The qualification will be graded and certified on a nine-grade scale, ranging from 9 (highest) to 1 (lowest), based on the total marks obtained in all three papers. The individual papers will not be graded. The Foundation tier corresponds to grades 1 to 5, while the Higher tier corresponds to grades 4 to 9 (with grade 3 allowed).
