- In this video I break down the process of how your grade changes from the raw marks to the percentage uniform mark (PUM) that you see on your final Cambridge result slip. This process of converting your component marks is also documented on the CIE website. I've put the links to the resources that I used from their website below.

I wish you the very best as you journey through A Level Math. You got this!!!
I'm currently working on some threshold prediction videos. Are there any other videos you guys would like?
how to not kill yourself after only attempting 10 marks in p3
Could you provide an yearly plan for prep for p3 and s1? I will give them next year like do this notes and then this and then this like a complete guideline
Pls do threshold for physics bio maths and chem 🙏🙏
Could you predict for may june 32, 42, 92 (oct nov 12, 52 carried forward)
Could you do it for O levels as well pleaseee🥺🥺
I just did pure 3 component 2 today and i am in TEARS
Cambridge did us so dirty
fr
pure maths 3 component 3 was also hard, hope the grade boundaries will not be that high
so much integration man
@@thabanamak2649 Yes brother even in the trigo part b the question was linked with integration
@@NeymardaSilvaSantosJunio-ey5tp they removed all the free mark questions man even the fucking iteration we had to integrate
Todays paper was so hard compared to past papers. I was on track for an A in math but now i'm worried
yea, that was the hardest paper 3 ive ever done
@@water5795 It was too easy bro
@@moviesforyou6794 nah it’s harder than any other paper 3, unless you go back before 2015
@@moviesforyou6794yes you are right it is way too easy.
paper four was soo hard too.
this video helped so much thank you!
wanted to ask if dividing the marks by the weightage and multiplying it with the weighting factor is the same thing?
Hi, what do you think will happen to the 9709 p1 cancellation?
What if i get a B in maths p1 and E in p3 and U in mechanics and D in stats . what would be the overall grade.. I have made my calculations and i fall ion D or E grade according to overall threshold
hi so im not in the uk, im in India. So we still have the As/A2 system, where we write As levels one year, and A2 the year after. So, As papers and A2 papers are from different years. How would cambridge grade for A level? Please help!
I had my physics paper today. It didn’t go well. I want to cover up for it in my next two papers. However my friends are telling me that paper 2 which I gave today has highest weighting factor which is 43%. My rest papers add up to 31% and 26%. How can I recover to at least get a B
Hey bro, I have a question. I was 15 minutes late for the exam, so my invigilator gave me an extra 15 minutes at the end of the exam. However, the invigilator didn't give me the form that needs to be filled out and attached to the exam paper, which mentions the details of taking extra time and the reason for it. Is that a problem?
What grades will i get in physics
I got 3As in As level in may june 2023 and recently gave A level in may june 2024 ,and expecting 75 marks in p4 and almost 20 in p5 ,will i be able to get an A* 😭😭 i am worried
Can you pls solve s2 9709 may June 2017 v72??😢
Please kindly get the paper 5 and 3
can you explain the mark for 3 papers of physics/chem , p1 p2 p3 , their grade threshold for A* is not given in either websites
do you guys reckon thresholds for p3 will be lower this yr? i had an A in p1 and m1 and hopefully an A in s1 n was on track to getting an a* (which is the grade req for the uni i wanna go to) but im not too sure if i can get an a in p3 if thresholds are around 58 again. anyone reckon a's in all components n b in p3 can add up to an a*?
Definitely not.
what if we gave two of those components in AS level and other two in A levels like the EV syllabus code how is that then calculated?
As marks are carried forward. They keep your AS marks from before then add it to your new A2 marks and the sum is your final A level mark which they then convert into a grade the same way he mentioned in the video.
@@Obaid-Ur-Rahman342 to convert these marks into grade, what threshold do they use for the A level marks ?
@@jinx3241 they use the threshold for that series. So if you did AS in 2022 and your marks were 100/125 and you did A2 in 2023 and your marks were 100/125 aswell then your total marks for A levels will be 200/250. They will carry Forward your marks from AS and give you a final grade.
Let's say if the threshold for an A* is on 195/260 ( after weightage being applied) and if the candidate gets like 190 or 193. So does Cambridge provide any range for uncertainty for grade allocation. In short will the person be given a A* or an A.
A
@@Spooka56-_77 cruel world we live in
We give paper 180 marks but the threshold comes from 200 so we get 20 percent for our total grade
my p3 went kinda smooth im aiming for about 38 marks and i think its enough to score a C overall
My chemistry paper 2 was a trash today. But if I work hard on paper 1 so are there chances ofine getting passed
Yes
please make prediction on Math paper as P3 paper feel really tough is any chance to get low threesold than O/N 2023 ?
I will definitely do that. Let me look at the numbers first and I'll give you my thoughts on the threshold for P3.
I am confused. I appeared for Pakistan studies Cie exam in 2022 and I got an A but when I reviewed my component grades I had an A in both the components history and geography but my total grade for both the components is A not an A* . Why ????
They first mark & grade your indiviual paper and make a threshold for the individual components. This does not have an A*.
Next they make the thresholds for you overall subject. This will be the grade you get. The marks you'll need for an A as final grade will the sum of the marks needed for an A in all the individual components.
For example; I also gave Pakistan Studies in 2022. My grade in History ended up being an A and my grade in Geography ended up being a B, but my final grade on the marksheet was an A.
I probably got a high A and a high B which ended up totalling to an A
Sir I have a question.physics and chemistry all three component(12,22,33) marks add up to 140 but in threshold they give 130 as total marks for these components. Can you please help me with that?
the thing is weightage for p33 is less than p1 hence forth you can say that its out of 30 for p3
This video explained Linear Interpolation better without even trying to lol.
I'm curious about how they calculate the final grade when you give two components in A levels.
For example:
This session (May June 2024), i gave Maths 9709 P12 & P52.
Next year in the session, May June 2025, i will be giving Maths 9709 P32 & P42.
I understand how they'll apply theshold to my P12 & P52 components, but how will it work for the components P32 & P42 ?
Hey can I ask you a question
I did pure math 1 and mechanics , I did really good in pure math but not in mechanics, let’s say my final grade in math AS is A 80( PUM) . The only way I could get an A* next year is if I get a PUM of 100 in A level , so then 100 + 80 / 2 = 90 which is an A*
Is it like this ??
💀😭. No bro. Let's say you got 80/81 pum for AS. For A2 let's say the threshold for an A is at 100 (for pure maths 3 and statistics 1). So if you get 115 in your A2 Papers you would definitely be able to turn that A(80pum) into an A*(90 pum) though it's going to be a low A* so nothing crazy. Good luck and I messed up pure maths(expecting like 54) and mechanics was really good for me (expecting 37 cause I checked my paper afterwards). You might think 37 is bad but the paper was hard so the threshold is going to be low like 32-34/50 for an A.
@@Obaid-Ur-Rahman342 get a pum of 80/81?? Did u mean 80/100??
Thanks tho for ur answer, but are u sure that it works like this ?
Bc depending on that I’ll decide if retake AS or not
@@Obaid-Ur-Rahman342 im honestly terrified cause i had a 81% in AS, got around 30 for mechanics and maybe 52-54 for p3. according to me, i probably lost my A :(
@@MalakBeljadid not 80/100. 80-81 pum and A2 Papers are out of 125 in total so I think your confused with that. Also I am pretty sure that's how it works and Smyl maths will respond to you soon so he can probably confirm it. Also an A is a good grade, you don't need to resist if you get an A. But if you really need the A* for like uni or it could increase your scholarship in Uni then yes resit.
@@3nokitake Nah everyone found it difficult. There expecting the threshold for an A to be at like 45-46 so you have like 10 marks above that. So even if you lost like 2-3 more marks cause of silly mistakes you will still get an A. The majority of people said that 32 June 2024 was way harder then 12 June 2023. And on 12 the threshold for an A was only at 49. You don't need to worry at all lol, it's us that have to 😭😭 (I want to either retake pure 1 or hopefully they will cancel the paper).
Bob is one lucky fellow to get a 48 in P3
Yeah😂
Ok but I did papers 12 and 52 in a year and 32 and 42 in a different year so which threshold should I use? 2024 or 2025
Firstly if you do 12 and 52 in AS(first year of A levels) it's impossible to do 32 and 42 for A2(The last year of A levels). You will have to do paper 32 and paper 62 for A2. Now your AS grade will be based on 12 and 52. So if you did it in 2023 May June you will have to use the 12 and 52 combination threshold for that series as your final grade. Now let's say you did A2 in November 2023. Listen carefully this part is Important. So there going to calculate your total marks for A2 for papers 32 and 62. They will then add it to the number of marks you got in June 2023 for AS. Now for the 2023 November threshold they will put up a threshold for the option of taking 12,52,32,62 and wherever your marks lie in the threshold will be your final grade for the overall, A level. Basically your AS marks will be carried forward. Also if you someone did AS in November 2022 and A2 in November 2023 and they took the same components and variant as you they will have a separate threshold (I think).
@@Obaid-Ur-Rahman342 Hi, I have a question. Suppose I take my AS exam on p12 and 42 on June 2022 and the combined score for getting a B on June 2022 is 74 and I take p32 and 52 next year on June 2023, but I checked the grade threshold and the combined score (including 12, 32, 42, 52) to get a B is 146 instead of 150. It seems like Cambridge add the score from p12 and 42 from June 2023 with 32 and 52 which gives 146 for B instead of using the score in p12 and 42 from June 2022.
Doesn't it become unfair if the students in the current year who took p32 and 52 doesn't take the exam for p12 and 42 as they have took it in the previous year and if the grade threshold for p12 and 42 is high in the current year, it became harder for the students in the current year who took p32 and 52 to get a B grade overall?
Sir any updates about p1 maths??
Not that I know of, no.
I finally understood how it works 💀
Whats PUM do we all get it?
Percentage Uniform Mark. It's the mark you see on your certificate. So if your look at the video thumbnail, the 96, 91, 94 represent the PUM for the respective subject.
isnt there a way to know how many marks we got in every paper
Whoever is in charge of exams at your school gets access to these files containing your mark breakdowns and is supposed to give them to the respective teachers. So your teachers should have this information. I'm not sure what happens for private students but I'm sure you should be able to contact the exam centre where you took your exams for assistance.
Olevels ki liye weightage scence kiya hota hai like agr paper total 160 hai so they marked out of 200
50% weightage theory ki hoty i. e Jo 40 marks additional add hote na overall marks mein se, usme 20 marks theory k hote. E.g agr 64/80 theory m aay which is around 80% to wo 20 marks allocated mein se 16 milnge.same logic for mcqs and atp lekin mcqs k 12 marks hote cuz 30% weightage hoty and 8 marks for atp cuz 20% weightage.
@@Sanan10 so threshold Pai A is around 40s
Thori sa ellobrate kardo ye Jo marks Hoti hain tu ye acc to percentage Hoti hain Jo ap ki aye ho
Like agr 80% marks aye hain tu us ki hisab sai 16 marks aur add hogaye ge
Right??
@@LITTLEPRINCESS-ox9gz yes. For instance agr ap k 70/80 aay to 20 mein se theory k approx 18 aaynge. Tbh, don't stress urself so much on all of this stuff. It's just luck and God's will, hr chz bhtr Hgy. Just put ur utmost efforts
@@LITTLEPRINCESS-ox9gz not really. Exam bht tough ho to threshhold(especially for physics and chem), upper 40s m ajata like 46-58. Wrna normally around 53 pr A hota
Now how do they calculate grade boundaries for thresholds...
There's the video on how they do that:
ua-cam.com/video/FyHyjKt5zrg/v-deo.html
But what if the maximum mark after weighting form the IGCSE doesn't match our paper's total marks available. For example, in the 0625 physics syllabus, the total marks are 40, 80, and 40 for P2, P4, and P6 respectively which adds up to 160. But the maximum marks after weighting are written as 200. How does that make sense?
In the same way that they multiply your raw marks by the weighting factor, they multiply the total marks by the weighting factor. So that when threshold is then applied your syllabus total is being compared to the maximum mark after weighting.
How did your phy alt pratical went ?
@@RenishanXChris it was pretty easy tbh, expecting above 36

same here brother i think majority of the student saying it was really a tough paper so I expect threshold will be low
