I'm sitting AS Maths in a few weeks and need to get an A at least in AS for the university I'd like to apply for, I've done really well in GCSE/Additional Maths (A*,A* and distinction) for context (and got over the past year from September to January on half papers 74%, 81% and 77%) but I'm really confused what the grade boundaries for AS Maths are.
I thought grade boundaries depended on the paper but my Maths teacher says that 80% is always for an A and 90% in A2 is always needed for an A* (which I would evidently prefer to get but may not happen). However, my friend's been told that the actual raw mark in Maths is more like 40-50% for the past years by his teacher, which ties in more to what I saw at GCSE and other AS subjects.
I'm really confused now how to calculate UMS marks to Raw marks and presumably only teachers can see raw mark
boundaries, so I know 80% is what I should aim for but I don't even know what the grade boundary is. Does anyone else know?
Edit: looking online (e.g. Wales Online from 2023), presumably
https://portal.wjec.co.uk/ can be used to convert raw marks to UMS but it needs a login which I assume only applies to teachers because I can't login with my Microsoft Account (school/personal), which just seems really bizarre, should I speak to a teacher about it and see if they could access it?
FINAL EDIT: for anyone who may have the same issue as me, you can use the website
https://services.portal.wjec.co.uk/MarkToUMS/default.aspx from the WJEC to see raw mark grade boundaries. for A Level Maths it's "GCE June" + your year (pretty sure only 2019 and 2023 have papers) but as an example 73/120 marks for Unit 1 Maths (Pure) is an A and anything above 80% marks is full UMS.
