Frequently asked
- What is a typical A* boundary in Portuguese?
- Across 5 sessions from June 2022 to June 2026, the A* boundary for Papers 01, 02, 03 and 04 has ranged from 79% (June 2022) to 84% (June 2023), averaging 82%. The E boundary has ranged from 40% to 45%. In June 2026 it was 82% for A* and 43% for E.
- How is the Portuguese 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 01, 02, 03, 04 in June 2026 the maximum was 200; the calculator above does this arithmetic for you.
- Why do Portuguese 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.
