Questions

What was the grade 4 boundary for OCR GCSE Chemistry in June 2023?
In June 2023, Chemistry (Gateway Science) — Higher: 60 out of 180; Chemistry (Twenty First Century Science) — Higher: 41 out of 180; Chemistry (Gateway Science) — Foundation: 92 out of 180; Chemistry (Twenty First Century Science) — Foundation: 77 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.
