What are grade boundaries?
For Cambridge syllabus 0460, grade boundaries are minimum raw marks for each grade on 0460 components — themes, geographical skills, and coursework or Paper 4 depending on your route. Essays and skills questions use point marks and level-of-response bands; your overall IGCSE grade weights every component you entered. Fixed "80% = A" rules do not apply across sessions.
How Cambridge sets 0460 boundaries
For Cambridge syllabus 0460, thresholds are published after marking when Cambridge can see how demanding each paper was.
