Questions
- What was the grade 4 boundary for OCR GCSE Physics in June 2023?
- In June 2023, Physics (Gateway Science) — Higher: 63 out of 180; Physics (Twenty First Century Science) — Higher: 43 out of 180; Physics (Gateway Science) — Foundation: 102 out of 180; Physics (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.
