You know what grade your child is aiming for…
But how many marks should they work towards?
My FREE GCSE Maths Target Marks Guide uses historical grade boundaries to suggest sensible marks to aim for during revision.
See how grade boundaries have varied, explore recommended targets for each grade and find out what those targets look like across individual exam papers.
For AQA and Edexcel GCSE Maths, Foundation and Higher.
These are revision targets based on historical grade boundaries, not predictions of future grade boundaries or guaranteed grades.

Suggested marks to aim for on individual papers
Know what needs revising, but not sure where to start?
The Target Marks Guide gives your child a clearer idea of the marks they could aim for during revision, using historical GCSE Maths grade boundaries.
But knowing what to aim for is only part of the picture.
In my GCSE Maths Past Paper Workshops, I'll help your child understand where they're losing marks, identify which topics to prioritise and create a clear, manageable revision plan using my Focus Five Revision Method.
