Grade thresholds - March 2026 - Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics (9702)

Oct 23, 2026

Upload by jayni

Grade thresholds for Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics (9702) for the March 2026 exam series, covering component and syllabus grade minimums. Component thresholds specify minimum raw marks required for grades A to E across components 1–5. Syllabus thresholds convert weighted component results into grade boundaries, including linear (A Level) and staged assessment combinations. A note clarifies that Cambridge percentage uniform marks (PUMs) are not equivalent to raw/component marks and cannot be used with the grade threshold documentation.

Your candidates’ component marks can be found in Cambridge International Direct or on the component mark report (CMR) . A guide to converting component marks into syllabus grades can be found on our website here. Syllabus grade thresholds Syllabus grade thresholds for syllabus 9702 (Physics) 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 do the component grade thresholds show for March 2026 Physics (9702)?

They list the minimum raw marks required for each grade (A, B, C, D, E) for individual components in the March 2026 exam series.

How are syllabus grade thresholds determined for 9702?

They are the minimum marks required for each syllabus grade and are determined from the weighted component thresholds for the listed components.

Can percentage uniform marks (PUMs) be used with the grade threshold tables?

No. PUMs are additional information and are not the same as raw or component marks, so they cannot be used with the grade thresholds documentation.
