79.5% would be a B. The full A-level UMS scale is out of 600, since it's 100 on each of 6 modules. 480 or more marks is thus an A. 79.5% is 477 marks. |

A-Level N Grade
I seem to recall that there was a "N" grade for near near miss, above a U but still a failing grade. It has been 10 years since I took A-Levels so it may well have been removed, but may be worth adding it in. MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 09:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- I recall from two years back in my a level days that n stood for GCSE level work. Which is above a U because it is better than nothing, but only just, cos its gcse level. Tourskin 05:48, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- I am in A-Level now. There is no "n" grade. 87.194.54.232 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 12:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
"Most Secondary Schools have moved to this new system, however there are still some schools that use the old System of Standard Grades."
It is my understanding that most Scottish schools, at the moment, still use Stanard Grades. Many schools have replaced one or two SG courses with Int 1 and Int 2 courses, but they still use Standard Grades. There are very few schools which are completely SG-free.
The area describing standard grade awards is completely wrong. Candidates sit separate papers which determine what level they are awarded, for example the highest possible mark in a General Paper is a 3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.70.135 (talk) 22:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
