Use this spreadsheet to work out grade boundaries for the AQA GCSE in any of the modern foreign languages. Select the data page and enter the grade boundaries of your choice (possibly from last year’s examination series), then use the spreadsheet to work out how your students are progressing. No one can know the boundaries for sure as they will vary from year to year depending on the ability profile of the national cohort and the perceived level of difficulty of the exam papers, but at least this will give an idea as to how individuals are doing in each of the skills.
I’m not an expert at creating spreadsheets, so a big thank you goes to our school data manager for putting my ideas into a usable format.

You’re welcome. Don’t forget to amend the grade boundaries once the first round of results are published.

You are very welcome! Now that the first series of results has been published, you will need to alter the data page accordingly. My boundaries all proved to be severe - not a bad thing when preparing pupils for the exams! I would raise the official boundaries a little to work out grades for 2019. Teachers will be more experienced in delivering the new specification which will probably improve the marks pupils get.

We just need to wait for the first set of results and then use them to edit the tracker. I spent a lot of time trying to work out grade boundaries, this is my best ‘educated’ guess!
