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 4 boundary for OCR GCSE History in November 2021?
- In November 2021, History: 41 out of 165; History (Explaining the Modern World): 48 out of 160; History (Schools History Project): 62 out of 170.
- 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.
