Question: what are the gcse maths levels?
Answer: For those less familiar with the detail of GCSE maths, there are two tiers: foundation and higher. Each tier is targeted at a range of the new numerical grades: 9 to 4 on the higher tier (with a 'safety net' grade 3 for students scoring a small number of marks below grade 4), and 5 to 1 on the foundation tier.
