How are Cambridge International A Level grades determined?
A candidate’s Cambridge International A Level grade is determined by their total mark for all the papers of the Cambridge International A Level qualification, including the Cambridge International AS Level papers. The Cambridge International AS Level papers always account for 50% of the weighting of the total Cambridge International A Level.
For example, a candidate obtained 55 marks out of 100 in their Cambridge International AS Level Economics in June 2009. In June 2010 they took the two remaining Cambridge International A Level papers in Economics and obtained 20 out of 30 and 37 out of 70 for them, a total of a further 57 marks. Their total mark for International A Level Economics was therefore 112 out of 200.
We compared that with the thresholds for different grades for International A Level Economics used in June 2010 and determined that 112 marks was worth a grade C at International A Level. If the candidate had obtained 72 marks in their June 2010 papers instead of only 57, their aggregate Cambridge International A Level total would have been 127 marks out of 200, which in that particular subject in that particular year would have been enough for a grade B at International A Level.
