This is how the percentile system works. It was posted by another member (Zohaib Sherazi) and answers your question best in my opinion.

"Many people have been asking about the new grade policy. In fact this is the most frequent qst that i'm coming across. I replied many pm's too but here is an example for those who still have confusions after reading my earlier topic on the new grade policy.
Assume there are 2 papers of subject X. P1 has 40 marks. And p2 has 60 marks. If in July CIE sets the minimum number of marks required for an A in p1 as 32/40 and for a B as 29/40. Likewise it sets A at 52/60 in P2 and B as 48/60 in P2. So, you need a minimum of this to achieve the required grade in each paper. Now, CIE will total your number of marks. One thing is for sure the minimum required to get A* will be set as many marks above the sum of the Grade A minimum as the grade B is below it. In this example:
for B: 29 + 48 = 77/100
FOR "A" 32 + 52 = 84/100.
Now CIE will subtract the minimum for a B from A.
Hence, 84-77 = 7 marks.
These will be added to the sum of A grade marks i.e. 84 + 7 = 91 marks. Therefore, 91/100 will be the minimum for an A*.
So, you can see it is not necessary to get a minimum in each paper. If you got say 31/40 in P1 it'll be given grade B according to our assumptions above. And if you got 60/60 in P2 you'll get an A in p2. But the total will be 31 + 60 = 91 marks. Hence, you've achieved the minimum for A* .
The minimum for A* that is 91/100 in our example will be mapped onto a percentage uniform mark of 90%.
The minimum for A in our example 84 will be mapped onto a percentage uniform mark of 80% .
Thats how it will work."
