Can someone please send me the link of the OCR GCSE A453 Grade-boundaries of 2015 please.. Also I got A and A in my coursework so could someone please tell me what i roughly need to get an A* and also A overall thanks <3

Raw = the mark you got (out of 45 for the programming project, 80 for the exam) UMS = the system used by exam boards to calculate what grade you get. Each score is equal to a certain number of UMS 'points', then they add all of your UMS points together and the total is your grade.
For computing, A* = 270 UMS points, A = 240 UMS points. So if you got 35/45 on your two programming projects (the bare minimum needed for an A), you'd have 144 UMS points from the projects, so you'd need 126 UMS points from the paper which you can't get. Can you remember how many marks you got out of 45 for each project? Then I can try and work out how many marks you would need in the paper based on the UMS points

It changes every year (for example the boundary is 40.5 for an A* this year, but was 40 last year for programming). But based on last year's boundaries: For Year 10: 78 For Year 11: 80
= 158 UMS
270 UMS is always the boundary for an A*, so you'd need 112 UMS in your exam, which last year was about 64/80 marks because the exam was so hard.
240 is the boundary for an A, so you'd need 82 UMS from the exam which you could get from getting just below a B (about 38 marks).
That doesn't seem quite right aha, I'll have another look later to double check but that's what I got (trying to calculate UMS for OCR is really confusing because they don't have a UMS calculator!) I hope that helps a bit (:
