Cambridge Students: UMS Scores?

Hi,
I was just wondering what your UMS scores are, I've searched and there's not been one like this so far, well at least not one in as great detail so lets do the full thing while we're at it. I have not done many threads so please help me out here :smile: I would really appreciate it if you could fill it out - not as long as the "who you are" thread and more precise! Thank you.

GCSEs or equivalent: ?
AS level UMS (/300) or equivalent: ?
College and course being taken at Cambridge: ?

Thank you!

This information is available everywhere on these forums, and certainly doesn't need two threads asking about it, do some searching.

hold on - all the averages are listed in the decisions thread...

the overall average was 92.5 % that is 278/300 - so aim for 280

also, do you mean Cam students or acceptees? because its likely to differ, partly because of retakes and partly because they are more likely to remember A2 overall rather than what they got at AS

CGPC - your offer is for A's at A2 level, this is why it is conditional as you haven't got those grades yet. They don't make offers of just AS grades.

You need 3 A's at A-level overall. As long as you have at least 480/600UMS marks in a subject it doesn't matter if you didnt get an A in the A2 section.

What would happen if you obtained 600/600 in a subject? You'll receive something like the Edexcel World Awards right?

French- 300
Russian- 300
English Lit.- 292
History- 293

But, at my school at least, there was no obvious correlation between marks (in the highest bracket) and offers. As long as you get around 270 in most things you'll be fine. Oh and if your are applying for law or medicine, the LNAT and BMAT scores seemed to have a massive impact on whether or not people got offers.
