Hello, I had a question regarding Grade Threshold. Does Cambridge calculate the threshold from marks received by students who sat for the paper in a particular country or is it from all the marks received by all students who sat for the same paper.
E.g; If 500 students sat for Physics Paper Variant 2(P12/P22/P42) and 250 of the students are from Country A and 250 are From Country B. Is the grade threshold different for each country or is it the same for both?
Hi Harry,
Thank you for writing in.
The grade threshold is the same for all the candidates who sat for the same paper.
The thresholds are decided after each examination has been taken and marked. The aim of each year (or examination series) is to set each threshold in just the right place to ensure that it is no more difficult and no less difficult to obtain that grade than it was in the previous year.

We hope this helps.

Good morning IGCSE
Please may I know if the gradings will change for the 2021 exams may june
Hello Jas,
As far as we know, CAIE will use their usual approach to grading exams wherein they use a variety of statistical and judgemental methods. These methods help CAIE maintain the awarding standard from one year to the next.
Furthermore, they are also committed to align their awarding standards to those of equivalent qualifications in England. Many of the candidates will use their grades to apply for courses in competition with people who have grades from equivalent qualifications. Aligning awarding standards ensures that the competition will be fair, without giving an unfair advantage or disadvantage to Cambridge candidates.
Should you have further concerns, it is best that you write to CAIE directly. You may reach them via their website: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/
Thank you.

Hello Blessing,
I am a Y10 British curriculum student, I was supposed to have my maths Cambridge exams in May-June but they got canceled so now Cambridge wanted us to take an online assessment instead. I’m going to go to AS next year and we will take only 3 subjects, I’m planning to take chem, bio, and physics. So I wanted to know if I fail my maths assessment does it mean I won’t get promoted to AS? I’m planning not to take maths next year. Can you please shed some light on this matter
Hello Rabeeah,
It is important to take note that Maths is considered as a core subject when applying to college/university. Therefore, if you are you going to pursue further studies, you must pass Maths at IGCSE and consider taking Maths at AS Level.
Furthermore, some schools require at least five IGCSE certificates at grades 9 to 4/A* to C to continue at AS/A Level
We strongly suggest that you check with your preferred college/university for their entry requirement.
We hope this helps.

Hello,
Iam in year 9 now as a homeschooler.
I don’t have enough data about IGCSE & don’t understand what is meant by these code’s numbers.
Could you please help?
Hi there,
To learn more about IGCSE, we suggest that you read this article: https://www.skolatis.com/what-is-igcse/
With regards to the exam papers, the first four numbers are the subject code (e.g. 5090 is the subject code of Biology), the next three are the exam series and year (s20 is June 2020), the next two letters is for the type of exam paper (QP is question paper, MS is mark scheme), and the last two numbers are the paper number and variant (22 means Paper 2 variant 2).
The variant number is for the different administrative zone. All the different time zones will have different set of papers. This is to maintain exam security, and to manage the timetabling of exams. You may check which administrative zone you are in here: https://www.skolatis.com/cambridge-igcse-exam-schedules/
