Say for chemistry I get A/A/B in my exams and factor in my A in the ISA do you think I'd get an A overall. Thanks
I'd imagine so, it all depends on the UMS boundaries; for an A* you need 360 UMS points, for an A you need 320.
Working on the absolute minimum mark for each grade: ISA - A = 80 UMS C1HP - A = 80 UMS C2HP - A = 80 UMS C3HP - B = 70 UMS UMS = 310 = B, but that's 10 UMS away from an A and that's based on you getting the absolute minimum marks possible for each grade (say you got 1 mark away from an A on the C3 paper, that would be 78 UMS).
I don't know if that makes sense really, but the most likely circumstance is that yes, you would get an A. Sorry, I'm quite tired so it blurbles a bit! I hope that helps anyway

Yeah, it does thanks so how many marks in the test paper do you think 90 UMS would be
Yes your individual marks are given a UMS equivalent, and the UMS marks for each paper are added up to a total and then this is compared to the UMS boundaries to decide your grade
So if you got an A* on every paper, you'll get an A* overall, but if you got three A*s and an A, you could either get an A* or an A depending on your total UMS marks, as crazy as it seems!
