How GCSE grades work
GCSE results in England run on a 9 to 1 scale. 9 is the highest. A grade 4 is a standard pass. A grade 5 is a strong pass. Each exam board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, CCEA) sets its own boundaries per subject per year, based on how hard that specific paper was. The boundaries move. The scale does not.
This calculator uses the 2024 boundaries published by each board. Boundaries vary by paper and exam series. Do not use this historical table to determine a grade for a different year.
Why this matters before results day
- See whether you are on track for the predicted grade while there is still time to revise.
- The gap between a 6 and a 7 is often 4 to 6 marks. One more past paper run closes it.
- Target resits with numbers. Boundaries move a little year to year. The gap between grades holds steady.
