Grade threshold explorer
The minimum mark needed for each grade in the June 2026 series, for 5 flagship Cambridge specifications – copied directly from Cambridge's own official grade-threshold documents, not estimated. Each table lists every single-series paper-combination route Cambridge published for that specification, so you can find your own exact combination rather than a single "representative" one; for AS & A Level Chemistry (9701) and Physics (9702), the staged-assessment routes (AS and A2 papers sat in different series) are not reproduced – see the note under those tables. The figures are syllabus grade thresholds out of Cambridge's maximum weighted mark, exactly as Cambridge publishes them: Cambridge derives them from the weighted component thresholds. They are not percentage uniform marks.
Historical grade thresholds do not predict future thresholds. Cambridge sets each series' thresholds independently based on how that specific paper performed – use the table below to understand a past series, not to estimate a future one.

Why grade thresholds change every series
Cambridge sets grade thresholds independently for every exam series, based on how that specific paper performed — not on a fixed percentage. This is deliberate: it accounts for small variations in how demanding a particular paper turned out to be, so a grade means the same standard of achievement across different series even when the papers themselves aren't identically difficult. The practical result is that a mark that earned a B in one series might earn an A or a C in another — always check the threshold table for the exact series you sat, not a different one, and never assume this series' numbers will repeat next time.
Earlier series: thresholds and examiner-report notes
Our past-papers guides list the grade thresholds for every earlier series we hold (from 2020 onwards for some syllabuses), copied from Cambridge's grade-threshold documents, with a note of what each series' examiner report said.
