Edexcel UMS to raw marks

Usually around about 3 but don't quote me

UMS per raw marks differs per unit... find out which exam you got lowest UMS on and see if your UMS reflects what you think you should have got.

Science exams often stick to strict mark schemes so it's unlikely they'll change by much - but it's definitely worth a shot. I would say that your final remark counts, but unless you lose like 75 UMS you're not gonna get downgraded.

Example. 100 raw mark paper has 140 UMS

UMS = 140/100 (1.4 per raw mark)

50 raw mark paper has 60

UMS = 60/50 (1.2 per raw mark)

To find out what UMS is equal to 1 raw mark, do the calculation MAXIMUM UMS/MAXIMUM RAW

Thank you Yeah i'd have to go down by 55 UMS to go down a grade, so hopefully that won't happen!!

And isn't the maximum UMS and maximum raw mark the same each year?

Uhh yeah good point. Convert 80% UMS into raw then do 80% UMS/80% RAW...but it probably won't change too much
