Cambridge OCR ExamBuilder is an online service that allows teachers to build their own assessments using a bank of questions from past exams up to the most recent assessment series (which is uploaded during the academic year following the live series). Cambridge OCR ExamBuilder holds thousands of individual questions with mark schemes. You can register to create your own ExamBuilder account on our website.

The grade boundaries for each exam series are published on the Cambridge OCR website each year. You should be aware that there is a rigorous standardisation process before and during the marking of live assessments to ensure comparability between all candidates at all centres. The marks produced by a teacher of their own students’ responses will be unstandardised and should be treated as general guidance only.

The grade boundaries for reformed GCSE (9–1) qualifications is based on total raw marks and will change each year based on the individual assessment and the prior attainment of the students sitting the exam.
