AQA, OCR, Eduqas and Cambridge A-Level — see exactly how many marks you need for each grade.
Grade boundaries are the minimum marks needed to achieve each grade. They are set after each exam series based on student performance. For example, an A* boundary of 155 means you need at least 155/200 marks to achieve an A*. Boundaries change each year, so use these figures as a guide only.
