I think the only way to find out your raw marks across both papers for maths is to ask your teacher - they have the exact mark you got in the exam
Same here ! A * everything else. So shocked ! Always an A before

Hey guys I did Edexcel maths (H) and got an A, however my results sheet doesn't say the ums points (it's the only subject that doesn't show it), it just says '52 points'. Does anyone know how I can find out what mark I got?


Posted from TSR Mobile


The 52 points are UCAS points I'm pretty sure! And UMS doesn't exist for Edexcel Maths A I've just been told on a thread I made - but I'm pretty sure you can contact your exam person at your school and they can tell you the marks that you got in each paper.
Does anyone know how to apply for an edexcel remark?
Hi,

In my maths I got a D as I got 128/200 (ums). But how may UMS do u need to get a C in Maths??

The papers won't be publicly available for a year, as they'll kept securely on AQA's website so that teachers can use the exams you just sat as mocks for the year below. If someone has posted them then unfortunately I would ask you to report the post, as that's a copyright issue.



The vast majority of university courses only make offers based on three full A level predictions. Your fourth AS doesn't really matter for most subjects, so I wouldn't worry about that :smile:



Argh, that must be frustrating :console: Still, Cs are still passes and good grades :smile: Perhaps sixth form/college can be a fresh start. Maybe reflect on why GCSEs could have gone slightly better, you say you worked hard which is great, but do you think you were using the most efficient revision methods?



Not too late at all, the deadline is 30th September.


I got a D in my maths as I got 128/200 UMS marks but how many UMS do u need for a C?

Dreaming: 10A*s + A Further Maths
Wanting after doing the exams: 8A*s, 2As + B FM
Expected: 7A*s, 3As + B FM

I know I'm going to be disappointed to matter what and it's killing me :frown:

Opening results somewhere quiet in school. YouTube: Yeah right, imagine :rolleyes:


In the end I just tore them open in the main hall.

Managed 10A*s an the A in FM so for once, I have nothing to complain about :biggrin:

Did anyone else find that their eng lit
(I did aqa igcse eng lit)
Was marked really 'off' ?
I've been on track for an A in the exam for months , I used to hand my teacher practice essays to mark and they'd end up being low A's before the exam-
I went into the exam, did the exact same structure and wrote the exact same thing as I did in the practice essays (analyzed punctuation, used context etc) and i come out with not a B, which would be different ... BUT A C?!!!!
im absolutely horrified with this result because i know it's not what I deserve , I know English can be subjective so I'm gonna get it remarked. I don't see how it can be a C at all I've honestly never been so confused.

Even if my coursework was moderated down it would probably still stay an A* because it was 48/50 in the first place.


CIE did the same

Lost y account so had to make a new one. I was crazy surprised with my results I got 10 a*s, 3 a's and 2 b's which were in further maths and general studies a level. Ifound out I didthr best in the schoolsoam crazy happy do you think if I got like 3 as at a level I could do medicine at manchester

Original post by RedSquirrels
Woooooooooooo
Got 9A*s, an A^ (further maths) and 2A's (although the school's complaining about the coursework because I and many others got 100% in those exams and then a B in the coursework???? I.e not predicted - but still really happy, and beat my older sister; ka Ching!)


How do you all do further maths A level alongside GCSEs.

Could someone help me out out here are these subjects worth renarking: (All AQA btw)

Statistics 3 UMS off A Grade
Biology (B1 B2 B3) 24 UMS off A* Grade
Physics (P1 P2 P3) 19 UMS off A* Grade
Geography B 3 UMS off A grade


I am not sure if this has happened with anyone else but my Product Design Coursework was marked as an A* but has gone down to a low B. Is this in error? As it can't have gone down to a Low B as it was inputted into the system as an A*. Plus, my exam I done with Product Design is 2 UMS off an A grade. What shall I do?

Fight it

I'm 1 mark off an A in Science additional and 2 off an A in Science Core...gutted but overall still pleased with a B


lol if its 1 mark get it remarked like me

Idk how I got 45 / 80 marks in English language, that's a B by 1 mark in the exam (got A* in coursework) and the lowest i ever got in any mock was 56/80 and that was when I left the entire question 4 out (wrong nothing), which is 16 marks, and didnt od half of question 3, 8 marks.

Here in the exam I finished everything in time, I messed up question 5 quite badly (16 marker) but my other answers were really good for what i wrote before
