Component-level grade boundaries in these linear qualifications are notional only, and do not equate to a certificated grade. When the subject grade boundaries are recommended by the senior examiners, it helps them to consider the component performance for a candidate who will achieve, say, a borderline grade A by producing a borderline grade A performance on each component. For teachers, the notional component grade boundaries can be useful as an indicator of grade performance when, for example, an examination paper is used as a future mock examination.

FAQs

What do the grade boundaries represent for 1CP2 Computer Science?

They give the lowest raw marks required to award each stated grade for the Summer 2024 exam series.

How are component grade boundaries calculated and used?

Component-level boundaries are notional in these linear qualifications and do not equate to a certificated grade, but can help interpret component performance and future mock results.

What format and totals are used for Paper 1 and Paper 2?

GCSE Computer Science papers 1 and 2 are each out of 75 marks, with separate notional grade boundary tables for the two papers.
