What UMS did you get in maths?

I want to know because I'm thinking of doing a maths degree but I don't want to be horribly out of my depth. Please tell me what grade you got at A2 and overall UMS (if you can't remember, then just a rough number). Could you also put which university you go to :smile:

Could you also put what the degree name is. So if it's straight maths or maths and economics, or financial mathematics etc.

Posting would be a massive, massive help for me, so please do so :smile:

Thanks very much to anyone who can help!

I got 479 (1 UMS off an A :angry:

) and my private tutor says I would be capable of taking maths at Uni, even though I'm not - I'm doing Biology.
It's not really the answer you were looking for but hey...

C1 - 70
C2 - 88
C3 - 80
C4 - 89 (no idea how, I though C4 was my worst module :confused:

apart from the comprehension paper of course)
S1 - 73
M1 - 78/79 (can't remember)

Total 478 or 479/600

Got a band 2 in higher maths (2/3 marks off a band 1! grr) and a band 3 in AH maths. I'm doing Mathematical Physics at Heriot Watt.

I realise this thread is directly related to A-levels and I didn't do them but rather the Scottish equivalents. Still posted in this thread for the hell of it though.

You have a wide range of universities with a wide range of requirements so you'll probably find somewhere suitable whatever marks you're getting. Due to this wide range, you should really be comparing your marks with the universities' individual requirements rather than what other people are getting.

I took that exam two years ago, although I'm not really sure, I think that the question was related to that. One thing I do remember was that they put algebraic expressions into that question to mix it up a little
