i think one of them was 0.1 and then i think i halved it for the next bit and multiplied it by the RFM for the last.

Polystyrene is a thermosetting plastic, not sure about the others. Also I took a wild guess and put like dots down and joined them together.

This appears to be what they wanted, mine was only like 6 dots joined together in a more square pattern, who knows, might get the marks.

Wikipedia - "Polystyrene can either be a thermoset or a thermoplastic."

Yeah I thought so. That is what I learned in Technology anyway. I put a lot of lines with cross links between them for the structure of a thermosetting plastic?

I don't know what the raw marks to UMS is. That depends on how everyone does I think. I know that's how it works with AQA, I have looked for ccea grade boundaries before but haven't found them. All i seen was A* = 90UMS etc
