Every boundary published

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.

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 Physics in June 2026?
In June 2026, Physics (Astrophysics): 111 out of 250; Physics (Electronics): 109 out of 250; Physics (Engineering): 109 out of 250; Physics (Medical): 107 out of 250; Physics (Turning Points): 108 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.
