    Is it 90/150 UMS for an A over all ? 'AS' citizenship ?

    Thank you !

    If itworks like other AS and A-levels, then you need 80% of the UMS overall to get an A. Therefore, 150*0.8 = 120 UMS for an A. 90 UMS will get you a C.

    The AS must be out of 200. You need to get at least 160/200.
    CIST 1 is out of 60 raw marks, 80UMS. CIST 2 is out of 90 raw marks, 120 UMS. When you get your results in the summer they will be in UMS marks.

    If it is out of 200 UMS, you will require 80% so 160/200 UMS altogether.

    4 off. The grade boundaries for all 2 unit AS subjects are the same, 140 for a B, 160 for an A.
