The examination comprises of two papers, sat on different days. The questions are designed for students targeting grades 3 to 9.
The first calculator paper is named Paper 2, lasts for 1.5 hours = 70 marks. The second calculator paper is named Paper 4, lasts for 2.5 hours = 130 marks The examination is out of 200 marks.
The combined mark from both papers gives a maximum score of 200. Notice, the Cambridge grade boundary marks change a little from year to year. Although Cambridge work hard to set exam papers to the same level of difficulty each year, small variations do occur. As a result, grade boundaries change each year to compensate, reflecting the difficulty of the paper.
