Other entry options (4 rows)

Cambridge's documents also list component 50 on its own, with its own maximum. It is here as Cambridge prints it.

How to read a grade threshold table

Find your row by components. The component numbers are the papers you sat: the first digit is the paper, the second is the variant. Extended candidates take Papers 2, 4 and either 5 or 6; Core candidates take Papers 1, 3 and either 5 or 6.
Syllabus thresholds are totals after weighting. Cambridge describes them as the minimum marks for each grade, set from the weighted thresholds of the individual components. The weighted maximum is 200.
A* only exists for the whole IGCSE. Cambridge's documents say there is no A* on an individual component.
Core rows start at C. Core candidates are eligible for grades C to G, so Cambridge prints a dash for A*, A and B.
More than one route to a grade. Where an entry option offers more than one route, Cambridge awards the best grade available from the combination of components the candidate took.

Sitting 0972, the 9–1 version? Cambridge publishes a separate threshold document for 0972, so use that one. Is 0972 the same as 0625? covers the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Every number on this page is from Cambridge International's grade threshold documents for Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625), one for each series, listed below. For more information the documents point to cambridgeinternational.org/igcse. If a number here ever disagrees with Cambridge's document, the document is right: use the “Spotted a mistake?” button to tell me.
