Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

What Maths grade will I need?

I'm doing WJEC unitised exam.

In unit 1 and 2 (60%) I got a low C's (one off a D in both)

The next exam is worth 40% and I want to get a B overall because it would be time wasted doing Higher tire for 2 years when I could of just done the piss easy foundation.

What grade will I need to get in unit 3?

What are the UMS marks you got for both Unit 1 And Unit 2? Its kind of hard to calculate when you haven't given any information , What is the entire thing out of? 300 UMS marks or 400 UMS?

Well it's likely to be 300 or 400 but here goes nothing:

For 300 UMS marks
Your two exams would be worth 180/300 (60%) And you got 2 C's which would put you in 108/180.
If your system works with 300 UMS marks , you will need 210/300 for a B.
210 - 108 = 102.

You need 102/120 in the last exam or 85% - Quite a high A.

For 400 UMS marks:
Your two exams would be worth 240/400. And you got 2 C's which would put you in 144/240.
In this dilemma of 400 UMS you will need 280/400 for an B.
You currently have 144 UMS marks and you need 280-144 UMS marks or 136 UMS out of 160.
In this case you will need 136/160 or 85 %.

Well according to those calculates overall you need 85% (A) to get an B , I guess its worth a shot , Normally the Raw Marks and UMS marks conversation late is low on the last exam and grade boundaries are likely go down.
