WJEC A-level Further Maths grade boundaries June 2026
Further Maths (1305) has three AS units of 80 uniform marks each, A2 Unit 4 of 210, and a choice of Unit 5 or Unit 6 of 150, per the specification. A candidate takes five of the six, so the A level adds to 600 and the AS to 240. All six units are on the first table, and the raw marks below are for 2026.
| Unit | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Further Maths AS Unit 1 | 64 | 56 | 48 | 40 | 32 |
| Further Maths AS Unit 2 | 64 | 56 | 48 | 40 | 32 |
| Further Maths AS Unit 3 | 64 | 56 | 48 | 40 | 32 |
| Further Maths A2 Unit 4 | 168 | 147 | 126 | 105 | 84 |
| Further Maths A2 Unit 5 | 120 | 105 | 90 | 75 | 60 |
| Further Maths A2 Unit 6 | 120 | 105 | 90 | 75 | 60 |
Raw marks per unit, 2026
The raw marks come from WJEC's grade converter for June 2026.
| Unit | A, 2026 | B | C | D | E | A, change on 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS Unit 1 | 46 | 39 | 32 | 26 | 20 | −1 |
| AS Unit 2 | 45 | 38 | 31 | 24 | 18 | −2 |
| AS Unit 3 | 42 | 35 | 28 | 21 | 15 | −5 |
| A2 Unit 4 | 96 | 81 | 67 | 53 | 39 | +5 |
| A2 Unit 5 | 57 | 48 | 39 | 31 | 23 | −3 |
| A2 Unit 6 | 56 | 47 | 38 | 29 | 21 | −3 |
A worked total
A candidate who takes Unit 5 scores 44, 43, 40, 94 and 57 raw marks in Units 1 to 5. The converter gives 62, 62, 62, 165, 120 uniform marks, a total of 471 out of 600. That is above the B boundary of 420 and 9 short of A at 480. The A2 units give 285, and an A* needs 324 of the 360.
The three AS units
The three AS units carry the same 80 uniform marks but moved differently. An A needed 46, 45 and 42 raw marks in Units 1, 2 and 3 in 2026, against 47, 47 and 47 in 2025, so Unit 3 fell by 5. A2 Unit 4 went up by 5, to 96, the highest A boundary of any unit in our six subjects.
Senedd Research reports that 29.6% of A level grades in Wales were A* or A in 2026.
If you are choosing between Unit 5 and Unit 6, the 2026 boundaries are almost level, at 57 and 56 for an A and 23 and 21 for an E. The choice should come from the content you prefer. The converter treats both on the same 150 uniform marks, and the A* test uses whichever you sit.
What the numbers say
- Unit 4 is the heavy one. It is 210 of the 600 uniform marks, and an A needed 96 raw marks.
- Choose between Units 5 and 6 with care. Their A boundaries were 57 and 56, close together.
- Unit 3 gave way most. An A fell from 47 to 42.
