GCSE Maths Grade Boundaries:
Having analysed grade boundaries, these are the grade boundaries I recommend to teachers and students. These can be used as threshold for in class assessments.
Interesting points before deciding whether a student should sit Higher or Foundation:
- Students are expected to score full marks on all Grade 3-5 questions of Higher papers to score 33%, which is equivalent to a Grade 5.
- Students are expected to score full marks on all Grade 1-4 questions of Foundation papers to score 70%, which is equivalent to a Grade 5.
- Therefore if you have a Y11 class who cannot access Grade 5 topics, it would be wiser for them to sit Foundation.
- It is better to motivate and stretch students so by the time they reach Y11 they can access Grade 5 topics and therefore wiser to sit Higher.
A level Maths Grade Boundaries:
Having analysed grade boundaries, these are the grade boundaries I recommend to teachers and students. These can be used as threshold for in class assessments.
Note:
- Marks achieved in the AS exams are not carried over nor does it have any bearing on the actual A level grade.
