Component 11 100 57 46 35 30
Component 12 100 65 49 36 29
Component 13 100 66 48 35 29
Component 21 80 64 45 21 15
Component 22 80 63 39 16 12
Component 31 80 60 40 20 15
Component 32 80 61 45 26 21

The threshold (minimum mark) for B is set halfway between those for Grades A and C. The threshold
(minimum mark) for D is set halfway between those for Grades C and E. The threshold (minimum mark) for
G is set as many marks below the F threshold as the E threshold is above it. Grade A* does not exist at the
level of an individual component.

The thresholds for the syllabus are determined first by adding together the thresholds for the components
taken by the candidate. A reduction may be made at the higher grades depending on the correlation of the
papers. If the maximum raw marks for the components are not in the weighting/relationship specified in the
syllabus, a weighting is applied to arrive at the overall thresholds. The A* threshold is calculated using the
difference between A and B as a starting point.

The maximum total mark for this syllabus is 300.

The overall thresholds for the different grades were set as follows.
