AQA A Psychology Unit 4, 5 mark calculation

AQA A Psychology Unit 4, 5 mark calculation

Rough guide to working out what marks are needed
A2 made of 3 units each weighted differently
Unit 4 (90) Unit 5 (120) Unit 6 (90) = A2 (300)


As = 235 ums points
Course Work = 59/60 * 90 = 88 ums points
235+88=323 ums points
To get an A over all A = 480 ums points out of 600
480-323=156 ums point to get
Unit 4 is weighted out of 90 ums
Unit 5 is weighted out of 120 ums
156/(90+120)=0.745
This works out the ratio of ums point needed
Unit 4 90*0.745= 68 ums points needed of this paper
Unit 5 120*0.745= 90 ums points needed of this paper
Therefore the RAW marks can be calculated
(this bit is trial an error)
Unit 4 = 55/76*90 = 69 raw marks
This equates to 55/3 = 19 marks of each essay inc SPAG marks
Unit 5 = 75/95*120 = 90 raw marks
This equates to 90/3 = 25 marks of each essay inc SPAG marks
Tall order :eek: !!! (Personally I thinks it’s a B this year)
But Basically get as may marks as Possible!!

UMS points- average weighted points awarded by examining body (or something like that total marks awarded averaged for the whole countrie for an exam sat)
RAW marks – Actual marks gained on the paper
SPAG- Spelling & grammar marks

Feedback would be appreciated!!!

Hope this helps :biggrin:
