Grade action planner

Edexcel GCSE Maths (1MA1). Put in a mark you actually scored, pick the grade you want, and see how far apart they are — and which spec points carried the marks on the papers behind that answer.

Your entry and your own mark

Tier

Add the three papers of a mock or a past paper you sat under exam conditions. Your own mark is the only score on this page — nothing here estimates one for you.

Grade 7 across the last 3 summer series published here

Add your mark above to see the gap.

  • June 2026: 146 marks
  • June 2025: 156 marks
  • June 2024: 137 marks

Boundaries are set fresh every series and move year to year, so the gap is a range, not one number.

Where the marks sat

Every 1MA1 spec point on the Higher tier, heaviest first, with the mean marks it carried per 240-mark exam across the sampled papers and a running total.

Where these numbers come from

Averaged across 21 complete Higher papers (June 2019 to November 2024); marks split equally between spec points where a question is tagged to more than one.

Historical mean over 7 series, not a prediction.

472 questions were counted across those papers on this tier; 225 of them are tagged to more than one spec point, so their marks are split between those points rather than counted once per point.

6 sampled papers (Foundation and Higher) are left out because their questions do not add up to a full paper: June 2023 paper 1H (65 of 80 marks); June 2023 paper 2H (64 of 80 marks); June 2023 paper 3H (66 of 80 marks); November 2023 paper 1H (58 of 80 marks); November 2023 paper 2H (73 of 80 marks); November 2023 paper 3H (69 of 80 marks).

Edexcel GCSE Maths (1MA1) is the only qualification with a question-by-question mark census on this site, so it is the only one this page covers.
