Grade boundaries
The raw marks Pearson published for each grade, from the first sitting of the current specification. Boundaries move every year with paper difficulty — A level A* has ranged from 207 to 258 out of 300 — which is exactly why StudyCove’s indicative band shows a range against the newest series rather than pretending to know next summer’s numbers. June 2020 and June 2021 had no exams (centre/teacher-assessed grades).
