    The threshold (minimum mark) for B is set halfway between those for Grades A and C. The threshold
    (minimum mark) for D is set halfway between those for Grades C and E. The threshold (minimum mark) for
    G is set as many marks below the F threshold as the E threshold is above it. Grade A* does not exist at the
    level of an individual component.

    The thresholds for the syllabus are determined first by adding together the thresholds for the components
    taken by the candidate. A reduction may be made at the higher grades depending on the correlation of the
    papers. If the maximum raw marks for the components are not in the weighting/relationship specified in the
    syllabus, a weighting is applied to arrive at the overall thresholds. The A* threshold is calculated using the
    difference between A and B as a starting point.

    The maximum total mark for this syllabus is 200.

    The overall thresholds for the different grades were set as follows.
