What are the new GCSE grade boundaries?

Answer 1

Grade boundaries change frequently. The following are the approximate boundaries: A*-----85%+ A------75-84% B------65-74% C------55-64% D------40-54% E------20-39% ------------------ U-----5%- The above information was sourced from a worksheet provided by the Boston Grammar School, England. Date of issue:March 2009 The above information applies only to higher tier exams. Please note: This information is not valid concerning Maths exam boundaries. For approximate Maths boundaries (higher only) please look below: A*----75% A-----60% B-----50% C-----35% D-----20%

Answer 2

For the Unit 2 written paper it's

72= A*

64=A

56=B

48=C

40=D

32=E

(anything below you shouldn't need to know, I hope you're not getting them!)

But overall they are: (out of 200 marks)

180=A*

160=A

140=B

120=C

100=D

But what your overall grade is relies on what you got for the coursework. So take me for example. I got 103/120 in the coursework, so I need 57/80 to get an A overall, because I got higher than a borderline A in the coursework, so just because you get that grade in one of the exams, that isn't your grade overall.

- My teacher also said that the coursework typically gets moderated up by quite a few marks.
