Grade Boundaries on Sqa website

When looking at course reports for previous papers you can see the 'minimum mark required' for each grade. Is this a percentage or number of marks?
Thank you for responses 😁!

It’s the number of marks required, not percentage. However, the grade boundaries are subject to change for each subject, each year. This is the sqa’s grade boundaries section on their website, I’ve linked it below. It helped me during my exams to understand a bit more about how grade boundaries work. Hope that helps! 🙂 https://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/105159.11713.html
