GCSE Higher Tier Grade Boundaries
Higher Tier Grade Boundaries (out of 240 possible marks):
| Sitting | Grade 9 | Grade 8 | Grade 7 | Grade 6 | Grade 5 | Grade 4 | Grade 3 |
| Jun 2017 | 190 | 157 | 124 | 96 | 68 | 41 | 27 |
| Nov 2017 | 189 | 150 | 112 | 85 | 58 | 32 | 19 |
| Jun 2018 | 202 | 170 | 139 | 109 | 79 | 50 | 35 |
| Nov 2018 | 194 | 159 | 125 | 95 | 66 | 37 | 22 |
These are the higher tier grade boundaries for the first four sittings of the new Edexcel GCSE Maths. The first two sets of exams were not at all popular with students but the June 2018 exams were viewed as more reasonable. The grade boundaries were higher but students felt they had more opportunity to demonstrate their skills and knowledge.
