Understanding our Edexcel International AS and A level grade boundariesThis document shows the grade boundaries for our modular Edexcel International AS and A levelqualifications. For each set of grade boundaries, the maximum number of available marks is also shown.For individual units, maximum marks and boundaries are shown for both the raw and uniform (UMS) markscales. Maximum marks and grade boundaries for the overall qualification (the ‘cash-in’) are only shownin UMS marks.International AS units and overall qualifications (cash-ins) are graded A to E. International A2 units aregraded A to E but we publish the theoretical A* boundary. Overall International A level qualifications(cash-ins) are graded A* to E.Where grade boundaries are greyed out for a particular unit, there are no grade boundaries available.This may be because: the unit was not available in this exam sessionno-one took the unit in this exam sessionDefinition of termsA grade boundary is the minimum mark at which a letter grade can be achieved. For example, if thegrade boundary for a B is 60 marks, then 60 is the minimum mark at which a B can be achieved. A markof 59 would therefore be a C grade.For modular qualifications, assessments can be taken in various exam sessions throughout the durationof the course.For linear qualifications, all assessments must be taken in the same exam session.A raw mark is the actual mark awarded by the teacher or examiner for an assessment. Raw mark scorescan be downloaded by Exams Officers from Edexcel Online.Raw marks are converted to UMS marks for all modular qualifications. This is because raw mark gradeboundaries may change from exam session to exam session to take into account variations in thedifficulty of assessments. A Certifying Statement of Provisional Results (results slip) will always show theUMS mark for modular qualifications.You can find out more about marks at qualifications.pearson.com/raw-ums-marks
