3. Who marked the components?

Official resultConfirmed board mark Teacher or tutorUse the marks as entered Student / self-markedAdd a cautious 10% allowance

The self-marked option also calculates a cautious result after reducing entered marks by 10%. This is a planning allowance for uncertain marking.

4. Enter completed or estimated component marks

Leave a component empty when it is still to come. Enter 0 when it has been completed with a mark of zero. Enter the raw component marks; the calculator applies the official weighting.

What the answer means

The calculation scales the raw component marks using the official weighting, then compares that weighted total with the qualification boundary. Empty components supply the remaining weighted marks. The recent-range view repeats the calculation using June 2024, June 2025, June 2026.

If you choose Student / self-marked, the calculator also tests 90% of the marks you entered. That gives you a more cautious planning range when mark-scheme interpretation is uncertain; it isn't a measured error rate for you.
