What to actually aim for

Across the 3 years on record this boundary has ranged from 209 to 215 — a spread of 6 marks. Aiming at the most recent figure means aiming at the middle of a moving target, so 217 is the safer number: the highest it has been, plus a small buffer for a year that has not happened yet.

Boundaries are set after every paper is marked, precisely so that a grade means the same thing in an easy year and a hard one. That is why nobody — not this page, not your teacher, not the board — can tell you next summer's number in advance. Anyone who gives you one exactly is guessing.

Questions

What do I need for a B in Edexcel Geography?

213 out of 350 — 61% — on the June 2026 boundaries. Across the years on record it has ranged 209 to 215, so aim nearer 217.

Will the boundary be the same next year?

Almost certainly not. Boundaries are set after marking so that a grade represents the same standard however hard the paper was. A harder paper gets a lower boundary and an easier one gets a higher boundary.

How far is a B above a C?

29 marks on the most recent boundaries — usually a question or two, not a different student.
