No one knows, the grade boundaries are set after the exam is sat. The grade distribution is said to be a bit more generous this year, but how that manifests itself will depend on how the cohort performs over the three papers.

More generous this year compared with 2019. The autumn exam series were given the same grade distributions as the centre-assessed grades, so the grade boundaries this year would be higher than the 2021 and 2020 autumn exams.

Can you say that for sure though? If it's the grade distribution that's changing to be a midpoint if 2019 and 2021 then you can't really say what the actual boundaries will be until after the papers are sat and marked. If the papers this year are substantially harder/easier etc it will change the boundaries
