OCR GCSE History Grade Boundaries

hey.im.a.giraffe.

Could someone please explain the grade boundaries for UMS and Raw for 1937GCSE OCR Modern World History with Germany as the one's on OCR Website are really unclear!

Please could you include: Paper 1/2 and Coursework.

Thanks

I had a look and it looks like its 45/60 for an A, and 21/25 for A in the coursework...

I can't make sense of it either. The three components (Paper 1 (codes 11, 12, 13 or 14), Paper 2 (02) and Coursework (03) add up to 175 - not the 200 the boundaries are given out of! And the individual component boundaries don't give A*. Very strange.

OP

What do they mean?

Well I do OCR modern world history and our teacher usually gives us the impression that an A is just over 70% and a A* just over 80%. Though the coursework has higher boundaries.

Of course, because you have the option to study different depth studies (e.g. we do USA 1919-1940, others do Nazi Germany), naturally the different versions of the test papers will be slightly easier/harder, so the boundaries for each paper 1 will vary.

I agree with AnythingButChardonnay, its wierd they dont have the A* boundaires on the spec. :confused:

Anyway, just aim to get everything right in the exam and then they can work out your mark! :cool:

We dont know as they dont actually give the boundaries out as all they (OCR) need are the raw scores to calculate our final grade.

I would expect it would e just above 80% so around 42,43 mabye
