9093 Past Paper AS & A LEVEL English Language Grade Threshold 2022

The 9093 Past Paper AS & A Level English Language Grade Thresholds 2022 are official Cambridge assessment documents that show the marks required to achieve each grade in the Cambridge International AS & A Level English Language (9093) qualification.

Because grade boundaries can vary between examination sessions depending on the difficulty of the papers, Cambridge publishes separate threshold tables for each exam series. The official 2022 tables cover March 2022, June 2022, and November 2022.

June 2022 Grade Thresholds

For the June 2022 examination series, the individual 50-mark components had the following thresholds:

Components 50 and 60, which carry a maximum of 75 marks, had thresholds of 51 for A, 42 for B, 33 for C, 24 for D, and 15 for E.

Overall A Level Thresholds

For the June 2022 AX option, combining Components 11, 21, 31 and 41, the maximum weighted mark was 200. The overall thresholds were:

• A* – 156
• A – 136
• B – 116
• C – 97
• D – 79
• E – 61

November 2022 Thresholds

For November 2022, the main 50-mark components had slightly different boundaries. For example, Components 11–13 required 33 marks for A, while Components 31–33 required 35 marks for A. Components 41–43 required 35 marks for A.

The November 2022 AX option had overall thresholds of:

• A* – 156
• A – 136
• B – 116
• C – 97
• D – 79
• E – 61

March 2022 Thresholds

Cambridge also published a separate March 2022 threshold table. For example:

• Component 12: A = 33, B = 30, C = 26, D = 22, E = 19
• Component 22: A = 32, B = 28, C = 25, D = 22, E = 19
• Component 32: A = 32, B = 27, C = 22, D = 16, E = 11
• Component 42: A = 33, B = 28, C = 23, D = 18, E = 12

For the March 2022 full A Level combination 12, 22, 32, 42, the overall thresholds were 147 for A*, 130 for A, 113 for B, 95 for C, 78 for D, and 61 for E.
