The same subject on other boards, June 2024

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.

Questions

What was the grade C boundary for AQA A-level English Literature in June 2024?
In June 2024, English Literature (Option A): 188 out of 375; English Literature (Option AA): 193 out of 375; English Literature (Option AB): 191 out of 375; English Literature (Option B): 197 out of 375; English Literature (Option BA): 223 out of 375; English Literature (Option BB): 223 out of 375.
Will the boundaries be the same next year?
No. Boards reset boundaries after every series so a grade means the same thing even when a paper is harder or easier than intended. Past boundaries tell you the likely range, not the answer.
