Grade Boundaries for the GCSE Linear Maths exam today?

My Brother got his results back today and I was wondering how many UMS/Marks was needed for a C grade!

Thanks

Assuming it's Edexcel, the grade boundary for a C (Foundation paper) is 147/200 raw marks and for a C (Higher paper) it's 63/200. The UMS aren't on the document for some reason, sorry :smile:

If he took foundation then 147 marks out of 200
There's no such thing as UMS for a linear syllabus. UMS is only required for a modular syllabus where results from different exam sittings need to be adjusted to a common standard.

The regular results slip does not give his raw mark score, he will need to ask his teacher for it unless the school has already provided it separately. His teacher can also print out a results plus analysis of his 2 papers showing exactly which questions he got marks for and which he did not so that he gets some guidance on what topics to focus on for his resit.
