GCSE Results Day: Grade Boundaries - 21 August 2014

Scroll to see replies

Is it a problem if I don't have the paper which has one of my grades on it from an exam I did last year? Can I just tell my college the exam and grade I got, or will it be a problem?

My college aren't replying to emails or phone calls either!?

I just was told to go get it from the school in the morning.

I'm a bit confused at the AQA boundaries, it says there's a maximum scaled mark but the mark on my results paper is different. For example, in art & design (photography) unit 1 i got 141 for a b and unit 2 i got 73 for a c, meaning my overall grade was 214 with a b. The mark on the boundaries go up to 80 for each unit on this, which is clearly underneath 141 :P

I think additional science grades are just the grades you got from the 3 exams averaged out? So say you got 2 high A's and one middle B, you'd probably end up with a low A. Not too sure about the other boundaries though, sorry! Best of luck with your results.

yeahh it is thanks for that, i got my results today. did better than i expected!!

hey can someone help me out with interpreting my english language aqa grade?
it says:
ENG02 eng/eng lang unit 2 spk & lis = 5
ENG1H eng/eng lang unit 1 tier H = 148 (a)
ENGL03 english language unit 3 = 113 (a*)
altogether english language = A (261 mark equivalent) (52 POINTS)

How far away was I from an overall grade of A* im so confused :s
thanks any replies welcome!!

9A*'s and 1 A (English language) but I'm getting that remarked because it's only 1 mark off an A* :smile:

Thanks for the reply, that was very useful. so how many raw marks is 9UMS, is it small enough for a successful remark or should i just consider a retake?

thank you

I apologise if someone has already asked this question, but on my results sheet, the UMS (or 'Raw marks' as they call them) are not shown for any of my Edexcel IGCSE exams. Do Edexcel not give this information out? Or is there any way for me to find out what I got?

You're welcome :smile:

that'll probably be a few marks, so you could consider a remark :smile:

English is very subjective at times so there is a chance it could go up, but only do it if you're prepared to risk losing the money should it stay the same or go down. An A is still great but really, it's your choice :smile:

Can someone tell me the grade boundaries for English literature and language with WJEC. I obtained a C grade in language and B in literature however I'm slightly disappointed with my language!
