Mega A Level Maths Thread MK II

I am so hopeful but it depends i think i got 70/75 which is 93UMS. but s1 if i am not too hard probably dropped 20 marks i was taking my time and then in the end rushed it D:

I feel like adding to your note by saying that, as someone not applying for Maths, you should not be worried if your Maths scores aren't quite as high as those applying for Maths. (I am not saying you necessarily are, just that it's easy to look at the scores of other people on this forum and be disheartened even if you and they are going for completely different things.)

(Also, 96/96 in C1/C2 are fine scores. M1 is understandably irritating but you have the chance to resit this if you want or to prove it was a fluke with M2.)

Thought I did well...

Wish I hadn't looked at some given answers...

I've lost like ten marks it seems if their answers are right...

What answers? Markschemes don't appear until like midnight...

WJEC... People posted what they thought they had

In that case it's not official, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Well, 298 for AS Maths is better than I had. I applied with 295 in AS Maths, 289 in AS Further and 287 in AS Physics. If you're interested specific module scores were these:



And no, LOTF is on a gap year - he's going to Pembroke next year though.



I have far worse than that...

13th - S3/G495 (Big final Physics exam) on the same day
18th - C4/M4 clash
21st - FP2/S4 clash
24th - FP3/M5 clash

Plus I have the three STEP exams woven in around those, with II on the 19th, I on the 25th and III on the 26th.

Guys is the ums worked out in terms of percentage? - like is 80%, 80 ums?

No. The UMS is effectively a measure of how you performed in comparison to the other people taking the exam. On an easy exam paper, you can find that 80% UMS corresponds to as high as 92% of the raw marks available on the paper (FP1, Jan 2012, 69/75 for 80%) whereas on a difficult one, 80% UMS can be as low as 61.3% of the raw marks (M5, June 2012, 46/75 for 80%).

Ok thanks for clarifying that up but what would 90 ums typically be in raw marks for C3 /C4? (OCR not MEI)
