OCR A level History Grade Boundaries

Does anyone know what the grade boundaries are like for OCR A Level History? I've been looking and most of the things online says it's 154 ish out out 200 for an A*?! That seems crazy low to me like you could get 0 on a 30 mark and a 20 marker and get an A..? Does anyone know the grade boundaries or if these are right? Thank you in advance! :smile:

I do Edexcel for history but you should just check previous years (not 2020 or 2021) and that's a relatively solid metric.

Thank you! 2019 is saying 164 out of 200 for an A* and that's the only other one I can find. Still seems wild though cause I feel like that's still pretty low!

Edexcel is 175 ☹️ - if you mess up one essay over the entire three papers you basically have to get 18/19 on every single other one if you want an A*
