IAL Grade Boundaries October 2021

Edexcel International A Level (IAL) raw-mark grade boundaries for the October 2021 exam series, for every unit in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business, Accounting and Information Technology. 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.
