    im on 186 ums which is 6 off an A. dont know how many i need in this exam to get an a though
    Well it's 320 overall for an A so you'd need 67 out of 80 in this paper to get an A? (67 x 2 = 134, 134 + 186 = 320)

    My class was made to work out exactly the marks we needed for the exam...

    To be honest, I'm most worried about the trig, and the circles, and the vector stuff... I can do the algebra, just not the rest of it!

    He's got a mark scheme up there for the "Unit 3 mock paper" by edexcel and a churchill unit 3 paper.

    The mark scheme will become useful once u get the unit 3 mock paper dw dude

    Churchill is a company that makes "mock up" papers for different mathematics specifications, and he's uploaded a paper that churchill company made to suit the unit 3 specification that we're doing if you do the paper, it will help a lot to prepare u for the exam and hopefully mathsmind will upload the other papers from edexcel he had before and also the markscheme for churchill. But bear in mind dude churchill papers cost money and it can be hard sometimes but dw

    Re: GCSE Edexcel Maths Unit 3 19/06/2012 Exam Discussion
    All of this UMS mark stuff is actually quite confusing for me
    How many marks are there in this Unit 3 exam?
    Could someone put like a predicted grade list, so how many i need for a D, C, B, A, A* please?
    I basically want to know how many marks i need for a C in this exam because i need a D to get a B overall and i'm happy with that

    Thank-a-you :P
