Find a Professional TutorWhat is the Cut Off Score?
The Cut Off mark is the pass mark that a current candidate converts between the actual marks obtained in a subject and the DSE mark. For example, a candidate who achieves 87% may be awarded Level 5* in DSE Mathematics.
The marks are usually adjusted according to the overall performance of the candidates, the difficulty of the paper, the number of applicants, etc. in the year. For candidates, Cut Off marks are the best assessment criteria to help them estimate the grade they are likely to get in the DSE.
