Does anyone know? :smile:

That's 156/200 UMS, 160 is an A, so you were quite close there :frown:

Which paper did you take?

It depends on which unit you look at at what mark you currently have. You can check by looking up your current LITB1 UMS here: http://www.aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/about-results/uniform-mark-scale/convert-marks-to-ums and converting it to raw marks. Then see how many more raw marks you'd need for 4 more UMS.

Ah I think thats the other AQA Lit to me - I do Lit A sorry, but the UMS % is always the same - 80% A (160/200), 70% B (140), 60% C (120), etc. It was okayish, was a bit gutted with my english score compared to what I'd expected and history wasn't as strong as I'd hoped, but it'll be alright. Hope your others went well too :smile:

As Compost said, for raw marks play around with the converter on AQA site
