Edexcel Politics A Level is one of the easiest to get 100 UMS in. so no. there are probably quite a few others with the same UMS score as you. and, of course, 100 UMS doesn't mean you got 100% in raw marks.

Given his title, I suspect he'll have lost at least one mark on SPAG.

The exam board proactively sends you a letter if you've got one of the highest marks in the country, though usually they say one of the top 5 or something because generally somebody else will have got the same mark as you. At least I know they do for GCSE, I don't know about A Levels, I never did them. This is for overall marks as well, not just for a single paper.

Several people will have also achieved 100 UMS. It doesn't necessarily mean you got full marks (although you might have done), but very close to it. Why do you need to know you're the best in the nation anyway? Why can't you just be satisfied with what you got?

I would imagine that a handful of other people will have got the same as you. But if your ego requires it and it helps you sleep at night, sure. Why not?

Jeez that's more reps than a Schwarzenegger work out

I'm sick of reading these comments. I get this every day of my life.
I dared to get 100 in an A level and question whether it was 1 or 2.
So what? Leave me alone, get a life

Get a life? How about you recognise that 100 UMS is not unheard of, and don't post what is an obvious brag.

The reason I am bragging if you must know, is because I got expelled from school and did the A level all by my self, so it was a pretty big deal to be able to tell them to go F**** themselves. I was not bragging, I was asking a question.
You are going out of your way to try and bring me down, you are the one who needs a life mate. Also, don't say you got full UMS, i worked for that, P**** me off when trolls try to get on my level

I can't say I care about your circumstances, but getting angry just proves the insecurity that your post already suggested.

Demanding I don't say what I, and several others in this thread, got just proves that insecurity again. More than a tiny number get full UMS, and it is something to be proud of, and there is no reason to get angry because people find it absurd that you would presume to be the best of us all.

Also, I'll just say that arrogance is very unattractive.

I am angry because you assume that by asking I am doing so for egotistical verification
The reality is that i am just genuinely unsure whether or not getting 100UMS is common and wanted to gauge the scale of my achievement
Of course, doing well in an A level is not the be all and end all of life, but being able to say "I Got the Best in X" can me a nice thing to look back on, I just wanted to know.
