A teenage girl looking at her A level results with her parents.

It’s A level results day 2024, which means students across England and Wales will be finding out the grades they received for their recent exams.

Many will be heading off to university , perhaps going through Clearing – though with more students avoiding university altogether these days, some may be taking a gap year or heading straight into the world of work.

More than a quarter of students have received top grades this year, and many will want to know how the grade boundaries affected their results and how they compared to last year’s thresholds.

Here’s everything you need to know about the A level grade boundaries in 2024.

AQA 2024 grade boundaries

The AQA grade boundaries for summer 2024 are available now on the AQA website here .

This includes A level, AS level, Level 3 Certificate in Mathematical Studies, Applied General, Extended Project Qualification, and Functional Skills grade boundaries.

AQA’s grade boundaries were largely the same as those for 2023, though the thresholds needed for top marks in Sciences and Maths went down, while grade boundaries for History went up

OCR 2024 grade boundaries

OCR grade boundaries for A Level, AS level, Core Maths, Cambridge Technicals, Extended Project and FSMQ are now available on the OCR website here .

OCR’s grade boundaries for Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Geography went up, while those for English Language and Religious Studies went down.

Most subjects stayed within one or two marks of the previous year.

Pearson Edexcel 2024 grade boundaries

Pearson Edexcel A Level grade boundaries are now available on the exam board’s website here .

Alongside A level grade boundaries, AS level, T level, BTEC and functional skills are available.

Grade boundaries for History went up, while many subjects including English Language, French and Spanish saw their thresholds go down in 2024.

What grades are available at A level and how many Ucas points are they worth?

The grades available at A level, from highest to lowest, are: A*, A, B, C, D, E and U. Grades A* to E are a pass, while a U (unclassified) is a fail.

There is no grade A* at AS level, the highest possible grade is an A.

The number of Ucas points awarded for each grade is as follows:

  • A*: 56 points
  • A: 48 points
  • B: 40 points
  • C: 32 points
  • D: 24 points
  • E: 16 points

Some universities and courses will make offers based on the total number of Ucas Tariff points you earn.
