Exam Board Websites – Award and Grade Boundaries
“It can be useful to see how the overall subject grade was achieved. However, it’s important to note that the grade boundaries given for each component in new linear qualifications(AS, A-level and GCSE) are purely notional, and do not always add up to the equivalent subject grade.”
“It is…important not to put too much emphasis on the notional component grades. The sole determinant of a candidate’s grade on a linear exam is his/her total subject mark. It is not calculated by combining grades on the individual components.”
Further information on linear qualifications can be seen here.
