Eduqas A-level Computer Science grade boundaries 2025: A* to E

Eduqas A-level Computer Science grade boundaries June 2025

These numbers are copied from Eduqas GCE A Level Grade Points, June 2025, last updated by Eduqas on 13 August 2025. Each boundary is the lowest weighted total that earns the grade.

The board-wide table for every Eduqas A-level is at Eduqas A-level grade boundaries 2025.

Why the total is out of 500

Eduqas's Computer Science specification sets three components. Component 1 is a written exam of 2 hours 45 minutes worth 40% of the A-level, and Component 2 is another of 2 hours 45 minutes worth 40%. Component 3 is non-exam assessment worth 20%, in which you build a programmed solution to a problem you choose, using original code. Each component is marked out of 100. The grade points file gives the first two a weighting factor of 2 and the third a factor of 1, so the weighted total is 200 + 200 + 100 = 500. Our Eduqas A-level Computer Science guide covers the content.

Eduqas also lists a notional boundary for each component, which it describes as a guide for centres. They are not grades.

A worked example with the weighting

A student scores 64 on Component 1, 60 on Component 2 and 78 on Component 3. Weight them: 64 × 2 = 128, 60 × 2 = 120 and 78 × 1 = 78. The total is 326 out of 500. That is above 289 (B) and below 347 (A), so it is a B, 21 marks short of an A. Eleven more raw marks on either written paper would add 22 to the total and take the student to an A.

Higher than 2024 at the top

The June 2024 file gives the earlier marks.

The A* went up 10 and the A went up 12, while the E rose by only 2. The weighting explains the size of the jumps. At A*, Component 1 rose by 3 raw marks, Component 2 by 1 and Component 3 by 2. Weighted, that is 3 × 2 + 1 × 2 + 2 = 10, which is the rise at the top.

The project sets a high floor

Component 3 is the one paper that is not a timed exam. Its E boundary is 35 out of 100, a share of 35%, against 20% on Component 1 and 21% on Component 2. A strong project therefore gives a student a useful base before the exams. Our A-level Computer Science guide covers the course across the boards.

Using the table

• An A is 69%. An A* is 79%.
• Written marks count double. One raw mark on Component 1 or 2 is worth two on the total.
• Treat the project as a fifth of the grade. It is 100 of the 500 marks, not an afterthought.

Today's paper

A-level Computer Science has a new 8-question paper every day on our practice papers, with 25 to 35 marks. It is not an Eduqas paper and does not include a project. Turn your score into a percentage and see where it sits in the share column.
