Frequently asked
- What was the A* boundary for Accounting in June 2022?
- For Papers 11, 21, 31, an A* needed 245 out of 340 weighted marks (73%). Other paper combinations have their own thresholds — see the table above.

- Why are the paper thresholds different from the overall boundaries?
- Cambridge sets a threshold for each paper (component) first, then weights and adds them to get the syllabus boundary for each combination of papers. Your grade comes from the weighted total, not from any single paper. Paper thresholds have no A* — the A* only exists at syllabus level.

- Compared with March 2022, the A* boundary for Papers 11, 21, 31 rose by 17 marks (228 → 245) and the E boundary rose by 8 marks (76 → 84). Boundaries move to keep the standard constant when a paper turns out harder or easier than usual.
