1 Grade Boundaries Edexcel GCSE June 2014

2 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 cashin ) are only shown in UMS marks. For the Speaking and Listening Endorsement for our Edexcel GCSEs in English and English, 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.
