Hey guys,
It's been a mystery to me and anyone who studies the Cambridge IGCSE or International A-levels how PUMs are calculated. But don't worry anymore! I just finished making a web app for converting CAIE raw marks to PUMs. It includes some of the most popular subjects for the Jun and Nov sessions from 2015 to 2019.
It's hosted at
pum.pythonanywhere.com. You can follow it step by step and enter all the required information, including your syllabus title, year, month, option and component raw marks. After that, it will tell you what PUM your raw marks correspond to as well as a chart and a graph like these to give you more information:
Alternatively, you can directly write the URL in this format: pum.pythonanywhere.com/<
A-level or
IGCSE>/<
syllabus code>/<
year>/<
month>/<
option>/. For example, enter
pum.pythonanywhere.com/A-level/9231/2019/Jun/AZ/ and you will be directed to the page for entering your component raw marks directly.
It's completely free, so why not give it a try at
pum.pythonanywhere.com! I wish it's working and accurate. Hopefully somebody will find it useful.
