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 AS English Literature in June 2026?
In June 2026, English Literature: 50 out of 100; English Literature (Option AA): 43 out of 100; English Literature (Option BA): 51 out of 100; English Literature (Option BB): 52 out of 100.
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.
