What it does

Enter your marks so far and pick a grade: see the marks you need on the AQA Physics papers still to sit.

AQA GCSE Physics (8463), Higher and Foundation: every published series since 2018.

Method

  1. Add your marks on the papers you have sat, real or mock. A blank paper is one still to sit.
  2. Take your target grade's boundary from the latest series and subtract your marks.
  3. The rest is what the papers still to sit must bring in, never more than they are worth.
  4. The same sum on each recent year's boundary gives the range.
