How are marks added up and grades determined?

[kishan ramoutar]

This happens for many subjects including Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Computing, Accounting, Sociology, Psychology and others..

I was checking up Grade Thresholds for my subjects and others and I noticed something that I found odd.
For e.g., in Law, Paper 1 and Paper 2 are taken at AS and the total for those two papers is 125 marks, but the GT states that the syllabus is marked out of 150 marks. What happens to the unaccounted 25 marks then??
Its the same for Law AL, you take the AS Papers 1 and 2 which add up to 125 plus Paper 3 and Paper 4 which are 75 marks each thus giving you a grad total of 275 marks...BUT the GT state that the AL is scored out of a total of 300 marks.....Wheres the 25 marks coming from?????


SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
