So I was checking out the grade threshold for the economics paper and the maximum mark is 200, the paper 1 has 30 marks, the paper 2 has 80 marks and the the paper 3 has 40 marks.. They all add up to 150, what about the other 50???????

All the grade thresholds released, for any subject, are out of 200. You can take out the percentage to know how much you need to score for any grade.

Well you didn't understand what i am trying to say, let me give you an example..for math extended one paper carries 70 and the other carries 130, and they add up to 200..but in the case of economics all papers only add up 150 while the total marks should be 200

Total marks should not add up to 200, necessarily. In chemistry, P1 is 40 marks, P3 is 80 marks and P6 is 60 marks which adds up yo 18o but the grade threshols is still out of 200. 200 is the standard mark for the IGCSE grade thresholds for any subject.

So in that case am i suppose to check the percentage out of 150 in my economics paper?
