Grade for 16 mark questions

I just did my first 16 mark question in psychology a level and got 12/16. I know grades for a certain question don’t matter but I would like to get an idea. Does anyone have an idea of what the grade boundaries for 16 markers are?

Not sure what subject you mean! But there’s no grade boundaries for individual questions

There are no specific grade boundaries per question, but ideally, for an A* star or a I think we should try to get minum 12 or 14. You can check for the alevel grade boundary for per paper for example for me an A* it would be 70 per paper out of 96.
