Cambridge grade boundaries, one page per syllabus

Cambridge publishes one document per sitting, so comparing four years of one paper means opening four PDFs. Here each syllabus has its whole threshold history on a single page: 190 sittings across 13 syllabuses, as raw marks and as percentages.

What these pages are, and what they are not

These are published thresholds, not predictions.

Every figure on these pages was published by Cambridge after the sitting it belongs to had been marked. None of them forecasts a future boundary, because a boundary does not exist until the papers have been marked. A page that offered you next session's number would be making it up.

Marks and percentages, from the same source row.

Cambridge prints raw marks and students think in percentages, so each cell carries both: the published mark, and that mark over the maximum raw mark for the same paper in the same sitting, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Where a grade is not on offer, it says so.

On the tiered IGCSE sciences a paper set for the lower tier cannot reach the top grades, and Cambridge publishes no threshold for them. Those cells read "Not available on this tier" rather than showing a blank or a zero.

Boards not covered here

Cambridge is the board that publishes the grade threshold document these pages are built from. For the 5 other boards the portal teaches, no threshold is held and none is invented: IB Economics, AQA A-Level, Edexcel A-Level, Edexcel IGCSE, AP Economics.
