GCSE English marks?

Question

I just want to know what percentage is the cousework from overall marks?...

And I just had english gcse exam yesterday. I am so worried that i might get lower than C because the overall marks of the exam paper is 40 and I only answered the 1st question which is worth 10 marks and the 3rd/last question which is worth 20 marks but I also answered the 2nd question but only a paragraph. How many marks do i have to get to achieve a C grade?

if I get mostly C in my coursework and a D on my exam, will I get a C on overall marks?

THANX in advance!

This course prepares students for AQA GCSE English syllabus 3703 for examination in 2008 and later years. Assessment is by two written papers worth 60% of the total mark.

      Paper 1 (1 Hour 40 Minute) is 30% of the total marks. The paper will consist of two sections; Section A is one question testing reading and response to pre-released media texts and one question testing reading and response to an unseen nonfiction text. Section B is one question testing writing in response to the .triplet. argue, persuade, advise.

      Paper 2 (1 ½ Hours) is 30% of the total marks. The paper will consist of two sections; Section A is one question testing reading and response to pre-released and unseen poetry from different cultures. Section B is one question testing writing in response to the .triplet. argue, persuade, advise.

20% of the marks are by an oral examination to be sat at a local testing centre and the last 20% is made up of 4 pieces of coursework. We have chosen this syllabus as it is the most suited to distance learning.
