Frequently asked
- What is a typical A* boundary in Accounting?
- Across 11 sessions from March 2023 to June 2026, the A* boundary for Papers 1, 2, 3 and 4 has ranged from 68% (March 2023) to 80% (March 2026), averaging 76%. The E boundary has ranged from 24% to 32%. In June 2026 it was 77% for A* and 29% for E.
- How is the Accounting grade calculated?
- Cambridge converts each paper's raw mark to a weighted mark, adds them, and compares the total with the syllabus thresholds for your combination of papers. For Papers 11, 21, 31, 41 in June 2026 the maximum was 250; the calculator above does this arithmetic for you.
- Why do Accounting grade boundaries change every session?
- Boundaries are set after marking so that a grade represents the same standard whether the paper was slightly harder or easier. A harder paper gets lower boundaries. March, June and November series are set independently, which is why the same grade can need different marks in the same year.
