Read this before you read the numbers
These are past thresholds. They are not predictions.
Cambridge sets the threshold for a paper after that paper has been sat and marked, so the number moves every session with the difficulty of the paper and the performance of the whole cohort. Nothing on this page forecasts a future boundary, and no page on this site does. Use these to see the range a paper has sat in, not to decide what you will need next session.
Every number is copied from a named Cambridge document.
Nothing here is averaged, interpolated or estimated. The one figure calculated on this page is the percentage, which is the published mark divided by the maximum raw mark printed on the same row, rounded to the nearest whole number. The 15 source documents are listed at the foot of the page.
These are component thresholds, not overall grades.
Each row is one paper. Cambridge awards the overall grade from your total across the papers you sat, so clearing the A threshold on one component is not the same as an A for the syllabus.
Thresholds by component
Newest sitting first. 6 components, 15 sittings, grades A to E.
