9990 Past Paper AS & A LEVEL Psychology Grade Threshold 2025

The 9990 Past Paper AS & A Level Psychology Grade Thresholds 2025 are official Cambridge assessment resources for the Cambridge International AS & A Level Psychology (9990) qualification. These documents contain the official grade boundaries for the March 2025, May/June 2025, and October/November 2025 examination series, showing the minimum raw marks required for each grade after every examination session. Cambridge publishes grade thresholds after marking is complete to ensure grades are awarded fairly according to the difficulty of each examination paper and the overall performance of candidates.

The Grade Threshold tables include minimum marks required for grades A, B, C, D, and E across all Psychology examination components, including:

• Paper 1 – Approaches, Issues and Debates
• Paper 2 – Research Methods
• Paper 3 – Specialist Options
• Paper 4 – Specialist Options

Each component has its own grade boundaries because examination difficulty varies between sessions and paper variants. The threshold documents also provide the overall grade boundaries for complete AS Level and A Level qualification combinations.

For example, the June 2025 Grade Threshold Table provides official boundaries for Papers 11–13, 21–23, 31–33, 41–43, together with overall qualification thresholds for different component combinations. Similarly, the March 2025 and November 2025 threshold tables provide official grade boundaries for their respective examination sessions.

Cambridge confirms that Grade A* is not awarded at the individual paper level. Instead, A* is calculated only for the complete A Level qualification using the required combination of weighted examination components.

The 9990 AS & A Level Psychology Grade Thresholds 2025 help students:

• Estimate their final grades after examinations
• Compare raw marks with official Cambridge grade boundaries
• Set realistic performance targets
• Understand Cambridge grading standards
• Prepare more effectively for future examinations

Teachers and tutors can use these official thresholds to evaluate mock examination results, predict student grades, monitor progress, and plan revision programmes according to Cambridge assessment standards. Because thresholds change each examination session, students should always refer to the official threshold table for the specific series they have taken.

For complete examination preparation, students should study the 9990 AS & A Level Psychology Grade Thresholds 2025 alongside the official Question Papers, Mark Schemes, Examiner Reports, Syllabus Document, Syllabus Update, Specimen Question Papers, Specimen Mark Schemes, Scheme of Work, Learner Guide, Teacher Guide, and Example Candidate Responses. Together, these Cambridge resources provide complete guidance on syllabus content, assessment objectives, examiner expectations, and grading standards.
