Summer 2025 results support for Psychology qualifications

You can access Summer 2025 grade boundaries on our website from results day. In addition to the official grade boundaries that are produced at subject level, we will also be providing notional grade boundaries at paper level. These can help you mark and assess future mocks.

• View grade boundaries
• View guidance on setting grade boundaries

Linear qualifications (for example UK GCSEs and A Levels have grade boundaries set at qualification level based on raw or scaled marks.

Our International A Levels are different, and for each unit raw marks are converted to Uniform Mark Scale marks with fixed grade boundaries using a unique converstion table. It is these UMS marks that appear on candidates' results slips, and which will be used to determine their final grade.

The UMS can be confusing for students and for teachers, so we have produced this video guide to aid teachers in advising their students.

You can also use our free Access to Scripts service to view your candidates’ marked exam scripts online or download as a PDF. It is available from results day until the 12 December 2025.

Providing a rich source of information, you can use this service to help make decisions about requesting a review of marking, but it can also help inform future teaching and learning and gives insights and visibility that performance data alone cannot provide. 

If scripts have been marked ‘traditionally’ (ie not online), you will need to request them, free of charge, by 12 December 2025, via the Post Results section of Edexcel Online as in previous exam series. 

Note, you will need 'Exam viewer' in your Edexcel Online profile if you want to download candidate scripts from results day. Please ask your Exams Officer if you need this adding to your profile.Discover more about Access to Scripts, along with FAQs and a step-by-step User Guide.

Please note, candidate consent is required before requesting script copies, as per section 4.2 of the JCQ's Post-results services guide. Candidate consent can only be obtained after results have been published.
