Which boundaries

Common questions

What were the History grade boundaries in June 2026?

In June 2026, an A needed 134 out of 200 and an E needed 45 on route AA. On route AB, an A needed 134 out of 200 and an E needed 43. On route AD, an A needed 136 out of 200 and an E needed 44. The full table, with the boundaries for each paper, is at the top of this page.

Where do these AQA A level History grade boundaries come from?

Every number is copied from AQA's own published grade boundary document for that series, which is linked under each table. We lay them out by course so you don't have to search a document covering every subject, and nothing is changed or estimated.

Why do grade boundaries change every year?

Boundaries are set after each exam has been marked, so that a grade means the same standard even when one year's paper is harder than another's. A harder paper usually has lower boundaries. That is why an old paper is best marked against its own year's boundaries, which is what the tables here are for.

When are new History grade boundaries published?

AQA publishes grade boundaries on results day: for summer exams that is mid August for A levels and a week later for GCSEs, and November and January series get theirs on their own results days. We add them here after that, usually well before the papers themselves are released.

More grade boundaries: every AQA course or every board.
