69% raw marks will get you 80/100 UMS i.e. an A

does anyone know what percentage of overall candidates actually gain 100% for each module, and then 300/300 for the whole AS level?

It is possible to get 100% on the UMS but score 100% on the actual paper. like for my AS Phys resit unit 1 with AQA i got 88/90 on the UMS but 46 on the raw mark!

46/60 is for that paper I think

less than 80% for 88/90 UMS

I was just looking at the geography Edexcel Specification B examiners report. I'm slightly confused. Towards the end, in the statistics part, it says to get an A:

The Scaled boundary mark = 65 out of 94
The uniform mark = 80 out of 100

So, are we talking 65/94 = 69% for an A grade or 80% for an A grade?

I apologise if this is a stupid question, I'm just wondering :smile:

Thanks.

it means that if u get 65/94 raw, ur marks are listed at 80/100 on ur results slip.

They'll get 400/600, which is a C. AS and A2 are each worth 50%.

but the marks i told it was raw marks so still they will get c
other thing u did answer me how the marks are calculated for each unit or adding the whole subjects raw marks and then converting it to ums marks

hi
does this mean if i get 42 marks out of 60 in unit 1 ..that i have 80 UMS marks?

really cnfused

Yes.

thanx 4 that

ok i would really really appriciate some help please please please!!

ok I really need a minimum of a C to get into my uni place, and well at the mo, including my unit 4 result from january ive got 270 ups points, so doing the maths ( correctly me thinks ) i need another 90 ups points from units 5 and 6, so 45 each lets make it 50 to be safe.

So what raw marks would i actually need to attain to get this? Im on edexcel and after tuesdays exam not too hopeful :frown:

and i feel terrible.

from what i can work out thats a 32/70 on unit 5 - confident i think ive got that
and a 36 on unit 6 18/32 for coursework ( cant see why not ) and 18/38 on friday ( fingers crossed )

could someone please check for me because i really dont understand and i dont want to get my hopes up.

thank you xxxxxx

im really confused as to how to work out what ums grades i needed in my A2 exams to get the grade i need overall. i need a C in business studies to take up my place at uni...i got 217/300 at AS and i got a low A for the A2 coursework, something like 68/84 (which apparently is scaled to make it out of 90 or something). does anyone know what grades i needed in the remaining A2 modules which were worth 120 and 90 marks i think?

thanx soooooo much for the help in advance

Why don't OCR have examiner reports online?! I am really lost as to know what kind of mark you need to get to score an A in A level History (raw mark as opposed to UMS) as I have no reference point for it
