What marks do I need for an A*?

Estimate against official historical boundaries. These do not guarantee future grade thresholds.

YearRoute or optionTarget gradeMarks scored so farMarks available so far

You would need 160 more marks from the remaining 200 to match the A threshold.

Grade-boundary trends

This subject uses official route or option-specific boundaries, so trend comparisons are shown in the year tables rather than collapsed into one combined trend.

Turn the boundary into a revision plan

Use your target grade to decide which topics need more marks.

History course

Spec-aligned notes, lessons and topic practice.

Flashcards

Use active recall to strengthen weak grade-boundary areas.

Predicted papers
