Eduqas A-level Biology grade boundaries 2025: A* to E, paper by paper

Eduqas A-level Biology grade boundaries June 2025

The table copies the official row from Eduqas GCE A Level Grade Points, June 2025, updated by Eduqas on 13 August 2025. Biology has three papers of 100 marks each, so the total is out of 300.

Three equal papers

Eduqas's Biology specification sets three written papers. Energy for Life, Continuity of Life and Requirements for Life each last 2 hours, carry 100 marks and are worth 33⅓% of the A-level. In Requirements for Life, Section A is worth 80 marks and Section B is worth 20, chosen from three options: Immunology and Disease, Human Musculoskeletal Anatomy, or Neurobiology and Behaviour. A practical endorsement is reported separately. The content is in our Eduqas A-level Biology guide.

Eduqas lists a notional boundary for every paper, as a guide for centres. They are not grades.

Working through one result

A student scores 62 on Component 1, 70 on Component 2 and 64 on Component 3. The total is 196 out of 300. Looking down the overall boundaries, 196 is above 172 (B) and below 203 (A), so the grade is a B, 7 marks short of an A. Because the three papers are equal, a bit more on any one of them moves the total the same way.

The biggest jump of the four subjects

In the June 2024 file the Biology A* was 214. In 2025 it was 230. Here is every grade:

Each boundary rose by 11 to 20 marks. As shares, an A went from 61% to 68% of the total and an E from 24% to 27%. The largest part came from Component 2, Continuity of Life, whose A rose from 61 to 72 out of 100, a rise of 11. That points to a Continuity of Life paper that was easier to score on.

What it means for revision

• An A was 68%. That is more than students needed in 2024.
• A B was 57%. Check which of your three papers is weakest, since they carry equal weight.
• The table will move again. It rose sharply in 2025, so do not assume next year will repeat it.
