Re: GCSE English Grade Percentages?Well we don't know the boundaries yet. However, they're the same (in terms of UMS) each year.
For OCR Higher Tier (what I do):
86% = A*
76% = A
66% = B
56% = C
46% = D
It all depends on how the UMS system works, which varies A LOT each year. -

Last year, my school told us the boundaries (for OCR higher) were:
93% = A*
83% = A
73% = B
63% = C
- This I thought was ridicolously high. I'm not sure if they're trying to scare us.. they probably were, I found those quite hard to believe. I mean, someone getting 72% would get a C. That's just ridicolous. -

Re: GCSE English Grade Percentages?Deipnosophist123 was right. The UMS needed isn't even as high as your saying. In English Literature apparently only 6% of people get an A*. I think Deipnosophist123 is talking about English language anyway. For English Literature I think the grade boundaries are even lower.(Original post by shakirac)

Re: GCSE English Grade Percentages?right this is what it was for AQA coursework:
93% = A*
83% = A
73% = B
63% = C
but for the exam its usually lower, though 3 years ago the boundaries were as above... so for the actual exam i reckon as follows:
85% - A*
75% - A
65% - B
55% - C -
