In 2024, GCSE grade boundaries are returning to pre-pandemic standards. The two-year transition to these grading levels is now complete, meaning there won't be the COVID-19 related 'protection' measures in place as seen in previous years. This change aims to ensure that grades accurately reflect student performance based on traditional criteria.","inLanguage":"en-GB"},"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https://youngmindsapp.co.uk/blog/gcse-grade-boundaries-2024/#faq-question-1704978372917","position":3,"url":"https://youngmindsapp.co.uk/blog/gcse-grade-boundaries-2024/#faq-question-1704978372917","name":"Will GCSE 2024 be easier?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The GCSE exams in 2024 are not expected to be easier in terms of content or grading standards. The Department for Education (DfE) has requested Ofqual to continue providing additional support materials, such as formulae and equation sheets for subjects like mathematics, physics, and combined science. This support is a recognition of the unique educational disruptions faced by the student cohort during their early secondary years due to the pandemic. However, these measures are aimed at assisting students rather than making the exams easier.","inLanguage":"en-GB"},"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https://youngmindsapp.co.uk/blog/gcse-grade-boundaries-2024/#faq-question-1704978386700","position":4,"url":"https://youngmindsapp.co.uk/blog/gcse-grade-boundaries-2024/#faq-question-1704978386700","name":"Will gcse grade boundaries be lower 2024?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The grade boundaries for GCSEs in 2024 are expected to align more closely with pre-pandemic levels, as the transition to pre-pandemic grading standards is now complete.
