Frequently asked
- What was the A boundary for Portuguese Language in June 2026?
- For Papers 01, 02, 03, an A needed 91 out of 140 weighted marks (65%). Other paper combinations have their own thresholds — see the table above.
- What mark was a pass (grade E) in Portuguese Language June 2026?
- Grade E is the lowest pass. For Papers 01, 02, 03 it needed 48/140 (35%). 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.
- Did Portuguese Language grade boundaries go up or down in June 2026?
- Compared with June 2025, the A boundary for Papers 01, 02, 03 was unchanged (91 → 91) and the E boundary was unchanged (48 → 48). Boundaries move to keep the standard constant when a paper turns out harder or easier than usual.
