Grade boundaries and grade calculator
Each paper is marked out of 100, but Pearson weights them before adding: Papers 1 and 2 count 35% each and Paper 3 30%, which is why the overall boundaries are out of 335 rather than 300. The calculator does the weighting for you. Boundaries move every year with the difficulty of the papers, so use the last few series as a range, not a target.

Pearson published overall grade boundaries. The A-level total is Pearson's weighted 335 (Papers 1 and 2 count 35% each, Paper 3 30%), not the 300 raw marks on the papers; the AS total is 160 (two 80-mark papers). June 2026 papers are not yet public.
