You will be able to show this Results paper as evidence to any Sixth Form and FE establishments as evidence of your Provisional Results.  \nGrades  \nFor each qualification, subjects are printed in order of subject code and grades are printed with the grade letter repeated in lower case, in brackets. Grade boundaries are determined carefully and are based on performance criteria. All grade boundaries are checked and reviewed and every care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of results issued. In addition to grades, the following results indicators may appear:  \nNo result (X) indicates a result is not being issued because of absence from all parts of the exam or because of a decision not to issue a result for another reason. The subject will not appear on a certificate.  \nPending (Q) indicates that no result has been issued as the marks for one or more components of the exam are not available.  \n\\# indicates that the candidate was absent from part of the exam in the subject and was awarded a zero mark for this part. The result was awarded on the components actually taken. Unclassified (U(u)) result indicates that the candidate did not achieve the minimum standard to be recorded on a certificate.  \nWhere appropriate, UMS scores and related grades for the component units are shown.  \nUnit results reported as a UMS score (Mark / Equiv on Results Slip)  \nUnit/module results use a nationally-agreed Uniform Mark Scale (UMS) to report the result of each unit/module and the subject awards. Following each exam series in GCE and GCSE specifications, senior examiners meet to set grade boundaries for each unit. These are used to convert a candidate’s raw mark into a uniform mark. The principal aim of this process is to ensure that the uniform mark issued represents an equivalent standard of performance between series, given that there may be slight variations in the difficulty of the unit exams from one exam series to another.  \nUniform marks show how the raw marks relate to common standards across the qualification. To convert unit marks into uniform marks:  \n• grade boundary marks are determined for each unit by an awarding committee  \n• these boundary marks are then converted to minimum uniform marks for each grade  \n• all other marks are converted appropriately.","cbCaifMiCex6KqiB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifMiCex6KqiB","pdf",106591,"English","# Provisional Results Evidence\n## Grades Presentation\n## Result Indicators\n## Unclassified and UMS Scores\n# Uniform Mark Scale (UMS) and Conversion","[{\"question\":\"How are provisional results compiled and presented?\",\"answer\":\"Provisional results are collated from all exam boards and printed on school letterheaded paper so they can be shown as evidence of provisional results.\"},{\"question\":\"What do result indicators like X and Q mean?\",\"answer\":\"No result (X) indicates a result is not issued due to absence or another decision not to issue; Pending (Q) indicates marks for one or more components are not available.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Uniform Mark Scale (UMS) convert raw marks into uniform marks?\",\"answer\":\"Grade boundary marks are set for each unit, converted into minimum uniform marks for each grade, and all other marks are converted to produce a consistent standard across exam series.\"}]","Candidate Statement of Provisional Results - Grades and Indicators Explained | PDF"]
