4.15 Grade boundaries, pass marks and cut scores are not currently different for disabled and non-disabled candidates.

4.16 Where exemptions are used, candidates are marked out of 100 per cent for units that they have been entered for, and are then still subject to the same grade boundaries, pass marks and cut scores. For example, where a candidate is exempted from a component consisting of 20 per cent of a qualification, the candidate is marked only on the 80 per cent of the qualification for which he or she is entered. To establish the final mark, the 80 per cent of the qualification is adjusted to 100 per cent so that the candidate’s score is marked out of 100 per cent. This mark is then subject to the same grade boundaries, pass marks and cut scores as in all other cases.
