Grade boundaries are set by examiners for the whole qualification at 7, 4 and 1 and the
intermediate grades are calculated arithmetically by calculating equal intervals. This might
lead to some rounded figures and the thus three paper boundaries at a given grade may not
add exactly to the overall boundary at that grade.
