Mathematics 9MA0: the June 2026 lines
From Pearson's June 2026 GCE document. The grades are A* to E, with a total below E ungraded.
| A level, June 2026 | A* | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark out of 300 | 254 | 210 | 173 | 136 | 100 | 64 |
| Share of the total | 85% | 70% | 58% | 45% | 33% | 21% |
| AS Mathematics 8MA0, out of 160 | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2026 | 113 | 99 | 85 | 71 | 58 |
Our Edexcel A-level Maths guide covers the papers, and Edexcel A-level grade boundaries 2026 has the other subjects.
Three summers of Mathematics
| A level, out of 300 | A* | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2024 | 251 | 205 | 167 | 130 | 93 | 56 |
| June 2025 | 258 | 214 | 178 | 142 | 106 | 71 |
| June 2026 | 254 | 210 | 173 | 136 | 100 | 64 |
From 2025 to 2026 the A* line fell 4 and the E line fell 7, but the 2026 A* is still 3 marks above 2024. AS went the other way: grade A rose from 108 to 113, the second rise running (it was 105 in 2024).
Where the 300 marks come from
| Paper | Content | Length | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 (9MA0/01) | Pure Mathematics 1 | 2 hours | 100 |
| Paper 2 (9MA0/02) | Pure Mathematics 2 | 2 hours | 100 |
| Paper 3 (9MA0/03) | Statistics and Mechanics, Section A and Section B | 2 hours | 100 |
Pure Mathematics is Papers 1 and 2, so it is two thirds of the marks. A student weak in statistics and mechanics can still reach the 136-mark C line on pure alone if they score 68 out of 100 on each pure paper, though that leaves no margin.
AS Mathematics across three summers
| AS, out of 160 | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2024 | 105 | 90 | 75 | 61 | 47 |
| June 2025 | 108 | 95 | 82 | 69 | 57 |
| June 2026 | 113 | 99 | 85 | 71 | 58 |
The AS boundaries rose at every grade in both steps, and the E line went from 47 to 58. At 160 marks, AS grade A in 2026 was 71% of the total. AS has its own boundaries, out of 160, so it is never read against the A level table.
A 2026 worked example
A student scores 85 on Paper 1, 78 on Paper 2 and 72 on Paper 3, a total of 85 + 78 + 72 = 235. The 2026 A line is 210 and the A* line is 254, so 235 is an A, 19 marks short of an A*. Spread across three papers, that is about 7 marks a paper.
That is a useful way to see how small the gap is: on a 100-mark paper it is one extra method mark in each of several questions.
What to do with the 2026 numbers
- An A* asks for 85%. Aim to practise the final question on each paper, since that is where those marks come from.
- A C asks for 45%, not half.
- Paper 3 is statistics and mechanics in one sitting, so give each half equal revision time.
A quick estimate of your level comes from today's Algebra and Functions, Calculus, Statistics and Mechanics papers. They are not Edexcel papers, so use the share.
