GCSE Grade Boundaries

The figures are the total mark across all three papers — out of 240 — needed for each grade at Higher tier. Boundaries move every year, so treat the averages as a guide rather than a target. The summer and November series behave differently, so you can narrow the table to one of them — the averages follow whichever view you pick.
