Qualification and notional component raw mark grade …

1 June 2019 Series Qualification and notional component raw mark grade boundaries gcse (9-1) Linear qualificationsGCSEs are linear qualifications . This means all the assessment takes place at the end of the course. Linear qualifications are made up of a number of separate exams or non-exam assessment (coursework) called components .How do we calculate your gcse (9 1) grade using grade boundaries?In most cases, we just add the component marks together to get your total mark. For a few qualifications, some components are worth more than the others so we have to work this out first (see below).We check the total mark against the qualification grade boundaries to get your qualification grade boundariesWe know it s useful to see how you did in each component so we also publish component grade boundaries.

2 These show what the grade would be if we gave out grades for components. Grades at component level don t automatically add up to the same grade at qualification marksThe mark you get on each exam paper or non-exam assessment will be your component mark. You don t get a grade for each component just a mark. This is sometimes called a raw markThis is the total of your component gradeThis is your final result and what will appear on your grade boundariesA grade boundary is the minimum mark you need to get a grade . For example, if the grade boundary for a grade 5 is 122 marks, you need to get at least 122 to achieve a grade 5. A mark of 121 would therefore be a grade boundaries for linear qualifications are set at qualification level.

In most cases, this contribution is equal but not always. We use weighting factors to make sure each component contributes the right amount towards the total example, a qualification has three components marked out of 100, 45 and 105 and component 1 is weighted to be worth half the total marks:What happens if one component is worth more than another? component raw markContribution to qualificationWeighting factorTotal marksComponent 110050% 24515% 310535% al100%300 component marksTotal markQualification grade boundariesQualification grade ++Grade6=Total mark181 You get your total mark by multiplying your raw marks by the weighting factor and then adding these marks check the total mark against the qualification grade boundaries to get your qualification 2 mark(Raw mark weighting factor)28(28 ) component 3 mark(Raw mark weighting factor)69(69 )Grade987654321 Mark171161152137122107815529 Grade987654321 Mark2412212021801581371047240 Published.
