This document provides the grade thresholds for the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) Physics exam taken in June 2013. It lists the minimum marks required to achieve each grade (A, B, C, etc.) for each exam component. The thresholds are determined by adding the minimum marks for each component taken and may be adjusted at higher grades depending on correlation between papers. An A* grade is awarded based on the difference between grades A and B. The overall exam thresholds for each combination of components to achieve each overall grade are also provided.

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.
