OCR marks for GCSE Art and Design objectives A01 – 4

 

94% has been the A* boundary in recent years. So if marks for each objective give a total equaling this, the candidate should gain the A*.

 

However this must be the total for the Coursework and the Exam.

 

 A fairly accurate formula is C/Work mark multiplied by .6 plus the exam mark multiplied by .4

 

e.g.                                                                 C/W 96 X .6 = 57.6

plus

Exam mark of 94 X .4 = 37                        Total  95.2%
