OCR A-level Further Maths grade boundaries 2026
The tables copy OCR's June 2026 A Level boundaries PDF. There is no single Further Maths boundary: each pair of options (H245) or route (H645) has its own, so look for the codes on your entry.
Further Mathematics A (H245), 2026
| Further Maths A (H245), June 2026 | A* | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y540+Y541+Y542+Y543, out of 300 | 240 | 206 | 174 | 142 | 110 | 79 |
| Y540+Y541+Y542+Y544, out of 300 | 243 | 209 | 177 | 145 | 113 | 81 |
| Y540+Y541+Y542+Y545, out of 300 | 236 | 202 | 170 | 138 | 107 | 76 |
| Y540+Y541+Y543+Y544, out of 300 | 242 | 207 | 174 | 141 | 108 | 76 |
| Y540+Y541+Y543+Y545, out of 300 | 235 | 200 | 167 | 135 | 103 | 71 |
| Y540+Y541+Y544+Y545, out of 300 | 238 | 203 | 170 | 137 | 105 | 73 |
Y544 Discrete Mathematics sits at the top of the table: the combination with Y542 Statistics had the highest A* at 243, while the Y543 plus Y545 pairing had the lowest at 235. Our OCR A-level Further Maths guide describes the papers and the board-wide 2026 boundaries list the other subjects.
Further Mathematics B, MEI (H645), 2026
OCR's document gives every Further Maths B route a total of 360, although the paper maxima in a route add up to 324 (for example 144, 120 and 60). The marks are therefore weighted before the total is formed, so do not add raw marks and compare them with the table.

What moved from 2025 to 2026
| Further Maths A option | A* 2025 | A* 2026 | Change | E 2025 | E 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y540+Y541+Y542+Y543 | 231 | 240 | +9 | 74 | 79 | +5 |
| Y540+Y541+Y542+Y544 | 227 | 243 | +16 | 71 | 81 | +10 |
| Y540+Y541+Y542+Y545 | 228 | 236 | +8 | 70 | 76 | +6 |
| Y540+Y541+Y543+Y544 | 225 | 242 | +17 | 72 | 76 | +4 |
| Y540+Y541+Y543+Y545 | 226 | 235 | +9 | 71 | 71 | 0 |
| Y540+Y541+Y544+Y545 | 222 | 238 | +16 | 68 | 73 | +5 |
Every Further Maths A option rose at A*. The Y543 plus Y545 combination went up by 9, from 226 to 235, the Y542 plus Y544 combination by 16 and the headline Y542 plus Y543 pairing by 9. The E boundary rose too, by 5 for the headline pair, from 74 to 79. In MEI, OCR listed 30 combinations against 26 in 2025, and the A* range moved from 285 to 300 in 2025 to 261 to 294. The lowest A* fell by 24 marks.
Ofqual says senior examiners recommend boundaries once marking is nearly complete, and that they reflect how hard each paper was. For 2025 figures see OCR's earlier document.
Each H245 paper, 2026
| Further Maths A papers, 2026, each out of 75 | A* | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y540 01 Pure Core 1, out of 75 | 61 | 52 | 44 | 36 | 28 | 20 |
| Y541 01 Pure Core 2, out of 75 | 60 | 52 | 44 | 36 | 28 | 20 |
| Y542 01 Statistics, out of 75 | 60 | 52 | 44 | 36 | 29 | 22 |
| Y543 01 Mechanics, out of 75 | 59 | 50 | 41 | 33 | 25 | 17 |
| Y544 01 Discrete Mathematics, out of 75 | 62 | 53 | 44 | 35 | 27 | 19 |
| Y545 01 Additional Pure Mathematics, out of 75 | 55 | 46 | 38 | 30 | 22 | 14 |
Y544 Discrete Mathematics needed 62 for a notional A*, the highest of the six, with Y540 on 61 and Y545 Additional Pure on 55, the lowest of the six (it was 57 in 2025). Y543 Mechanics needed 59, against 60 in 2025. These figures are for information only.
Marks to grade: a 2026 example
A candidate sits Y540, Y541, Y542 and Y543 and scores 64, 55, 56 and 52, so 227 out of 300. The 2026 boundaries are 240 for an A*, 206 for an A and 174 for a B. 227 is above 206 and below 240, so the grade is an A, 13 marks short of an A*. The 2025 line for an A* was 231, so the same total was only 4 marks short of it then.
See OCR's A Level grade guide for how marks are totalled and weighted.
Using the Further Maths 2026 table
- Look at your combination's A* gap. It is 34 marks between A and A* for the headline pair.
- Do not borrow another option's line. A Y543 plus Y545 candidate has an A* line 8 marks lower than a Y542 plus Y544 candidate.
- Expect further movement. The headline pair has gone 230, 231, 240 across three years.
- Revise pure first. Pure Core 1 and 2 are compulsory and carry 150 of the 300 marks.
Sit today's Further Maths paper
Further Maths gives you a daily paper of 8 questions to try. It is not an OCR paper, so use the result as a guide. In 2026 the headline pair's A needed 69% of the total, and the A* needed 80%.
