Questions
- What was the grade 4 boundary for AQA GCSE English Literature in June 2025?
- In June 2025, English Literature: 62 out of 160.
- 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.
