Common questions
What were the Australian History grade boundaries in November 2025?
In November 2025, an A+ needed 118 out of 140 and a C needed 63 on written Examination. The full table, with the boundaries for each paper, is at the top of this page.
Where do these VCAA VCE Australian History grade boundaries come from?
Every number is copied from VCAA'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 Australian History grade boundaries published?
VCAA publishes the grade distributions for each year’s exams in the following year, once all results are final. We add them here after that.
More grade boundaries: every VCAA course or every board.
