What grade will I get? (A-Level Mathematics)

I’ve seen a lot of people ask you guys about which grade do you think they will get, and they always received very thoughtful and helpful replies, so I thought I would ask you the same! Any help would be much appreciated!

So, I sat the complete A-Level curriculum in one exam session (this exam session), and here are the results I believe I will get:

P1 60+/75 (60 marks or more out of 75)

P3 36/75

S1 30/50

S2 39/50

What would my final grade for A-Level Mathematics be? I was originally aiming for B, but I don’t know what exactly it could be now.

I ask you kindly to be strict in your assessment – I don’t want to count on the grade thresholds being extremely low just so that I could maaaaybe get an A, I would much prefer a reasonable and likely assessment.

Thank you in advance! (y)

Probably not an A, but most probably a B.

Do you think I would be a "safe" B (somewhere between the thresholds for B and A), or would I be a B, borderline with C? In other words, should I even worry about getting a C, or do you think I should be pretty confident about getting a B? P3 wasn't excellently written, and that's what's worrying me most.

The thresholds for B have been 142-188 in the last three years, but most of them are in 150s and low 160s, so a mid B is what you'll get probably, as you're hoping 165+. P1 and P3 will have lower thresholds this year probably and S1 will have a higher one. No idea about the S2 though. So overall, they will be on the lower side I think.

This certainly is VERY good news for me! Thank you, friend, for putting my mind at ease! Knowing this will only encourage me complete the rest of the exams in this exams session ever better! Thank you again!

B is not bad, but just pray you don't get C.
But I know I'll end up with B, so I am repeating, coz in uni I want to go, they need A's!
Dammit! Check university you wanna go, what they expect from you :)
I wanna go in Stanford ! I Hope I get A this time!
All the best for your result! Hope for B Wish you get A :)

For P6, probably 38 or 39. Haven't given P3 this year, but from what I've heard it'll be below 50.
