Where a syllabus has several paper variants or entry options in a series, each cell shows the lowest and highest threshold across them. AS Level thresholds and the remaining options are in the source documents.
How to read these numbers
Across the 7 series in the table, the highest grade A* threshold ranged from 337 to 337. Thresholds change from series to series because each set of papers is different: a harder paper has a lower threshold.
A threshold is the minimum total mark for the grade. Compare your total on a full set of papers with the thresholds for that series and paper variant.
