I have no idea and they haven't contacted me about this as well.

I think I will only know if I receive an interview offer.

Or, are you aware of any ways to check?

Thanks

Has anyone received an email asking for confirmation of UMS results via Statement of results sheet?

Is that just that blank piece of paper with your name and **** at the top? and then your grades obviously

yeah sorry I must sound like a complete foreigner because of my question. I have done my AS Levels, in Year 13 atm. Just wondering how it is calculated?? Across all 4 subjects or each?

Hahhaa it's cool :biggrin:

There should your UMS next to each subject on your statement of results so you shouldn't have to work out your UMS per subject?
Unless you're asking about how average UMS is calculated (in that case, my bad :P ) - it is the average of your 3 top sciences. (You'll have to work out your average ums for each subject and then get the average across your best 3 )

Hahhaa it's cool :biggrin:

so i will apply during my gap year next year which means i'll have my a2 results.. so for example, chemistry edexcel has 6 modules, right? so i add up all ums and divide by 6? that would be my average for chem?

then i'll do the same for bio, maths and german. of these, i'll take my top 3 average ums, then divide by 3...?

might have just gone on a tangent here...
