Questions
- What was the grade 4 boundary for OCR GCSE Biology in June 2018?
- In June 2018, Biology (Gateway) — Higher: 54 out of 180; Biology (Twenty First Century) — Higher: 47 out of 180; Biology (Gateway) — Foundation: 79 out of 180; Biology (Twenty First Century) — Foundation: 76 out of 180.
- 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.
