Math Results
The leaked documents suggest students 'scoring just over half marks in A-level maths will be rewarded with an A grade,' Mirror reports. According to the Edexcel's math grade boundaries, students who got 165 out of a possible maximum of 300 marks (55%) will get an A grade. Other documents suggest that students who took the OCR exam board's A-level maths qualification will be awarded an A if they get 54% across all papers (161 out of 300). In 2018, the grade boundaries differed: "184 marks (61%) were needed for an A grade in Edexcel's maths A-level, while for OCR's qualification in the subject, the required mark was 197 (66%)."
