GCSE Science Grade Boundaries
Knowing the grade boundaries for your GCSE science exam can help you understand how marks translated into grades in previous years, but the boundaries for your own exam aren’t released until results day. Grade boundaries change annually and vary between exam boards, so they can only ever be used as a guide. For example, on the AQA Chemistry paper in 2025, a score of 150 would have been awarded a grade 9, and 132 would have been awarded a grade 8.
GCSE Science Specifications
The exam specifications for your GCSE science exam help you focus your revision in the right areas. Things like cell structure, bioenergetics and plant tissue are all topics you'll need to revise ahead of your exams.
Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is it to pass GCSE science?
Doing well in GCSE science requires a good knowledge of three very deficient subjects: chemistry, biology and physics. For this reason, it can be seen as a challenging subject to do well in, as you need to revise and memorise many different topics.
Is 43 a fail in GCSE science?
A score of 43 will typically achieve you a grade 4 or a grade 3, depending on the exam body that’s assigned your paper.
Will I have to retake science if I fail?
If you fail your GCSE science, you won’t need to retake it. However, many students choose to, as it’s seen as one of the main grades that give you access to further education. While failing science isn’t the end of the world, passing it can open lots of doors in the future.
