Edexcel A-level Further Maths grade boundaries 2025

Further Maths 9FM0 boundaries, June 2025

These are from Pearson's June 2025 GCE document. Find the row for the two optional papers you sat. Pearson lists each pair by paper code, so the table names them: Further Pure 1 is 3A and Further Pure 2 is 4A, Further Statistics 1 and 2 are 3B and 4B, Further Mechanics 1 and 2 are 3C and 4C, and Decision Maths 1 and 2 are 3D and 4D. The last column is the same pair's A* line in 2024.

Why there are ten tables

The qualification is out of 300: Core Pure 1 and 2 are 75 marks each, and the two options add 150 more. The optional papers are different exams, so Pearson sets a line for each pair and a student reads only their own row. Our Edexcel A-level Further Maths guide covers the content.

Pairs compared

The A* line was 25 marks higher for Further Pure 1 and Further Mechanics 1 than for Decision Maths 1 and 2. Compared with 2024 the A* line moved by between -17 and 10 marks across the ten pairs, and the Further Pure pair, the one most students sit, went from 269 to 262.

The lines differ because the papers differ, so use your own pair's row and ignore the others.

Worked example

A student sits Further Pure 1 and Further Pure 2. Core Pure scores 55 and 58, and the options score 52 and 50, so the total is 55 + 58 + 52 + 50 = 215. For that pair the 2025 lines are A* 262, A 233 and B 195, so 215 is a B, 18 marks short of an A.

The same 215 on the Decision Maths 1 and 2 row would be above 212 (A) and below 241 (A*): an A. The pair changes the grade for the same total.

Use the table

• A* is about 87% for the Further Pure pair.
• Core Pure is half the marks. The two Core Pure papers are 150 of 300, whichever options you chose.
• Check your pair first. Using another row can be 20 marks out.

A rough check comes from today's Further Maths paper (8 questions, 25 to 35 marks, not an Edexcel paper): turn the mark into a share and compare it with the share your pair needs.
