Maths Edexcel Results!
Hi everyone!
Just wana say well done and I hope you all got the grades u deserve!
I no theres alot of people out there who have given me advise over the last few months bout the exams so thankyou very much!
Anyway I have yet another question! (Sorry)
Not trying to be big headed in anyway but i'm really unsure about how this works so I was hopeing someone could explain it please.
Ok I took the higher tier Edexcel Maths papers. Ive looked at the Edexcel website and it says that,
A* on paper 1 = 75%
A* on paper 2 = 83% - So tht gives an average of about 79% for an A* yes?
Now my certificate says that for the coursework I scored 104/120 (which is a UMS mark totalling - 86.7778%). It also says for my exam mark (for the two papers combined is 416/480 - which is also 86.7778%).
However I have been given an "A" grade, rather than an "A*".
I am sure that there is a simple explanation to this and just something im missing, but i am interested to understand how that works so if someone could explain it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Davror

Look at the back of the paper with the results- for papers which are out of 480 (Maths) you need 432/480 for the A*. I got 426 and got also got an A

did ANYONE get an a*....?!
go ont the edexcel website and look for the maths governors report and they'll have all on the grade boudaries including coursework etc.
heres the link: Maths (linear)
and another: Maths (modular)

What's up with Edexcel only giving the specifics for the Maths exam and nothing else? Also, do I simply ask my school for the raw/UMS grades as I might remark my suspect B BS grade?
