Work back from your paper marks

Fill in what you already have and leave the rest blank. A blank box means not sat yet, which is not the same as a zero.

OCR offers a choice of options here and does not publish which option code belongs to which award, so pick the papers you actually sat.

The same subject on other boards, June 2025

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 OCR A-level English Language and Literature in June 2025?
In June 2025, English Language and Literature (Emc): 116 out of 200.
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.
