The same subject on other boards, June 2024
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 4 boundary for OCR GCSE Chemistry in June 2024?
- In June 2024, Chemistry (Gateway Science) — Higher: 68 out of 180; Chemistry (Twenty First Century Science) — Higher: 45 out of 180; Chemistry (Gateway Science) — Foundation: 100 out of 180; Chemistry (Twenty First Century Science) — Foundation: 70 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.
