9 Two examples of UMS conversion Sally and Peter both sat an Level unit, but in different years. Both units are marked out of 8 and both students score 61. But, as Sally's exam included more complex questions than Peter's, the grade boundary for achieving an 'a' is set at 61. Peter's exam was relatively straightforward and the 'a' boundary is set at 64. Therefore for this unit, Sally achieves an 'a' and Peter achieves a 'b'. Their marks are converted to UMS (out of a maximum of 8) as shown below. Peter therefore has 61 raw marks with the 'a' boundary for his unit set at 64. When this is converted into UMS, he has 6 uniform marks. Sally also has 61 raw marks with the 'a' boundary for her unit set at 61. When this is converted into UMS, she has 64 uniform marks. The grade of the overall qualification is calculated by adding together the uniform marks achieved in the individual units. This gives candidates a final uniform mark which is compared against the overall UMS grade boundaries. For unitised qualifications, both the unit uniform marks and grades, and the final uniform mark and grade are given on the statement of results.
