Grade boundaries: using examples, add your exam board's

Boundaries change with every subject, exam board and year. Find yours on your exam board's website (search "A-Level grade boundaries" with your board's name) and type them in. Empty boxes use the example percentage shown.

How it's worked out

A-Level grades come from your total across all the papers in a subject. Each grade has a boundary: the lowest total that gets that grade. If your papers are out of 240 in total and the boundary for an A is 150, and you scored 52 and 49 on the first two papers, you need 150 − 101 = 49 more marks on the last one.

Boundaries are set after each exam season, so this year's aren't known until results day. Last year's are the best guide.

Questions

What percentage is an A* at A-Level?

There's no fixed percentage. Boundaries are set for each subject and exam board every year. Some subjects have extra rules for an A*, such as a minimum on certain papers, so check your board's boundaries.

What about coursework (NEA)?

Add it as another paper with its mark and what it's out of, using the weighted marks your board uses for the boundaries.

Can I use mock marks?

Yes. Mocks are often marked against last year's boundaries, so they're a good way to see where you stand and what to aim for.
