Hi Guys,
I’m a bit confused as to how far I was off certain grades in my exams and was wondering whether or not someone could help me work it out?
Basically, in Business my results show this (I’m AQA btw )
Buss 3: 72b
Buss4: 62c
I have no idea how far I was off an A/B in the first/second as I have no idea how to work it out!
Also says overall I got ‘C 272’ and I also have no idea how far that is off a B?
Thanks for any hep you can give me!

Buss 3: 72b
Buss4: 62c
So that's 134 overall.
In A2, you need 140 overall for a B and 160 overall for an A.
But for overall A level you need 280 for a B and 320 for an A.
So you were 8 off a B.
Buss4: 62c

Ah right, so i was 6UMS off a B? And i presume 280 overall for an B which means with 272 i was 8 off a B overall?

So i basically need to make up 8UMS on Buss 2 to get a B, or am i working that out wrong? If i'm not, is there any way i can work out the grade i'll need to get that B?
Sorry for all the questions but i'm a tad confused!

I'm going into year 14 anyway because of my year 12 results, so i'm going to resit BUSS2 as i only got a D on that as opposed to an A on Buss1.

You just need 8 more UMS on any of the papers (Buss 1, 2, 3, or 4) to get a B

What did you get when you first sat Buss 2? You will just need 8 UMS higher than that. In terms of raw marks, you can use this link ( http://www.aqa.org.uk/exams-administ...t-marks-to-ums ) to convert raw marks to UMS.

If so, then you got 46/80 raw marks in Buss 2. You would have needed 49/80 to get an extra 8 UMS which would have given you a B overall.

I assume you did AS Business Studies in 2014?
