Frequently asked
- What was the A boundary for Chinese Language in June 2022?
- For Papers 50, an A needed 36 out of 75 weighted marks (48%). Other paper combinations have their own thresholds — see the table above.
- What mark was a pass (grade E) in Chinese Language June 2022?
- Grade E is the lowest pass. For Papers 50 it needed 8/75 (11%). Below that the result is U (ungraded).
- Why are the paper thresholds different from the overall boundaries?
