What are grade boundaries?
Grade boundaries are the minimum raw marks Cambridge requires for each letter grade on each component of 9607 Media Studies. They are not fixed percentages — your overall A-Level grade uses a weighted aggregate across the papers you entered, and each paper variant has its own row in the official PDF. Match your exact component codes from the statement of entry before comparing marks to any past session.
How Cambridge sets 9607 boundaries
For Cambridge syllabus 9607, cambridge sets 9607 thresholds after all scripts are marked so each grade means the same standard every year. Close analysis needs media terminology applied to specific examples — generic commentary sits in low bands. When a paper is harder than the previous June series, raw cut-offs usually fall — comparable outcomes, not fixed quotas. Compare only to verified 9607 sessions ([wrong-session estimates](/insights)).
