Definition of terms All of the Grade Boundaries for our btec externally assessed units are given in raw marks. A raw mark is the actual mark awarded by our examiners for an Assessment . Raw mark scores can be downloaded by Exams Officers from Edexcel Online.

2 A Grade boundary is the minimum mark at which a Grade can be achieved. For example, if the Grade boundary for a Distinction is 29 marks, then 29 is the minimum mark at which a Distinction can be achieved. A mark of 28 would therefore be a Merit. In order to calculate the overall qualification Grade , unit results are combined by converting unit grades into points scores. You can find out more about raw marks and point scores at and more information about External Assessment at Pearson btec Firsts from 2012 and 2013 Unit results for our btec Level 1/Level 2 Firsts are reported on a 5 point scale.
