Question 1

What are Cambridge IGCSE English Literature grade thresholds (syllabus 0992)?

Accepted Answer

Grade thresholds are the minimum weighted marks you need for each grade in Cambridge IGCSE English Literature (syllabus 0992). Cambridge sets the thresholds once marking is complete for the whole cohort, based on how the papers scored and how past cohorts performed.

Question 2

Why are there several options?

Accepted Answer

Cambridge lets candidates sit different combinations of components for IGCSE English Literature, so each combination has its own set of grade thresholds. Your school decides which combination to enter you for. Check your statement of entry, or ask your teacher which components you sat.

Question 3

What does 'weighted' mean on the maximum mark?

Accepted Answer

Cambridge scales individual component marks before adding them up, so the total after weighting sits at the value in the 'max' column, not the raw sum of component maxes. When you're scoring past papers, add up your raw marks, apply Cambridge's published scaling, then compare the weighted total against the threshold on this page.

Question 4

When are the Cambridge IGCSE English Literature thresholds published?

Accepted Answer

Cambridge International publishes grade threshold tables per syllabus within a few days of IGCSE results being issued each August. They land on Cambridge's grade threshold tables page as one PDF per syllabus.

Question 5

How should I use these thresholds when I'm revising?

Accepted Answer

Sit past papers timed, mark them against the official Cambridge mark scheme, and compare your weighted total to the threshold for your option. A [Cambridge IGCSE English Literature course](https://cognito.org/courses/gcse/english-literature/cie) can help you work through the syllabus systematically. Score against the [past-papers library](https://cognito.org/past-papers) as you go.

Question 6

Can I use Cognito for Cambridge IGCSE English Literature practice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our [Cambridge IGCSE English Literature course](https://cognito.org/courses/gcse/english-literature/cie) covers the syllabus with notes, quizzes and past papers. Use the [past-papers library](https://cognito.org/past-papers) to time yourself against real Cambridge papers, then check your weighted total against the thresholds on this page.

Question 7

Which series does this page cover?

Accepted Answer

This page pulls together Cambridge IGCSE (9-1) Literature in English (0992) thresholds from June 2022 through June 2025 and the November worldwide series for 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Cambridge does not run the 0992 syllabus in the March (India) series; if you're an Indian centre sitting the March session, you're most likely entered for the letter-grade legacy syllabus instead.
