What it does
Enter your marks so far and pick a grade: see the marks you need on the OCR Physics papers still to sit.
OCR A-level Physics (H556 and H557): 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.
