Computer Science Grade Boundaries

I don't think I did really good on paper 1 for OCR gcse computer science but I counted at the end and got guaranteed 50 marks out of 80, but for paper 2, it was so easy, I got 70 marks out of 80. What grade do you think this would translate into this year? I'm looking for a 6, am I good?

yeah, you'd be good for a 6, but don't take my word for it, you can always look at last year's boundaries

I actually have seen many people saying that the Cs boundaries will be lower this year as the exam boards have realised they have been marking too harshly, so yes, if you would get that according to last years boundaries, maybe even higher if you are lucky!

I have no idea, i’m so sorry, all i know is what is on the ofqual website for cs and they’ve said that more people will achieve grades 4,7 and 9 because of the adjustments. For 2023, 106 however was a 7 and 119 was an 8 (in cs), so you should be okay : ) we are in the same boat so hopefully it all goes well
