    Cambridge International Advanced and Advanced Subsidiary Level

    8004 General Paper June 2012


    Grade Thresholds
    University of Cambridge International Examinations 2012
    GENERAL PAPER


    GCE Advanced Level and GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level


    Grade thresholds taken for Syllabus 8004 (General Paper) in the May/June 2012 examination.


    minimum mark required for grade: maximum
    mark
    available
    A B E
    Component 11 100 64 53 39
    Component 12 100 64 53 39
    Component 13 100 64 53 39


    The thresholds (minimum marks) for Grades C and D are normally set by dividing the mark range between
    the B and the E thresholds into three. For example, if the difference between the B and the E threshold is
    24 marks, the C threshold is set 8 marks below the B threshold and the D threshold is set another 8 marks
    down. If dividing the interval by three results in a fraction of a mark, then the threshold is normally rounded
    down. 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.

    For AS Level components, small adjustments may be made to the marks awarded for some versions of the
    paper in order to neutralise any differences in the difficulty of the different versions and so make sure that all
    candidates face an equal demand.

    The maximum total mark for this syllabus is 100 for AS Level.

    For this syllabus in this series the grade thresholds were as follows:


    Option Combination of components A B C D E
    X 11 64 53 48 43 39
    Y 12 64 53 48 43 39
    Z 13 64 53 48 43 39


    Grade Thresholds are published for all GCE A/AS and IGCSE subjects where a corresponding mark scheme
    is available.
