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.

Questions

What was the grade C boundary for OCR A-level History in November 2021?
In November 2021, History — Foundation: 82 out of 196; History: 82 out of 196; History: 82 out of 196; History: 82 out of 196; History (H505): 68 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.
