UNIVERSITY OF LONDON GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION EXAMINATION OVERSEAS
The statement on the other side of this form shows the grades awarded to you at the Advanced and/or the Ordinary level in each subject for which you entered. This information is sent before the issue of Certificates and the University reserves the right to correct it. The results of the examination are final and binding on all candidates and the University will not, except in its absolute discretion, enter into correspondence about the results with candidates or their parents or guardians or other persons claiming to act in loco parentis. This document is not a Certificate and must not be regarded as such. An 'X' indicates absence from the examination in a subject. A hyphen '-' indicates an incomplete result.
Ordinary Level
At this level grades A, C and E are grades of pass in descending order of merit reading from left to right, and Grades F and H, followed by the word FAIL, denote failure.
There are no oral tests in the languages at this level.
Advanced Level
At this level grades A, B, C, D and E are grades of pass in descending order of merit, reading from left to right, and grade F, followed by the word FAIL, denotes failure. Grade O, followed by ORD, at this level indicates a compensatory Ordinary level pass. The words FAIL and ORD apply to the subject as a whole.
In Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Geology and Zoology two grades are given. The first is the grade given in the subject as a whole, including the practical test; to the right of this appears the grade given in the practical test only.
Where a candidate has entered for both Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics an alternative Advanced level pass in Mathematics (Pure and Applied) may be given if the performance in Paper I of each subject reaches the required standard. An alternative Advanced level pass in Mathematics (Pure and Applied) will not be awarded to a candidate absent from any paper of Pure Mathematics or Applied Mathematics.
There are no oral tests in the languages at this level except for certain schools in West Africa. For candidates from these schools there are two grades in French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish. The first represents the result given in the subject as a whole including the oral test; to the right of this appears the grade given in the oral test only. The oral grades are A, B, C, D, E, O and F. Failure in the oral test does not necessarily indicate failure in the subject as a whole.
