Grade Boundaries


In 2017, letter grades were replaced with a new 9-1 grading system. Grades range from 9 to 1, with 9 being the highest.  The grade boundaries are ow, which make it quite easy for students to do well in GCSE maths. They fluctuate each year depending on how easy/difficult students found the exam. The following can be used as a rough guide:

 

GCSE's are offered in two tiers - foundation or higher level. The foundation tier is designed for students who are aiming for grades 1 - 5 and Higher tier is designed for students who are looking for grades 4 - 9.  So,  in the higher tier you can only get grades 4 to 9 or a U, which is ungraded.  In the foundation tier, the highest grade you can  obtain is 5. If a student is doing the higher tier and only just misses a grade 4 then they may be awarded a 3 which means a “nearly a pass” grade.  A student should only take higher if they can confidently expect get at least a grade 4, but are really aiming for 6 or above. Approximately 50% of the marks on the higher paper are aimed at grade 7 and above (a 7 is the usual requirement for entry to an A-level Maths course), so most of a higher paper will be too difficult to someone who is doubtful of achieving Grade 4. Tiers cannot be mixed, so one must either take foundation or higher.

Nicely condensed summaries of grade boundaries can be found by scrolling all the way below the large interactive table.  You can also find downloadable summary table grade boundaries by clicking and downloading the pdfs at the very bottom of the page.

'R; stands for regional as these papers were specifically designed to cater for the different time zones. The 'R' papers are used by centers in the Asian/Pacific regions (countries that are between 5 and 9 hours ahead of the UK). This is done so that none of the papers get leaked. Otherwise, due to time difference of countries someone who already had their exam can simply leak the paper to a person in another country.
