Frequently asked
- What was the A boundary for Environmental Management in November 2022?
- For Papers 11, 21, an A needed 99 out of 160 weighted marks (62%). Other paper combinations have their own thresholds — see the table above.
- What mark was a pass (grade E) in Environmental Management November 2022?
- Grade E is the lowest pass. For Papers 11, 21 it needed 57/160 (36%). Below that the result is U (ungraded).
- 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 June 2022, the A boundary for Papers 11, 21 fell by 1 mark (100 → 99) and the E boundary was unchanged (57 → 57). Boundaries move to keep the standard constant when a paper turns out harder or easier than usual.
