So.. what's the difference? If you need 80% UMS than you need an average of 80% in the exam? or?.. huh? :confused:

exam is out of 80...there are 100 UMS points, you need 80 UMS points, this corresponds to aroung 65-70% in the actual exam out of 80....

so...A= around 50-55 out of 80

So, you need 65-70 percent for an A in the exam?

yep, sounds easy, but when 1 mark is greater than 1%.....maybe not so

Exam is out of 60 not 80 mate!

You need around 40/60 with a few marks either way depending on how hard the exam is from looking at previous years.

Thanks for everyone who has helped with this thread

Do have a look at both of these for practice before you sit the exam.

Good luck. :smile:
