Therefore, scaling factors are applied to the individual component marks to ensure that each component carries the correct weighting. The grade A and E boundaries are set at component level and these boundaries are then scaled and added to provide grade A and E boundaries for the subject as a whole. The grade B, C and D boundaries are determined by interpolation at a subject level and are not set for the constituent components. Because of the order in which rounding takes place, the component boundaries described in this document should be considered as notional as sometimes the sum of the scaled component boundaries may differ from the subject boundary. For grading purposes a candidate’s overall subject mark is compared to the overall subject boundaries as supplied in the results documentation.  \nUniform mark grade boundaries can be found in Appendix A of the Uniform Marks Leaflet For further information, [contact](contact Research@aqa.org.uk)[ ](contact Research@aqa.org.uk)[Research@aqa.org.uk](contact Research@aqa.org.uk).  \nPublished 11 March 2010  \nCopyright © 2010 AQA and its licensors.
