AQA Economics: what each grade takes

Every grade in AQA A-level Economics, with what it took on the most recent published boundaries and how far that figure has moved across the years on record.

Grade	Marks (June 2026)	%	Range on record
A*	178 / 240	74%	173–178
A	154 / 240	64%	149–154
B	132 / 240	55%	127–132
C	110 / 240	46%	105–110
D	88 / 240	37%	83–88
E	66 / 240	28%	61–66

The range column is the useful one. A grade whose boundary has swung ten marks is a grade you should aim well clear of, because next summer's paper has not been written yet, let alone marked.
