Hi,
I got almost similar marks to you in my actual GCSE maths and I got a grade 5. As the grade boundaries increase every year its 105 marks in total to get a grade 6 which is 35 marks on each paper.

I recommend Dr Frost: https://www.drfrost.org/explorer.php?coid=12809

Do you use traffic lighting?

75 marks in total for all 3 papers, at higher, would've achieved a grade 5 using last year's grade boundaries for Edexcel. (Keep in mind that these change each year depending on overall student performance)

You can find the boundaries here:
