OCR A level Computer Science Overall Grade Calculator

I have created this quick grade calculator to help predict grades a little more accurately.

This uses the 2019 grade boundaries and raw marks from Paper 1, Paper 2 and NEA. I have used my most recent mock exams for the Paper 1 and Paper 2 marks.

I have then added a table that calculates 5% added to the exam paper raw marks, and another table with 10% (students always do slightly better in their final exams compared to their mocks and you may see a pattern from past year groups between 5 and 10% increase). Both tables have a cell that calculates how many marks would be needed to get up to the next grade (ie if, with the 5% added, the student is on a C grade - how many more marks would they need to get for the B grade).

Of course, due to covid the grade boundaries are very likely to come down slightly but I have found the “how many more marks” has been really helpful to see if I think the student has a chance for that next grade up… usually you can see if it is really unlikely (I don’t think the grade boundaries are going to come down substantially).

I hope this helps with predictions, but also to help discuss what they need to be working toward on their individual papers.
