Where a syllabus has several paper variants or entry options in a series, each cell shows the lowest and highest threshold across them. Thresholds for Core routes and the remaining grades are in the source documents.
How to read these numbers
Across the 9 series in the table, the highest grade 9 threshold ranged from 158 to 185. 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.
