does age affect gcse grade boundaries

So if your doing your gcse/igcse exam at a younger age will the grade boundaries change like will they make it easier for you to get a 9?

No. For a given set of papers, the grade boundaries are the same for everyone.

You don’t write your age on your paper… the boundary is the boundary, irrespective of you are 16 or 60.

Your grade received is based on your knowledge, not how old you are.
