A 61
B 55
C 49
D 43

Yes, but the mark we get on the results slip is UMS, not the raw mark.

For example, I got 77/90 UMS. Which would translate to about 65/90 raw marks.

I think we got ours in raw marks since we don't get results slip today. Did that happen to you today?

77/90=85% (grade A) 65/90=72% (grade B). Why is it lowered? :frown:

We got out results in UMS, they were printed off the AQA site where they log in.

72% would be my raw mark, but as they are scaled against how well all candidates have done it is the equivalent of 77/90, as 72/90 is an A and the raw mark to get an A was 61. I don't understand why you are saying 65/90 would be a grade B though.

I got 75/90, my school downloaded it from AQA (through EDI).
