    Well each AS level is out of 200UMS.
    160/200UMS is an A
    140/200UMS is a B
    120/200UMS is a C

    So for Psychology you would need
    92/100UMS for an A
    72/100UMS for a B
    52/100UMS for a C

    For sociology you would need
    104/120UMS for an A
    84/120UMS for a B
    64/120UMS for a C

    If you got a Low A in sociology you'll get an A overall
    as unit 2 it carries 60% of the marks for AS.
