Last year (November 2020), you only needed 68 out of 160 to achieve a grade 4 which is around 40%.

So for november 2021 exactly or around how many marks would you need to secure a grade 4 and do the same grade boundary apply if your re sitting in a university or college

The grade boundaries are the same for all candidates taking a paper, regardless of where they are taking it and whether or not they are re-sitting.

Grade boundaries are decided AFTER the exam has taken place, based on how people have done, so any speculation at this point is a waste of time that could be spent practising for the exams.

Whatever you school chooses to use - or they may make up a paper using questions from a variety of years.

Grade boundaries are very different for different subjects.

Hello wrld

It wouldn’t be 52% for a pass on a maths aqa foundation paper I don’t even think it has ever been 52% to pass unless the papers are out of 80 or less than 100 marks , it’s always been 45% ish or 48% for papers marked out of 100.

Impossible unless it was a class assessment, 55% is a grade 5

I'm not sure what the relevance of the total paper mark is for a %, but in Summer 2019 you needed 51% to achieve a 4 in AQA Foundation Maths.

The examinations for 2021 have only just been sat, plus results and grade boundaries aren’t even released yet so the 2021 examinations probably can’t be accessed by anyone yet until January.
