How the A-Level grade calculator works
Each exam series, Cambridge International publishes the minimum total mark needed for every grade (A* down to E). This tool maps your mark to the matching grade for the session and paper combination you choose. Boundaries shift slightly each series, so always pick the right session — and treat estimates from past series as a guide, not a guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Are these the official grade boundaries?
Figures come from Cambridge International's published grade threshold tables. This is an independent study tool — always confirm against your exam board's official release.
What grade is a pass at A-Level?
Cambridge International AS & A Level subjects are graded A* (highest) to E (lowest pass); below E is ungraded (U). A grade E is the minimum pass, while university offers are typically quoted in A*, A and B grades.
What percentage do you need for an A or A* at A-Level?
There is no fixed percentage — boundaries are set per subject and session. Use the calculator above (or each subject's grade-boundary tables) to see the marks and percentages that were needed in a given series.
