Grading System Of Edexcel

(1/1)

Darth Austrakast:
Is there any scaling system for Edexcel A levels AS?
if so how is it done? can anybody please explain?
how do they calculate the final marks?
thanx  ;)

There is no fixed grading system.They change it every year depending upon the candidate's performance.
This shows that Edexcel is so dumb

No, there is the UMS. This is basically a tabular version of the curves.
Every exam is harder or easier to candidates, and thus, no set raw mark can be made a boundary.
