GCSE Grade boundary for WJEC/GCS C651QS Art & Design (fine art)

Has anyone else had a child complete GCSE Art and design (fine art) with the WJEC/GCS exam board? I am trying to find the grade boundaries but getting very confused. We got grade 7 (which is great) with a score of 174 so just wanted to see how far off an 8 we were. Thanks if you made it this far!

Also wondering how to work out WJEC as “English” grades here! Any pointers welcome for all subjects please.

@Rubyroo73 is it WJEC in England? So numbers instead of letters? Could be under Eduqas instead. This tool might be helpful.

@Tiredalwaystired it might work for converting Welsh grades to English ones (by comparing the WJEC and Eduqas ones?)

Does her school plan to review / ask for a remark? One mark could likely be found somewhere.

@Owlettele I have emailed the admissions lady to see if we can. It doesn’t affect her next steps but is a bit annoying!

Absolutely. It's an amazing grade in its own right and I'm pleased to hear she can continue with her plan for next steps. So frustrating to be so close so I hope that they will request that for you. We check marks against the mark scheme as standard and for those 1/2 marks away would usually request remarking.
