AQA did not publish a paper-by-paper breakdown for this award in June 2026, so we can only convert a total subject mark, not work back from individual papers.

The same subject on other boards, June 2026

Raw marks are not comparable between boards, because the maximum marks differ. The percentage of the maximum is the only fair comparison — and it is usually closer than people expect.
