UMS question (A*)

(1/3) > >>

dragon_knight:
hi guys, i would like to ask how do i calculate UMS marks?

like for example, edexcel 2011 Jan Chemistry paper5 (out of 90):
A* 72
A   65
B   58
C   51
D   44
E   38
N   32

if i get 75 raw marks, what UMS do i get? how about if i get 80 raw marks?

because i saw on student room, that "you don't need to get full marks of the raw paper marks to get full UMS" i was just curious on that.

(and that's just a random figure, i know not many ppl get that but i'll set those as my target :] )

they have a very complicated series of statastical formulas to convert raw marks to ums

hmm i think its like this not sure thaugh , just assuming !!

If the mean is lets say 57 & they might add the standed diviation into it ! , & then they might devide the raw mark by  the standerd + the mean , so this way its possible for the UMS to be above 100 ! , in exceptional cases where the candidates scores really well!
not sure @ all about this just guessing :D
