It'll be the number of UMS that the exam is "out of" - usually 100, if memory serves. :smile:

We might be able to help more if you could post a photo of your statement of results (without the personal details!).

60/60 is full UMS, so you probably got 50/50. UMS is how they make sure grades remain roughly similar year on year- For Spanish, the maximum UMS mark is 60, the maximum raw mark is 50. Well done!
