ya i know that i cant get a A* in AS level but wat im saying is! the total A level score is 50% of AS and 50% of A2... and as A2 is more difficult then it would b harder to score more % thn in AS... so shld i try to get more % in AS?

Are you taking A2 level as well for this June session? If you are then it's better for you to not take AS exams again as it might affect your A2 studies, this was the advice I got from my tutors when I was considering to retake Physics for the last Oct/Nov session. However! If I were you, regardless the circumstances, I would take chemistry, if not both papers, to put myself in a better position to get A*. The choice is yours to make. (fyi after thorough thinking and considering the consequences, I did not retake any AS exams for Oct/Nov to focus more on my A2 exams)

I think what he meant for A* in AS is 90% and above. because to get an A* for A level you need to get 90% or above.
