All DiDA qualifications are graded on a scale of Pass, Credit, Merit, and Distinction. Candidates not achieving a Pass receive Unclassified. This is not recorded on a certificate.

A uniform mark scale (UMS) is used to aggregate marks from individual assessment units and generate qualification grades. We don't issue grades for individual units.

Reports on moderated eportfolios

Moderators write a report on samples that have been moderated during the moderation window. The reports are available to centres after results have been released for each moderation window. You can access them on Edexcel Online, by selecting ‘Moderator reports’ from the ‘Results’ menu.

Please also refer to the Chief Moderator report published on the DiDA documents page after each moderation window.

Uniform Mark Scales (UMS)

DiDA qualifications are awarded using uniform marks.

DiDA grade boundaries are subject to an awarding process. Raw marks are converted to UMS using a conversion scale that is subject to change from one series to the next. Please refer to the DiDA results page for more information on this process.
