is it worth resitting two units for 6 more ums in both to get them up to what you need or trying to make it up in the summer with less exams? i'm in year 12
Really happy about the business mark, really sad about the C3 as I was getting As in the practice papers and in my mocks. Oh well! 5 exams in the summer for me!
was expecting this as i was going through a rough time during the exam period :/ defo retaking chem as i can easily achieve a B grade if doing my best if not an A. guess i have to retake human biology 1 though the first unit is soooo hard:/ unit 2 so much easier. got my ISA exam in chem tomorow too :O:O
I'm in the same position for each 3 of my subjects, biology chemistry and statistics
In order to get an A in statistics I need to retake at least one and sit the normal summer paper. Bio and chemistry I have to retake 2 and do the normal summer papers to get a chance of getting an A unless of course i get full marks in my summer which isn't going to happen
oh and in order for me to go to uni my offers are AAB...great, this is going to be a fun summer!
OCR Biology unit 1 - A 88 UMS pleasant surprise as the paper was killer AQA Chem unit 1 - A 90 UMS Edexcel Maths C1 - A 91 UMS OCR General Studies - A 93 UMS aaand Edexcel Physics - B 94 UMS :/ great results but its a real shame about physics, especially as my coursework is not sitting fantastically right now. Best in the year in Biology though :33
Exactly - we only get given our UMS mark (well we do at my school anyway). Depends on your exam board for C1 but some have a UMS converter you can use to find out your raw marks or you can ask your teacher. Maths tends to be high though, so 88 seems like a good mark.
my board is Edexcel. I found a converter for AQA on their website but nothing for Edexcel. Do you think 88 UMS marks is above 90% raw marks? (estimate)
go to GCE units: which shows an A to be in Economics unit 1, 68 marks out of 80. and a B to be 54 marks. So you must have got between these two marks. Which is the converted to UMS and shown in the document labelled: GCE UNIT UNIFORM MARK.
my board is Edexcel. I found a converter for AQA on their website but nothing for Edexcel. Do you think 88 UMS marks is above 90% raw marks? (estimate)
Very unlikely, usually UMS marks are upscaled so dependent on how everyone else did it could be as low as 50% or as high as 90% raw marks for Edexcel
Mine were Okish AQA FP1 : 70B AQA D01 : 92 A OCR Chem Unit 1 : 78 A OCR Bio unit 1 : 77 A AQA Geog Skills AS : 45 B
By the way did anybody do AQA skills for geography, i was the onyl person to get a decent grade in my year, i'd like to know what others got because the marking seemed very harsh, i know people who'd worked their asses off making and learning model answers and got U's
