Frequently asked questions

What was the boundary for a grade a in June 2026?

78 out of 100 on papers 02, 11; 78 out of 100 on papers 02, 12; 78 out of 100 on papers 02, 13 — the top grade for AS Design and Technology in June 2026.

How is my grade worked out?

Your marks from each paper are added up (scaled by a weighting factor where papers count differently) to give your subject mark, which is then compared with the boundaries. Your grade comes from the total — not from each paper separately.

When will the next boundaries be published?

Cambridge publishes grade boundaries on results day for each series. Until then, any figures shown for a future series are Starley estimates, clearly labelled, based on recent years.
