Hi i was wondering whether anyone had a copy of an AS results slip that they could post on TSR so i know what it looks like?!
If not, how are the results presented? do they give you an overall garde for your subjects or do they just give you your UMS marks and the grade for that unit?
Here's one I prepared earlier. (pdf file) Well, actually, it's from Edexcel's examzone, but it does the job. Like Juno said you won't necessarily get a grade on your results slip, it depends on your centre, so taking a calculator/learning how to use the one on your phone might be useful if you want to know your grade straight away. Grade boundaries are usually on the back of the slip for Edexcel; OCR give a little letter next to the result so you don't have to work stuff out. Obviously the different exam boards have a different look, but essentially they contain the same information.
Just for reference, with AQA they give you the UMS mark for each module. You then need to look on the back of the slip in order to convert it into a grade. There are different tables to do this because some exams have a different total UMS compared to others.
Here's an OCR one if anyone's interested. The Critical Thinking was cashed in but the Chemistry wasn't. Also, I did 'old syllabus' Critical Thinking which has only one unit worth 300 points. Now it has 3 units, like all the other AS Levels.
And also, would you have an example... from you GCSE's? That's going to be the same? Or at least mine are! (GCSE and as from jan the same!)
No, cos at GCSE you just get a list of grades, whereas at AS/A2 you get individual module results and so on. It can get confusing.
Ooh I must also mention the rather exciting heat sensitive spot you get at the top of Edexcel results slips! I know theyre on the GCSE ones too, but I didnt do any Edexcel GSCE's so it was a novelty for me last year! It doesnt work now though cos I played with it too much
Like Juno said you won't necessarily get a grade on your results slip, it depends on your centre, so taking a calculator/learning how to use the one on your phone might be useful if you want to know your grade straight away.
Edexcel gives you a grade on the result statement, so you won't have to calculate it. Not sure about the other exam boards though.
