I think you're confused with grade thresholds!
"Grade thresholds are determined by a mixture of statistical evidence and the professional judgement of the principal examiners. If a question paper proves to have been easier or harder than the equivalent paper in the previous year, we raise or lower the thresholds to compensate the students. That way it remains just as hard or easy to obtain a certain grade in the subject from one year to another."

"Percentage uniform marks are marks based upon a threshold level set by the percentile."

What is same?
'Grade thresholds' or 'Percentage uniform marks'?
