Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my raw mark?

Cambridge O Level Additional Mathematics 4037 has two papers — Paper 1 (80 marks) and Paper 2 (100 marks). Your raw mark is the total of both papers: maximum 180 marks.

Do I add up all my paper scores?

Yes — your raw mark is the sum of your marks from all papers in the subject. For example, if Additional Mathematics has two papers and you scored 65/100 on Paper 1 and 72/100 on Paper 2, your total raw mark is 137/200. Enter 137 in the tool to see your grade.

What do the papers or components cover?

Cambridge International O Level Additional Mathematics is assessed across multiple papers covering different topics within the subject. Your total raw mark is the sum of your marks from all papers. Cambridge and Edexcel publish the full component structure in the official specification.

What years of Cambridge International O Level Additional Mathematics grade boundaries are available?

This tool has grade boundary data for the following years: 2024, 2023, 2022. All data is from the May/June examination series, which is the main series for most students.

Why do grade boundaries change each year?

Grade boundaries are adjusted each year so that students who performed as well as an average student from a previous year receive the same grade, regardless of whether that year's paper was harder or easier. This process is called grade protection (Cambridge) or comparable outcomes (Ofqual). A harder paper will have lower boundaries; an easier paper will have higher ones.

My mark is close to a boundary — should I appeal?

If your mark is within 2–3 marks of the next grade boundary, it may be worth asking your school about an Enquiry About Results (EAR) or a clerical check. One mark can sometimes be the difference between grades. Note that mark reviews can result in grades going up, staying the same, or going down — discuss with your teacher before requesting one.

Are these grade boundaries official?

These boundaries are sourced from published Cambridge International grade threshold documents and are provided for reference only. Boundaries for 2026 exams are not yet published — they will be released on results day. Always verify at the official Cambridge International website.

What is the difference between a grade threshold and a grade boundary?

The terms are used interchangeably. A grade threshold (Cambridge terminology) or grade boundary (AQA/Edexcel terminology) is the minimum raw mark needed to achieve a particular grade in that examination series.
