The same subject on other boards, June 2025

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 2025?
In June 2025, English Literature (Option A): 203 out of 375; English Literature (Option AA): 199 out of 375; English Literature (Option AB): 197 out of 375; English Literature (Option B): 206 out of 375; English Literature (Option BA): 219 out of 375; English Literature (Option BB): 217 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.
