Grade thresholds for the March 2026 Cambridge International AS & A Level Art and Design (9479) exam series. The document lists component-level minimum raw marks for grade A, B, C, D, and E across components 01–03, explains that an A* grade does not apply to individual components, and describes how candidates’ component marks convert to syllabus grades. It provides weighted mark threshold tables for linear assessment and staged assessment, plus notes on percentage uniform marks (PUMs) and why they cannot be used for grade-threshold documentation.

Syllabus grade thresholds Syllabus grade thresholds for syllabus 9479 (Art and Design) in the March 2026 exam series. Syllabus grade thresholds are the minimum marks required for each grade. They are determined from the weighted component thresholds for the listed components. Some Cambridge International entry options offer more than one possible route to a grade. Where this is the case, candidates are awarded the best grade available to them based on the combination of components they have taken.

They are an additional piece of information provided on the Statements of Results for each candidate. This mark is not the same as the raw or component mark achieved and cannot be used with the grade thresholds documentation. See our guide to percentage uniform marks which gives an explanation of what percentage uniform marks are and states the percentage uniform mark range (thresholds) .

FAQs

What minimum raw marks are required for grades A to E for each component in March 2026?

The document provides tables for component 01, component 02, and component 03, listing the minimum raw marks required for grades A, B, C, D, and E in the March 2026 exam series.

Does an A* grade exist at the level of an individual component?

No. The document states that grade A* does not exist at the level of an individual component; A* is determined through syllabus grade thresholds based on weighted components.

How do candidates’ component marks relate to syllabus grades?

Syllabus grade thresholds are the minimum marks required for each grade and are determined from the weighted component thresholds for the listed components. Candidates receive the best available grade based on the combination of components taken when multiple routes exist.
