In Wales, GCSE results for 2024 are being eagerly awaited as pupils collect their grades. Parents and students seeking to understand the grading system for this year can access specific information regarding grade boundaries for various exam boards. Exam boards like the WJEC have published details of the grade boundaries for all subjects at GCSE 2024.
For pupils in Wales, grades from the WJEC exam board will be on the A* to G scale. Across the border in England, grades range from 1-9. The structure of grades differs between the two regions, with a 3 grade in England equivalent to an A, and the top end of A* classed as a 1. To help students and educators navigate the grading system, links to grade boundaries for WJEC, Edexcel, AQA, OCR, and CCEA boards have been provided.
It is expected that overall grades in Wales may be lower this year compared to last year, as exam boards aim to align grade levels with pre-pandemic standards. The support introduced for students during recent years has influenced this adjustment. Those seeking specific grade boundaries for the different exam boards can refer to the relevant links provided.
As pupils receive their GCSE results, the availability of grade boundaries from various exam boards serves as a valuable resource to understand the grading criteria for this year’s examinations.
