What Grade is 70% in IGCSE?
Short answer
70% in IGCSE is typically a grade B or C, depending on the subject and exam series. Grade boundaries change each year, so a fixed percentage-for-grade mapping is not possible.
How grades work
- Cambridge IGCSE: Grades A*–G; boundaries are set after each exam series
- Edexcel IGCSE: Similar grading; boundaries vary
- No fixed scale: 70% could be B in one subject/series and C in another
Practical takeaway
Don’t assume a fixed percentage = grade. Check the grade boundaries for your exam series and subject. Cambridge and Pearson publish these after each session.
