IGCSE Grading
.jpg)
Successful IGCSE candidates will be placed in one of eight categories: A*, A, B, C,
D, E, F or G. Grade A is awarded to those candidates showing highest ability in a
subject, and Grade G for a minimum satisfactory performance. Candidates who
perform outstandingly well in a subject are awarded a "stared A" Grade (A*).
Performances below the standard G are ungraded and not recorded in on the
certificates. Grades awarded in subjects are based on the total of the marks
gained in the papers, unless additional requirements are specified in the subject
syllabus. To qualify for a grade, candidates must sit all the papers which they are
required to offer by the syllabus. Those who do not sit a paper but for whom a
special consideration form is submitted, will be considered for the award of a grade.
In subjects where two levels of assessment are offered, candidates must state the
level at which they wish to enter: either Core Level or Extended Level. The grades
available at Core Level are C to G, and at Extended Level they are A* to E, or
A* to G, depending on the syllabus.
