0625 Grade Thresholds 2023–2025 (All Series)

Published Oct 18, 2026

Grade thresholds are the minimum total marks Cambridge required for each grade in IGCSE Physics (0625). 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 0625 thresholds work

0625 is tiered. Core candidates take Papers 1 and 3, Extended candidates take Papers 2 and 4, and everyone takes either Paper 5 (Practical Test) or Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical). Each option code is one combination of three papers, so look for the row whose components match the papers you sat.

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 64% to 77% of the maximum mark, and the C threshold for Extended options from 31% to 46%. These percentages are calculated by us from Cambridge's published figures; they are a guide, not a prediction for the next series.

0625 grade thresholds by 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 0625 past papers page.
