Overall grade boundaries

Grade 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Mark range 0-14 15-29 30-44 45-59 60-74 75-84 85-100

Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be supported by working
and/or explanations. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided this is
shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working.
