Mei fp1 100ums grade boundaries may 2012...?
Ok I was just wondering I know my mark for the exam because our teacher gave us a mark scheme and I got 70/71 out of 72 depending on whether mr examiner is feeling generous I was just wondering what the chance of me getting 100UMS is with around 70/71 out of 72 anyone have any idea? Thanks
Also hope anyone that did the paper did well (If anyone wants an unofficial mark scheme send me the paper and I'll do it I have all the questions right just wrote down my answer wrong from my working and hence lost 1 or 2 marks if im unlucky!) -
Re: Mei fp1 100ums grade boundaries may 2012...?im not going to make a mark scheme until i get the paper as i want to make sure i dont forget anything but if you tell you your answers I CAN confirm whether they are right(Original post by eddieb189)
Ive had a look on the AQA ums converter and for the last two years in june, 100UMS has needed 75/75. Could you post the mark scheme please so i can check my answers

Why do you want specifically 100 UMS? It won't help your uni admissions much, if at all, and depending on which modules you take, it will be the most useless module you take in further maths.
Nevertheless, it's basically just a flip of the coin whether you get 100UMS or not. It really just depends whether there was a particularly hard question in the exam. -
Re: Mei fp1 100ums grade boundaries may 2012...?That's a different exam board. That's FP1 done by AQA, the OP is talking about FP1 by MEI.(Original post by eddieb189)

Re: Mei fp1 100ums grade boundaries may 2012...?I simply want 100 UMS for bragging rights, little bit disappointed now considering I actually had the right answer whilst I was doing some rough notes on some spare paper I had requested and somehow managed to copy it down incorrectly to my answer booklet ah well guess I will have to be contempt with 98-99UMS not the end of the world just a shame.(Original post by CHY872)

Re: Mei fp1 100ums grade boundaries may 2012...?Where do you find this information out because on the ocr mei grade boundaries it just says raw marks needed for A (80UMS) not 100UMS(Original post by Silent--ly)
For the past couple of years you've needed 72/72 for 100UMS. This year was an easy paper, so I'm guessing that's where it'll stay. 70/72 will probably be between 96-98UMS. -
Re: Mei fp1 100ums grade boundaries may 2012...?If you find the difference between the raw grade boundary for an A and the one for a B, multiply the difference by 2 and then add it to the mark for an A, that gives the mark for 100UMS. Or at least it does for Edexcel, so I would expect it to be the same for other exam boards. In this case the result is 73, so it would be expected that you need full marks for 100UMS.(Original post by mora11)
