Component 2 70 43 37 19
Component 3 40 28 24 14
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 Thresholds are published for all GCE A/AS and IGCSE subjects where a corresponding mark scheme
is available.
