Grade A* does not exist as a component grade.A small reduction to the grade threshold may be made at the higher grades to allow for the fact that a candidate may not be required to achieve a particular grade on every component in order to achieve that grade at syllabus level. The sum of the threshold marks for each paper takes into account the contribution that each paper makes to the syllabus. Once we have set the grade thresholds for each paper, we add them together to produce grade thresholds for the syllabus (or syllabus option for syllabuses with more than one route of assessment).We may have to apply a weighting factor to the thresholds before we add them together in order to match what it says in the syllabus about the weight that we give to each paper.In the simplest cases, we can just add up the component thresholds to get the option threshold. An option is a permitted combination of papers or other components that make up the overall qualification. The table also shows the thresholds used for the options available.
#MINI OS 2017 RESULTS SERIES#
The table in the grade threshold document shows the thresholds taken in a particular examination series for each paper or other component that we marked (so not for teacher-marked components, for example).
#MINI OS 2017 RESULTS HOW TO#
How to interpret our grade threshold tables This is to be fair to candidates from one series to another.

To fulfil that aim we have to lower the thresholds from one examination to another if we find that the questions in a paper have been more difficult than last time (or raise the thresholds if we find the questions have been easier). The aim in 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.

These thresholds are decided after each examination has been taken and marked. How do we set grade thresholds?Ī grade threshold is the minimum number of marks that a candidate needs to obtain a particular grade in a paper or in a subject. Before reading the grade threshold document, there is some important information you need to know about how we set the thresholds. A grade threshold is the minimum number of marks that a candidate needs to obtain a particular grade in a paper or in a subject. We publish grade thresholds after each exam series.
