What are the Eduqas GCSE Art & Design grade boundaries?

Eduqas Art & Design boundaries - June 2025 (out of 200 marks)

Each row is the minimum total raw mark across every paper in the qualification (specification C650). A mark exactly on the boundary earns the grade.

Which option you sat

Eduqas publishes Art & Design boundaries for 6 option combinations. In June 2025 they landed on the same marks, so the table above holds whichever option your school entered you for.

Will the next series use the same boundaries?

No - and that is the system working. Eduqas sets boundaries at awarding meetings after every script is marked, so a harder paper gets lower boundaries and a gentler one gets higher ones, and a grade means the same standard each year. The June 2025 marks above are the most recent the board has published, which makes them the best available planning anchor - just not a promise about your own series.

How to use these numbers in your revision

Score your past papers against the table and you turn a raw mark into a grade signal - that is exactly what our grade calculator below does for you, including the marks between you and the next grade up. Then aim a comfortable margin above the boundary you want: boundaries move, and marks in the bank beat marks at the line.

Keep the units straight when you do it: the marks above are totals across the whole qualification, not per paper. If you sat one past paper, compare percentages rather than raw marks.
