    Listening - 23
    Reading - 31
    Writing - 62
    Speaking - 59

    UMS - 175
    5 ums off - you'd need about 5/6 marks all together.
    I think 180 is a C?

    Did you do foundation or higher papers?

    I went off the grade boundaries from June 2011, so it might be different now.
    Do you know that those are the results you got definite in listening and reading?

    No teacher prediction for c/w. I predicted the listening and reading - went through on here and compared answers. Might've been the odd mark generous. I came out with 180 UMS. But I can't remember if my teacher said one of the writings was a 23 in which case I have 182 UMS - but again AQA could take marks away.

    Either way you've either got 180 UMS, or you're a couple of marks off and you could easily get those in your coursework or the exams. It's definitely possible.
