Raw marks for the whole subject. The small figure under each is that mark as a percentage of the maximum — the only number that compares fairly across boards.

Fill in what you already have and leave the rest blank. A blank box means not sat yet, which is not the same as a zero.

AQA offers a choice of options here and does not publish which option code belongs to which award, so pick the papers you actually sat.

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 Physics in June 2024?
In June 2024, Physics (Astrophysics): 91 out of 250; Physics (Electronics): 93 out of 250; Physics (Engineering): 89 out of 250; Physics (Medical): 91 out of 250; Physics (Turning Points): 91 out of 250.
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.
