Can someone please help me work out the grade boundary for this a level!

[Frightenedbunny]

I consider myself quite clever. However for the life of me cannot work out my DC’s score as part of the grade boundary!

Firstly I can’t even locate one of his papers on the AQA grade boundary chart and can’t make head nor tail of his score.

If anyone can help me I’d be very grateful. Just trying to work out if he should consider resitting it!

Thanks in advance. 1 confused mum!

You are looking at the component trade boundary for each paper, which is unhelpful as they are essentially ‘made up’. You need the qualification grade boundaries first. This may help when looking at which paper to remark but I’d ask the school for advice. First step would be to look at the papers which is free.

Go to aqa website to find grade boundaries and scroll down to component grade boundaries

Is this what you are looking for? The first column is what it's out of then it goes Astar, A, B, C etc

Thanks I’ve looked at that but can’t find the grade boundary for paper 3.

Surely there’s only a single award for physics a level, so grade boundaries for individual papers would be irrelevant? Or have I misunderstood?

I think you have your add the two paper 3 components together - saw table splits them up but marks you have are the combined mark I think

Paper 3 option D is there in my screenshot, have you clicked on it to see the whole thing? He got a B in that one.

He has done Paper 3 option D (turning points). Those boundaries are on the pictures above - he is 3 marks away from an A on that paper. But he is further away from the C grade boundary overall.

I make it a B, 3 marks from an A

Thanks everyone. He got a D overall. I was just trying to work out how far off a C he was.

Sorry for all the auto correct typos in last post. The AQA table splits paper 3 into the two components - one which all students do and one which is the optional component. My dd's school gave us combined score for paper 3 - adding the three papers together should give the total mark (which you should also have)

The total required for a C is 91/250 or 36%. The 3 papers in your picture add up to 77 if those are all the papers he did, so quite a way off the grade C boundary.

Thanks @BonifaceBonanza where did you get the total score from?

Thanks everyone, really appreciate all your help. It was making my head hurt!

He didn’t do as well as expected and had worked so hard which was heartbreaking I was therefore wondering whether we requested a remark but now I know he’s no where near we will put that one to bed!
