2. I am a bit confused about the grading thresholds. I my mark from my 2019 IGCSE English M/J certificate was 81% (A), but when I compared it to the grading threshold for that series, it showed that anything above a 73/100 was an A*. Why do my grades not match the grading thresholds? This occurred with all of my subject marks, not just with English.

   • Hello John,

     The percentage shown in your statement of result is your Percentage Uniform Mark. It shows your percentile, not the total mark achieved for the syllabus. It is a point on a common scale for all syllabuses to show whether the candidate’s performance is close to the top, middle or bottom of the grade.

     If you have further questions, feel free to write to us again. Thank you.

     • Thank you. I understand this much better now. When marking past papers, could I then use the grading thresholds for each exam session to determine what grade (A-G) I get for each paper?

       • Hello John,

         Yes, you can do that. You may also be interested in our Mark You Paper service. You can send in your past paper and an examiner will mark it along with feedback on: your mistakes, suggestions to improve, the marks awarded for each question. Please check out the details here: https://www.igcsecentre.com/mark-your-papers/

   • Hello ARC,

     Grade thresholds are not provided because the June 2020 exams did not take place. CAIE used assessed grade methodology to award grades.

     Thank you.

   • Hello Yusra,

     CAIE has considered the adjustments they can make to the syllabuses to make it easier for teachers and students to meet the syllabus requirements. They aim to balance the circumstances with the need to maintain the standard of the qualification. This is so that valid comparisons between performance in this series and previous and future series can be made. This means that the adjustments cannot compromise the knowledge, skills and competencies that are being assessed in the syllabus.

     Please also be guided that if adjustments are available, you need to apply for permission to use them before the exam or before submitting work.

     For the complete list of the relevant syllabus and component, please kindly read CAIE’s full announcement here: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/covid/june-2021-exam-series/

     Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
