What percentage of candidates are awarded full UMS in each exam?

What percentage of candidates are awarded full UMS in each exam?
Is there a cut of point in terms of raw marks depending on the results of all the candidates? E.g 1% will always get full UMS?
I've only ever got full UMS in one exam :'(

No one asked. C1 and C2 require no mathematical genius to get 100 in anyway
It probably is 1%

There cannot be a cut off point. I.e if all candidates get 100% raw marks, you cannot say only 1% will get full UMS.

However I think what you mean is a threshold. I.e if the exam board want 1% to get full UMS they will lower the threshold level for raw marks that need to be scored for full UMS to be awarded. However it would be impossible to calculate without sufficient data released by exam boards which I doubt they would supply.
