    and if you get like 54 to 57 marks is that full UMS? and 49 what UMS you reckon
    Maybe 55 for full UMS. I think 49 would be 83-85 UMS. That's what I think anyway. How do you think you did?

    I thought it was the easiest paper I've ever done. After getting a B (1 mark of an A) in January. I'm definitely sure I got an A.

    No reason not to. I don't see OCR as being such huge dickheads that they'll refuse to give you the mark for not mentioning the number of electrons.
