IAL Grade Boundaries October 2020

Edexcel International A Level (IAL) raw-mark grade boundaries for the October 2020 exam series, for every unit in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business, Accounting, Information Technology, Psychology and Law. The Full UMS column is the raw mark that already gets the unit's maximum UMS, so you don't need full marks to get full UMS.
