Why Most IGCSE Grade-Boundary Predictions Are Wrong

Can anyone really predict grade boundaries before results day? 🔮

Every exam season, social media fills with “confirmed” boundaries, Reddit polls and predictions based on how difficult the paper felt.

But the official boundaries are set only after the examinations have been taken and marked.

Exam boards consider:

📄 The difficulty of the paper
📊 Actual candidate performance
🎓 The ability of the cohort
🔍 Expert judgement and statistical evidence

This is why last year’s boundary cannot simply be applied to this year’s paper—and why a difficult-paper reaction does not guarantee a dramatically lower boundary.

Predictions can still be useful, but only as a possible range. Never treat one predicted number as your confirmed result.

Save this before results day and share it with someone worrying about unofficial boundaries. 📌

Which subject is producing the wildest boundary predictions this year?
