Welcome to The Student Room!

Component grade boundaries June 2019 exams

Comp.----Course------------------------------------------Max---A*----A-----B-----C------D-----E
7712/1----ENGLISH LITERATURE A PAPER 1----75----61----53----45----37----29-----21
7712/1---ENGLISH LITERATURE A PAPER 1----150---122--106----90----74-----58---42
7712/2B-ENGLISH LITERATURE A PAPER 2B--75-----61---53-----44----36-----28---20
7712/2B-ENGLISH LITERATURE A PAPER 2B--150----122--106---88----72-----56---40
7712/C--ENGLISH LITERATURE A NEA-----------50-----46----44----37----30----24----18
7712/C--ENGLISH LITERATURE A NEA------------75-----69----66----56----45----36----27

The exam is out of 200 marks, but when calculating your actual grade, the marks you achieved are multiplied by a certain number to get a 'scaled' mark. This is because some papers have more weighting than others, namely the papers are more important than your NEA towards your final mark. The scaled mark totals up to 375 marks.
75 + 75 + 50 = 200

The ones in italics are the scaled marks. If you want to find your final mark, multiply your Paper 1 mark by 2, multiply your Paper 2 mark by 2, and multiply your NEA mark by 1.5, then add those numbers together and compare it to these boundaries:

____________________________________________Max__-A*_-__A-___B_-__C____D_-__E
