No published boundaries match these filters. Try another series or select “All variants”.
Reading the table: each number is the minimum mark for that grade. — means the grade is unavailable at that tier. R identifies regional papers. U means ungraded (below the lowest graded boundary).
Coverage and how to use these boundaries
For a final grade: add Paper 1 and Paper 2 marks from the same series, tier and variant. Compare the total (out of 200) with the overall boundaries. A mark at or above a threshold earns that grade, up to the highest available grade.
For an individual paper: notional boundaries (out of 100) provide a guide for that paper. Do not add these thresholds to calculate an overall grade; use the published overall table.
What is an R paper? R means regional. These are alternative versions of the exam papers used by designated international centres. They assess the same specification, but have their own questions and published grade boundaries. For example, 1HR is Higher-tier Paper 1 in its regional version. If your paper code ends in R, select “Regional (R)” and use the boundaries for that exam series. Pearson’s guidance on regional (R) papers (opens in a new tab).
Series coverage: June 2020 and June 2021 examinations were cancelled, so they have no exam grade boundaries here. The exceptional November 2020 series used papers prepared for summer 2020 and includes regional papers. November 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025 have standard papers only; there was no November 2022 series. January 2023 was the last January series, with the regular November series introduced in 2023.
