Questions
- What was the grade 4 boundary for OCR GCSE Physics in November 2021?
- In November 2021, Physics (Gateway Science) — Higher: 56 out of 180; Physics (Twenty First Century Science) — Higher: 39 out of 180; Physics (Gateway Science) — Foundation: 76 out of 180; Physics (Twenty First Century Science) — Foundation: 66 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.
