Mathematics grade boundaries

Edexcel IAL uses Uniform Mark Scale (UMS) across modular units. Know the cash-in rules, target the units that move your grade, then close the gap with examiner-style marking.

How UMS works (IAL)

  1. Each unit paper is marked in raw marks.
  2. Pearson converts raw marks to UMS so different sessions stay comparable.
  3. Your qualification grade comes from the UMS total across the units you cash in — not from a single linear paper set.

Session-by-session A/B/C raw-mark tables will publish here as we add them. Until then, treat official Pearson boundary PDFs as the source of truth for a given series. Full walkthrough: Edexcel IAL Maths UMS guide.
