Anyone!!!!??? I got 45/50 overall in my practical (60%) going into the exam tomorrow, could you work out how many marks out of the 80 I would need to get for a B or a C in total in the theory based on recent grade boundaries, I would appreciate it. Thanks
Last year 45/50 raw marks in practical earned you 96/120 UMS - i.e. 80% = A as 45 was the A grade boundary.
Assuming 45/50 is the A grade boundary for the practical this year, 45/50 gets you 96/120 UMS.
To get an A grade overall you need 80% of the total UMS available which is 160/200 = 80% = A.
You've got 96 already (assuming grade boundaries are the same as last year for the practical unit) so to get 160 you need 64 more UMS which is an A grade in the exam (last year to get 64/80 UMS you needed 56/80 raw marks in the exam).
To get a B grade overall you need 70% of the total UMS available which is 140/200 = 70% = B.
You've got 96 already (assuming grade boundaries are the same as last year for the practical unit) so to get 140 you need 44 more UMS which is a D grade in the exam (last year to get 44/80 UMS you needed 44/80 raw marks in the exam).
To get a C grade overall you need 60% of the total UMS available which is 120/200 = 60% = C.
You've got 96 already (assuming grade boundaries are the same as last year for the practical unit) so to get 120 you need 24 more UMS which is an F grade in the exam (last year to get 24/80 UMS you needed 24/80 raw marks in the exam).
