve 90 per cent or more of the maximum uniform mark on their A2 units.

The decoupling of AS and A level qualifications means that AS results no longer contribute to a linear A level qualification. Therefore, there is no need for a uniform mark scale or a complex rule for calculating the A* grade for reformed A levels. A* will be a key grade boundary that will be set during the awarding process at the subject level, using statistical and technical evidence.
