The thresholds (minimum marks) for Grades C and D are normally set by dividing the mark range between the B and the E thresholds into three. For example, if the difference between the B and the E threshold is 24 marks, the C threshold is set 8 marks below the B threshold and the D threshold is set another 8 marks down. If dividing the interval by three results in a fraction of a mark, then the threshold is normally rounded down. Grade A* does not exist at the level of an individual component. The thresholds for the syllabus are determined first by adding together the thresholds for the components taken by the candidate. A reduction may be made at the higher grades depending on the correlation of the papers. If the maximum raw marks for the components are not in the weighting/relationship specified in the syllabus, a weighting is applied to arrive at the overall thresholds. The A* threshold is calculated using the difference between A and B as a starting point. The maximum total mark for this syllabus is 200. For this syllabus in this series the grade thresholds were as follows:
Option AX AY AZ
A* 184 187
A 160 162
B 136 137
C 115 116
D 94 95
E 73 74
Grade Thresholds are published for all GCE A/AS and IGCSE subjects where a corresponding mark scheme is available.
