i think you should just mark it based on the grade boundaries of the year that you're doing the past paper of. the grade boundaries this year are assumed to be higher because of the UNCALLED FOR high grade boundaries for last year as far as i'm aware, plus we get the full equation sheets for maths (and i think physics too) so they have even more reason to raise them. but, at the end of the day we really don't know what the grade boundaries are gonna be. so, if i were u i'd just use the grade boundaries of the year that the paper was in, and then compare the actual marks (not grades) to see whether you're actually improving in marks, and it's not the grade boundaries influencing your "ability" almost. idk how to word it 😭. anyway i hope that helped!!
