If not, how many additional marks do you need to achieve your target grade in this paper? I didn't reach my grade goal as I was 1 below it. To meet my target grade for the exam section, I need to hit about 8 marks. The grade boundaries for this paper: A* = 78; A = 68; B = 56; C = 46; D = 36; E = 26.
