Checked on GCSE results day · 20 August 2026
Find official Pearson Edexcel GCSE grade boundaries for 2026 and check the right subject, specification and tier before interpreting a mark.
Pearson publishes official Edexcel grade boundaries through its results and certification grade-boundary index. Choose the most recent June 2026 GCSE document, then match your exact subject, specification code and tier.
Use Pearson's official index and open the GCSE document for the June 2026 series. Match the subject and specification code shown by your centre. If the subject is tiered, confirm whether your entry was foundation or higher. Do not use an International GCSE, previous-series or different-tier table for a UK GCSE result. Similar subject names can still refer to different qualifications.
Each subject and specification has its own total marks and boundaries. Boundaries are set after marking and can change with paper difficulty, so claims that every grade 4 or grade 7 equals one fixed percentage are misleading.
Ask the school for the component detail and whether accessing the script would help. A small gap can make a review worth discussing, but it does not guarantee an error or an increase. Consider the risk, fee, deadline and whether a higher grade changes a real next step.
Continue with the question closest to your next decision. Each guide is source-checked and links back to the official service for case-specific action.
Revise Right is not an exam board. Check your school, college, awarding organisation or regulator before acting on a grade, review, appeal or resit deadline.
No. Boundaries can move because papers differ in difficulty. They are set after marking so that the standard represented by each grade is maintained from year to year.
No. Each exam board sets boundaries for its own specification and papers. Always use the board, subject, specification code and tier shown on your results information.
No. A boundary is a cut-off, so somebody will always be close to it. A review is for checking whether marking rules were applied correctly, not for adding a discretionary mark because you were close.
