9699 Past Papers AS & A LEVEL Sociology Grade Threshold 2022

The 9699 Past Papers AS & A Level Sociology Grade Thresholds 2022 are official Cambridge assessment resources published for the March, June, and November 2022 examination series. A grade threshold represents the minimum number of marks required to achieve a particular grade, and Cambridge may adjust thresholds between examination sessions according to the difficulty of each paper.

The 2022 thresholds cover the different Sociology components and qualification combinations used by Cambridge International. They are useful for students who want to compare their results with Cambridge grade boundaries, as well as teachers and tutors analysing examination performance.

For the June 2022 examination series, the individual component thresholds included:

Cambridge does not award an A* at individual component level.

Overall June 2022 Thresholds

• A*: 176
• A: 160
• B: 144
• C: 125
• D: 107
• E: 89

• A: 68
• B: 59
• C: 52
• D: 46
• E: 40

November 2022 Grade Thresholds

Cambridge also published separate thresholds for the November 2022 examination series. For example, Component 11 had thresholds of 39 for A, 35 for B, 30 for C, 24 for D, and 19 for E, while Component 41 had thresholds of 54, 47, 42, 37 and 33, respectively.

For the November 2022 AX combination, the overall thresholds were:

• A*: 187
• A: 169
• B: 151
• C: 131
• D: 112
• E: 93

The March 2022 examination series also had its own grade thresholds, including Components 12, 22, 32 and 42. For example, the full A Level combination of Components 12, 22, 32 and 42 had an A* threshold of 174 and an A threshold of 154.

Because Cambridge sets thresholds separately for each examination series, students should use the threshold table corresponding to their specific 2022 examination session and component variant rather than comparing their marks with a different session’s boundaries.
