Checked on GCSE results day · 20 August 2026
Open the official OCR June 2026 GCSE grade boundaries and understand overall qualification versus notional component boundaries.
OCR publishes its June 2026 GCSE grade boundaries on its official grade-boundaries page from 08:00 on 20 August 2026. Match the qualification, specification and tier, and use the overall qualification boundary for the final GCSE grade.
OCR's linear GCSE grades are set at qualification level. The total subject mark is compared with the overall boundary table. OCR also publishes notional component boundaries so individual paper performance can be discussed, but these are not separate official paper grades.
Use the June 2026 GCSE document and check the specification code, subject and tier. OCR also publishes boundaries for Cambridge Nationals and other qualifications on the same area of its site, so the qualification type matters.
Ask the exams officer for the component marks and post-results options. Access to the script may help a teacher judge whether a review is sensible. A review can move the mark down, leave it unchanged or move it up.
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.
