Grade Boundaries
Edexcel International GCSE (9-1)
June 2024
Understanding our Edexcel International GCSE (9-1) grade boundaries
This document shows the grade boundaries for reformed Edexcel International GCSE (9-1)
qualifications. For each set of grade boundaries, the maximum number of available marks is also
shown.
International GCSE (9-1) qualifications are linear, and only the maximum mark and grade
boundaries for the overall qualification are available in this document. These are given in raw marks.
Definition of terms
A grade boundary is the minimum mark at which a numbered grade (between 9 and 1) can be
achieved. For example, if the grade boundary for a Grade 6 is 70 marks, then 70 is the minimum
mark at which a Grade 6 can be achieved. A mark of 69 would therefore be a Grade 5.
For linear qualifications, all assessments must be taken in the same exam session.
