AS & A LEVEL GRADING AND ASSESSMENT
How learners are graded?
Cambridge’s internationally recognized grades are reported with clear guidelines to explain the standards of achievement. The Cambridge International A Level is reported on a grade scale from A* (highest) to E (minimum required performance). There is no A* grade for Cambridge International AS Levels, which are reported from grade A to E. Each subject is graded separately and no Grade Point Average is calculated. Separate certificates are issued for each examination series. Grades are awarded only for subjects that candidates pass.
Percentage Uniform Mark
The Percentage Uniform Mark (PUM) is a numerical mark provided for some countries alongside grades for each subject. It transfers a candidate’s results to a common scale which reports how well they performed within that grade. For example if a candidate achieves a Percentage Uniform Mark of 79 then they are at the top end of a B grade.
ASSESSMENT ROUTE
How AS/A Level learners are assessed?
Route 2 - Take a ‘staged’ assessment route:
Take the Cambridge International AS Level in one examination series and complete the final Cambridge International A Level at a subsequent series. AS Level marks can be carried forward to a full A Level twice within a 13-month period.
We hold Cambridge International AS & A Level assessments in March series. Results are published by Cambridge in the month of June. However, if any syllabus is not available in March series for the examination, we conduct those in October -November series.
