    Grade thresholds taken for Syllabus 0495 (Sociology) in the May/June 2012 examination.

    maximum minimum mark required for grade:


    mark
    available A C E F

    Component 11 90 66 50 32 20
    Component 12 90 66 50 32 20
    Component 13 90 64 48 30 18
    Component 21 60 43 26 18 12
    Component 22 60 43 26 18 12
    Component 23 60 43 26 18 12

    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.

    Combination of
    Option A* A B C D E F G
    components

    AX 11, 21 166 144 122 101 84 67 43 19

    AY 12, 22 166 144 122 101 84 67 43 19

    AZ 13, 23 164 142 120 99 81 64 40 16

    Grade Thresholds are published for all GCE A/AS and IGCSE subjects where a corresponding mark scheme
    is available.
