    OCR Latin - Grade Boundaries?
    So, I'm heard that the grade boundary for an A* at GCSE for OCR Latin is 90%.
    Now this seems quite hard.

    Is the 90% you have to obtain in Raw marks, or does your mark get UMSed up? If so, what would you need to get in one of the papers out of 60, for example, for that to 'be' 90%?

    Hi
    It's always 90% UMS. However, the number of raw marks does vary- anything from 86-92 ish raw marks can give 90 UMS, depending on what grade boundaries are set by examiners.
    (This is in general, not specific to Latin!)
