Questions

What was the grade 4 boundary for OCR GCSE Combined Science in November 2021?
OCR did not publish that grade for this award in November 2021.
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.
