    ohh right and for F322 is 84-89 marks nearly Full UMS? and for chemistry F325 if you get like 76 marks is that 120UMS?
    Probably low to mid 90s would be close to full UMS for F322. I don't think 120UMS will be 76 raw marks. I personally think it'll be between 77-80 raw marks in F325.

    how much UMS would that be?? nd how much raw marks would 80 ums be??
    well that's the estimated raw mark for an A so 72UMS. 80UMS would be around four more raw marks on top of the A grade boundary (e.g. if 46 is 72ums 50 would be 80)

    More than likely, compared to past papers that was a lot more straight forward. You can't get an A* if you scraped an A in F325 because you would need 60/60ums in F326 and 90/90 in F324 for that.

    I have no idea because I don't know your F324 UMS for certain. Basically it needs to add up to 270 and you already have 57-58 ums out of that for your practical.

    You'd still need around 132+ in F325.

    F322 was difficult, F321 was weird but manageable. Definitely not the easiest June exams. Personally I think F325 seemed to be the easiest in relation to other F325 papers.

    I'm really not sure, probably low to mid As in F321 and F322 and Bs in F324 and F325. F323 is an A but F326 is a high B. Just going to have to wait and see

    Thanks I need that A though No idea when the mark schemes come out but it would be long after results day when it gets put up online for the public. They would probably be available in a restricted area around results day though.

    If it is in the ignore section of the mark scheme it wont matter. However if it is clearly wrong or part of the do not allow part in the mark scheme it will negate the correct answer (basically it will cancel the correct one out)
