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 4 boundary for Edexcel GCSE Combined Science in June 2024?
- In June 2024, Combined Science — Higher: 190 out of 360.
