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.

Questions

What was the grade C boundary for AQA A-level English Literature in June 2026?
In June 2026, English Literature (Option A): 198 out of 375; English Literature (Option AA): 193 out of 375; English Literature (Option AB): 201 out of 375; English Literature (Option B): 200 out of 375; English Literature (Option BA): 205 out of 375; English Literature (Option BB): 213 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.
