9694 Past Paper AS & A LEVEL Thinking Skills Grade Thrershold 2025

The 9694 Past Paper AS & A Level Thinking Skills Grade Thresholds 2025 are official Cambridge assessment resources released after the completion of the 2025 examination series. They provide the minimum marks required to achieve grades A, B, C, D, and E for different components and qualification combinations of the Cambridge International AS & A Level Thinking Skills (9694) syllabus.

Cambridge publishes grade thresholds after each examination session because grade boundaries may vary depending on the difficulty of the examination papers. The thresholds ensure that grading remains fair and consistent across different examination sessions.

The 2025 Grade Threshold documents include thresholds for different Thinking Skills components, including:

• Paper 1 – Problem Solving
• Paper 2 – Critical Thinking
• Paper 3 – Problem Analysis and Solution
• Paper 4 – Applied Reasoning

Each component has its own grade boundaries showing the minimum raw marks needed for each grade.
