82 UMS on PSYA2 is equal to 54/72 raw marks.

There is a converter on the AQA website.

Aww I got 66 ums marks in PSYA1 and 62 ums marks in PSYA2, i'm really confused as I thought the exams were fairly easy, and I thought I would get an A - is it worth a remark? I was around 6 raw marks off a B and around 16 marks off an A (I think) - did anyone else not get what they were expecting? - Also well done to everyone that got the grade they wanted ^_^

Me too to a slight degree. Was expecting one module to be in the 80s and the other in the 70s. Going to a different college for A2 might be able to push me up compared to my AS college. New start might help my confidence too.

90+%, so 180/200 ums

Do you know what an a* is out of 400? How'd you work that out? Thanks.

You just need to get 80% in the overall A-level and 90% in the A2 modules, so if you got 100% in the A2 modules you'd just need 60% in AS which would equal to
320/400 in total.

You need to get 152/200 to get an A, and 180/200 to get an A*.

A friend got his papers remarked and managed to get 15 UMS. Clearly there's something wrong!

That really is quite a change. May I ask what the UMS changed from and to? It's a bit annoying that the marking is so inconsistent. With mainly short answer questions, you'd expect following the markscheme to be fairly simple? Maybe the originial marker missed a question or something?

One person I know got this paper remarked, it went up by 4 UMS. Another friend got hers up by 5 UMS after a remark. Another person went up 13 marks as they missed out a whole page. She got an apology letter from AQA.

Anyone who is slightly off the upper grade. REMARK.

After seeing all of this I think I will definitely get a remark. I am on 78 UMS. Hope it goes up.

Yep, I would agree. I would strongly advise a remark for anyone considering it. AQA are ****e with marking. It's OCR that tend to be accurate with their grade and mark allocation.

Hello! I got a Mid A overal in Psychology 90 in Psyc1 but in Psyc2 got 78 (1 mark off an A) is it worth remarking if I have a solid A anyways and my teacher is predicting me that? but because I was one off and those who did get it remarked said it went up by an average of 4UMS and if it does go up im 100% my teachers will predict me an A*? How much was needed for an Overal A in UMS and how above that was it?
BUT...Im scared... :redface:
