The same subject on other boards, June 2025
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 Physics in June 2025?
- In June 2025, Physics (Gateway Science) — Higher: 75 out of 180; Physics (Twenty First Century Science) — Higher: 74 out of 180; Physics (Gateway Science) — Foundation: 101 out of 180; Physics (Twenty First Century Science) — Foundation: 108 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.
