Hey there
In the past papers GT this paragraph appears:

"The thresholds for the syllabus are determined first by adding together the thresholds for the components
taken by the candidate. A reduction may be made at the higher grades depending on the correlation of the
papers. If the maximum raw marks for the components are not in the weighting/relationship specified in the
syllabus, a weighting is applied to arrive at the overall thresholds. The A* threshold is calculated using the
difference between A and B as a starting point."

Does this mean for component 11, 31 and 61 (maximum mark 160) the grades will be determined by a fraction such as 130/160? (130 given mark, 160 max mark)
I'm sorry, english is not my first language so I'm not sure I understood the paragraph very well.

thanks in advance
