0580 Grade Thresholds 2023–2025 (All Series)

Published Oct 18, 2026

Grade thresholds are the minimum total marks Cambridge required for each grade in IGCSE Mathematics (0580). They change every series, so this page collects the official figures for every June and November series from 2023 to 2025 in one place, with a short guide to reading them.

All figures below are copied from Cambridge International's published grade threshold tables. See Cambridge's grade threshold tables for the original documents.

How 0580 thresholds work

0580 is tiered. Core candidates take Papers 1 and 3 and can achieve grades C–G. Extended candidates take Papers 2 and 4 and can achieve A*–E. Each option code in the tables (for example BY) is one combination of papers: options starting with A are Core, options starting with B are Extended, and the last letter matches the variant (X = variant 1, Y = variant 2, Z = variant 3).

From June 2025 the papers changed (Papers 1 and 2 became non-calculator and the marks changed), so compare 2025 thresholds with 2025, and 2023–2024 with each other.

Thresholds are set after each exam by senior examiners, so a harder paper usually gets lower thresholds and an easier one higher thresholds. Grade A* does not exist at the level of a single paper; it is only awarded on the overall total.

What the numbers show

Across the six series below, the A* threshold for Extended options ranged from 76% to 90% of the maximum mark, and the C threshold for Extended options from 36% to 50%. These percentages are calculated by us from Cambridge's published figures; they are a guide, not a prediction for the next series.

Each row is the minimum total mark after weighting for that grade. A dash means the grade is not available for that option.

How to use thresholds in revision

  • Mark a full past paper strictly with the mark scheme, then compare your total with the thresholds for the same series.
  • Aim a little above the highest recent threshold for your target grade, since thresholds move from series to series.
  • Use the papers themselves on our 0580 past papers page.
