Questions

What was the grade C boundary for OCR A-level Biology in November 2020?
In November 2020, Biology: 98 out of 270; Biology: 61 out of 140; Biology (Advancing Biology): 86 out of 270; Biology (Advancing Biology): 53 out of 140.
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.
