Ok, because I read somewhere that to calculate what the full UMS cut off is, you would see the difference in RAW marks between A and B double this difference and add it to the RAW marks of A. This gives you full UMS. I cant seem to find the thread again!!

You can get full UMS yes without full raw. For example I do business, 1 year it was 64/80 for the full 120 UMS. The next year it was like 71/80 for full UMS. UMS just varies each year depending on the difficulty of the paper.

I've got 35 on the practical F213; 18, 10, and a 7 because they can't do the 3rd practical in school, I'm worried the grade boundaries will be 36 like last year for an A, I'm 1 mark off waaaaa :'(

I looked on the website, as it's AQA they have a UMS conversion, not sure about OCR and the others... :smile:

Curiously, what are all your guys scores (out of 40) for the practical unit? I'm worried grade boundaries will creep up again!

Somehow (I have no idea how!) I got 40 :eek:
