Title: Mathematics Grading Query
Post by: $!$RatJumper$!$ on October 13, 2010, 01:07:07 pm
Hi guys

In AS Maths, I have taken Pure (P1) and Stats (P6). I wanted to know how the whole mark allocation system works, like how much weighting is each paper for the final grade?

And also, in the worst case scenario, what would be the lowest marks you could get in both these papers in order to still be able to get an A?

For P1, the marks are allocated on 75 while for P6 they are allocated on 50 marks.

Lowest marks to obtain an A might be 80% of the marks for the respective paper. However it may vary according to the difficulty of the paper ;)
