How much do AQA A-level Computer Science grade boundaries change?
An A needed between 237 and 245 marks from 2023 to 2025. The planner shows what you need on each of those years' boundaries.
Do all papers count the same?
No. AQA weights the papers so the total is out of 375: Paper 1 is scaled from 100 to 150 marks; Paper 2 is scaled from 100 to 150 marks. The planner applies the same weighting to your marks.

What it does
Enter your marks so far and pick a grade: see the marks you need on the AQA Computer Science papers still to sit.
AQA A-level Computer Science (7517): every published series since 2017.
Method
- Add your marks on the papers you have sat, real or mock. A blank paper is one still to sit.
- Take your target grade's boundary from the latest series and subtract your marks.
- The rest is what the papers still to sit must bring in, never more than they are worth.
- The same sum on each recent year's boundary gives the range.
- Where the board weights papers, your marks are weighted the same way first; with papers of different weights left, the marks are shared out evenly across them.
