Eduqas A-level grade boundaries 2026: the marks for each grade

Eduqas A-level grade boundaries 2026

The figures come from Eduqas GCE A Level Grade Points, June 2026, a file Eduqas last updated on 13 August 2026. Its results-day page says AS and A-level results went out on Thursday 13 August, and GCSE results a week later on Thursday 20 August. The columns run from A* to E, and each number is the lowest total mark for that grade.

The four subject guides give the same figures paper by paper: Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science.

The rest of the Eduqas A-level list

Here are the other subjects from the same file. Art and Design, and Design and Technology, each have identical boundaries across their routes, so each is one row.

Which Eduqas A-levels have no boundaries?

Maths and Further Maths. Eduqas does not list them among its AS and A-level subjects, so there is nothing for them in the file. Students taking A-level Maths in England sit AQA, Edexcel or OCR, and our A-level Maths guide sets out the differences.

2026 against 2025: how far each boundary moved

Each cell shows the 2026 mark, with the change from June 2025 in brackets:

Chemistry's boundaries rose at the top, with A* up 7 and A up 6, while its E stayed at 78. Biology went the other way at the top, with A* −1 and A +1, but the lower grades climbed, so E went from 82 to 91. Computer Science barely changed: A* moved 2 marks and E not at all. Physics rose by exactly 3 marks at every grade from A* to E.

Worked example: a Physics total

Physics is out of 320, made up of 100, 100 and 120 marks from its three components. Take made-up marks of 71, 80 and 82. The total is 233. In the 2026 table, 233 is above 199 (B) and below 237 (A), so it is a B, 4 marks short of an A. In the 2025 table A was 234, so the same total was one mark short of an A that year too: a B both times, but only 1 mark short in 2025 against 4 marks short in 2026.

How to read the grade points file

Each row of the file has an entry code, the maximum mark, a weighting factor and the boundaries. The overall qualification row, ending QS, is the one that decides your grade. Rows below it are the components. For Computer Science the weighting factors are 2, 2 and 1, so the first two papers count double when the marks are added up. Eduqas says the component boundaries are notional, there to help centres analyse results, and are not official grades.

What to do with the 2026 numbers

• Use shares for planning. In 2026 an A was 64% in Chemistry and 74% in Physics, which is a clearer target than the mark.
• Expect a different table next summer. Eduqas sets boundaries after marking, so these are a guide to the range and not a promise.
• Check the weighting. In Computer Science a mark on the first two papers is worth twice a mark on the programming project.

Use a daily paper to estimate your grade

Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science each have a new short timed paper every day on our practice papers. It is 8 questions, 25 to 35 marks, and not an Eduqas paper. Mark it, work out your share of the total and compare it with the grade shares in the table. Average several results with the Mean, Median and Mode Calculator, and read our predicted grades guide before you trust a single score.
