ifs Finance - CeFS Grade Boundaries?

Hi, I'm currently doing the ifs Finance Certificate course and was trying to work out my grade so far. I sat the first unit exam in January which consisted of a multiple choice and a written paper. I was wondering what the grade boundaries were for this because I can't find anything?!

I got 68/100 which I thought would probably equate to a B but I'm not entirely sure. If anyone else has sat this exam and knows the grade boundaries it would be great to know them.

Thanks in advance for any help :smile:

Hey, I would definitely recommend doing this course at the AS level as in terms of content it's not very difficult, just lots to learn. I didn't take economics but a couple of guys in my class did and they had a better knowledge at the start of topics but it wasn't long before I understood it.

In terms of doing the full A level I'm not sure, it depends how much work you can afford to put into it because there is lots of content, I assume A2 level would just be a continuation of AS. Fortunately you can do the exams well before your other subjects so it does give you time to focus on them individually (Unit 1 exams in January and Unit 2 in April/May).

Overall I'd recommend the AS, IMO it's easy UCAS points, but the full A level may be too much. Also I actually found it really useful, there's lots of things I'd never heard of which can help you save/'earn' money, it's one of those subjects where you actually feel its relevant to later life. Hopefully this was somewhat useful! :smile:

I should state in answer to my own question, my final overall grade was an A :biggrin:

Cheers ! Very helpful dude
Do you remember what the march retake was about?
I think it's the borderline of an A/B, 56-C 62- B anything above is around an A or A*, the course of fairly easy, but most likely due to the low boundaries
