The document lists minimum raw marks for each component grade (A to E) for multiple components, explains that A* is not available at single-component level, and describes how candidates’ component marks convert to syllabus grades. It also provides syllabus grade thresholds based on weighted component combinations for linear and staged A Level assessments and AS Level combinations, plus notes about regions using percentage uniform marks (PUMs).",{"@graph":14,"@context":71},[15,34,54],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/grade-thresholds-march-2026-cambridge-international-as-a-level-business-9609/645130/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":48,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":49,"interactionStatistic":50},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/grade-thresholds-march-2026-cambridge-international-as-a-level-business-9609/645130.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"jayni","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-23",true,{"@type":51,"interactionType":52,"userInteractionCount":22},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":53},"ViewAction",{"@type":55,"mainEntity":56},"FAQPage",[57,63,67],{"name":58,"@type":59,"acceptedAnswer":60},"What are component grade thresholds for March 2026 in Business (9609)?","Question",{"text":61,"@type":62},"The document provides the minimum raw marks required for each component to achieve grades A, B, C, D, or E for the March 2026 exam series.","Answer",{"name":64,"@type":59,"acceptedAnswer":65},"Is an A* grade available at individual component level?",{"text":66,"@type":62},"No. The document states that grade A* does not exist at the level of an individual component;
