AS Biology - why such a bad grade? UMS?

Just got my AS Biology exam result, I got a D. My UMS was 29/60. However on the papers I scored 77 and 54 out of 80, my average percentage being about 65%. That is assuming I didn't get a single mark for my coursework, which I find hard to believe. In any case, surely 65% is worth more than a D grade? Has anyone else been screwed like this? Are Edexcel certificates not worth the paper they're written on?
