As far as we know, CAIE will use their usual approach to grading exams wherein they use a variety of statistical and judgemental methods. These methods help CAIE maintain the awarding standard from one year to the next. Furthermore, aligning the awarding standards ensures that the competition will be fair, without giving an unfair advantage or disadvantage to Cambridge candidates.
We hope this helps. Thank you.
Hey, is it compulsory to write languages in IGCSE
Hello Dara,
Our advice is to choose your subjects according to what you want to study in the university. The subjects will be based on the university’s subject entry requirements. As such, we strongly encourage you to first check with the university on the required subjects.
We hope this helps. Thank you.
Hi
I want to take admission in As and a level in school but I am 20 yrs and the agr limit is 19..so can I really take admission? Is there a strict rule for age criteria.. plz reply
Hello Aryan Seth,
Thank you for writing in.
Although AS/A Level are usually taken by 17 to 18 year old candidates, Cambridge does not set any specific age requirements. Furthermore, there are many adult candidates sitting for the A Level every year.
We hope this helps. Thank you.
Hi I want to know that it’s necessary for IGCSE student to do A/AS level ?
Hello Shazoor,
It is not compulsory for IGCSE students to proceed to A Level but it is highly suggested. This is because most of the universities accepts a combination of IGCSE and A Level certificates as their entry requirements.
If you wish to pursue for further study, we would suggest that inquire directly to your chosen university for their entry requirements.
We hope this helps.
