    Yes, 54 for an A* (for my spec) and usually 65 I think. Everyone found that test hard so that explains it, but I didnt.

    Does nobody find the OCR gateway science coursework grades a lot higher than expected? Or did my school just give me (very) false hope?

    Where can I find the boundaries for the OCR ICT National Certificate?
    The grade boundaries are always the same.I'm not sure in full detail what they are though.In terms of points Distinction=10.5 points Merit+7.5 Pass=4.5 points,this is for the double GCSE,for the single gcse 6.5= Distinction Merit=4.5 pass=2.5.

    I can't figure out how many marks/grade/UMS I'd need in the GCSE Geography (OCR) Terminal exam to get a B or an A overall?!

    In my coursework I got 50 Raw Marks, which is an A , so the UMS is 48?
    &in my SDME (higher) I got a C, I don't know how many marks, but the UMS is 36.

    Can someone please reply with what grade/marks/UMS I'd need to get a B or an A overall in Geography?!

    Thanks! :/

    It's so confusing! I wish everyone just did the same exam board and units, everything would be so much less stressful. I hope you get good grades, seems as my chances of a*'s are looking slim now

    That's not modular, that's linear.
    Edexcel modular for me was 5MB1H, 5MB2H and 5MB3H.

    Your coursework probably has a UMS of slightly higher than 48, although I'm not sure of what the exact UMS is.

    You probably need around about 108 UMS on the last paper to score an A and about 84 UMS points for a B.
