UMS for linear A Levels
I know that Cambridge looks at UMS marks during the admission process. However, I have noticed that grade boudaries for the new, linear A Levels are given as raw mark scores (at least for the exam borad my A Levels are with, Edexcel) so I am assuming that UMS grades have been abolished.
Will Cambridge now look at raw mark scores (and wouldn't that be unfair as the papers of certain exam boards may be harder or easier in a given year) or are they not going to look at numerical marks at all?

Have you looked on the Cambridge website for information about this?
They only ever asked for UMS for courses that provided it.
