In the example you give if you came first in ext 2 maths you get 50/50 per unit. If you scrape into top 1% you get 49.1 per unit. If you scrape into top 10% you get 48/50 per unit and so on. Thats a rough idea of what they mean anyway. And I just have to mention that 4u maths has some damn nice scaling :D
