GCSE edexel grade boundaries

Has anyone been sent the grade boundaries by their school? The online version doesn't seem to tally with the grades DD has received.

Wonder if I am looking at the wrong thing.

What are you looking at? People can tell you if that's the right thing :) I would doubt that schools would send out grade boundaries, it's an extra lot of unnecessary admin for them to do.

That's the one I'm looking at too and it doesn't correspond to the marks on the exam report

clary · 22/08/2024 10:05

What sorts of differences? I suppose that table may be a WIP tho I don't really see why. It must be fixed by now.

Same. It’s odd.

Have you taken into account coursework and weighting?

usernamedifferent · 22/08/2024 11:05

Did they do IGCSE ?

Littlemissnikib · 22/08/2024 11:09

I’ve got a sheet here from school but I can’t work out how to upload it! Can I look any up for you?

Littlemissnikib · 22/08/2024 11:10

Hope this helps.

That’s great, thank you. Those are different from the published version I’ve been looking at. I must have been looking at the wrong thing.

You are looking at the notational grade boundaries, which just give a rough idea of marks/grade per paper. You need the actual grade boundaries - qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/GCSE/grade-boundaries-june-2024-gcse.pdf

Those boundaries are different to the sheet though. Look at eg the boundary for a 9 in biology. 166 v 141.

These are AQA not Edexcel though

clary · 22/08/2024 11:24

Yeah @WaitingForMojo has posted the same link I did. @Littlemissnikib thosr are AQA so will be different.

Can you give us examples of the issue @OlPackingTape ?

usernamedifferent · 22/08/2024 11:25

The sheet are mainly AQA. It’s difficult to help without seeing what you’re looking at

I’m so sorry, it looks like I copied and pasted your message - I have no idea how I did that!

clary · 22/08/2024 11:46

Ah is that the wrong link? I did wonder if it was an early version which might change?

OlPackingTape · 22/08/2024 15:51

Ah ha I’ve worked it out. Some of them are IGCSEs - the results just say GCSE but the codes are different. Sorry to waste everyone’s time.
