Grade Boundaries

June 2015
Understanding our Edexcel GCSE grade boundaries
This document shows the grade boundaries for our Edexcel GCSE qualifications. For each set of
grade boundaries, the maximum number of available marks is also shown.
For our Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A specification, the maximum mark and raw mark grade
boundaries are shown for the overall qualification. This means that the grade boundaries are for
the combined performance across the calculator and non-calculator papers.
For all other Edexcel GCSE subjects, the maximum mark and grade boundaries for individual
units are shown for both the raw and uniform (UMS) mark scales. Maximum marks and grade
boundaries for the overall qualification (the ¡®cash-in¡¯) are only shown in UMS marks.
For the Speaking and Listening Endorsement for our Edexcel GCSEs in English and English
Language, the maximum mark and grade boundaries are shown in raw marks. The
endorsement is awarded a stand-alone grade and does not contribute to the overall grade for
the qualification.
Definition of terms
All of our Edexcel GCSEs have a ¡®raw¡¯ mark grade boundary. A raw mark is the actual mark
awarded by the teacher or examiner for an assessment. Raw mark scores can be downloaded
by Exams Officers from Edexcel Online.
Most subjects also have a UMS grade boundary. The Uniform Mark Scale (UMS) was traditionally
used to take into account variations in the difficulty of assessments when calculating the overall
grade for qualifications where components could be taken at different points throughout the
course. This is no longer possible for GCSEs, but the Certifying Statement of Provisional Results
(results slip) will always show a UMS mark where the subject traditionally used uniform marks.
