How do they determine your grade

Can someone please explain to me how CIE determine your grade. Do they just add your marks for all the components and see where your marks come in between the gt? What about the weightage of P1 P2 P3 in science exams? If I get 15/60 on paper 2 but 34+ on paper 1 and paper 3 in my exams (AS physics) what will my overall grade be for physics in AS level?

in the grade threshold documents they always write the total marks are out of 130 instead of 140, what i've heard is that they multiply your practical marks by 0.75 to get them out of 30 instead of 40. so 60+40+30= 130 total. so in your case you'll get 15+34+(34x0.75)= 74.5. In the recent years the threshold for an A has usually been around 80-85 so i think 74.5 makes a B.
