Click here to view a graph of the raw
mark to UMS conversion with the first
100 candidates marks plotted on the
graph.
Please note, the cap is an additional
conversion point used to keep the
conversion rate just above the grade A
boundary the same as the conversion
rate just below. When using the cap, a
candidate with a raw mark below the
maximum may sometimes obtain the
maximum uniform mark. Notional N is
another conversion point used to keep
the conversion rate just above the
grade E boundary the same as the
conversion rate just below.
