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. This document is not a Certificate and must not be regarded as
such.
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. An 'X' indicates absence from the
examination in a subject. 'Z' indicates that a script has been received
in answer to questions set on a subject, syllabus or option other than
the one for which you entered, and no result is given.
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. An 'X' indicates
absence from the examination in a subject. 'Z' indicates that a script
has been received in answer to questions set on a subject, syllabus or
option other than the one for which you entered, and no result is
given.
In Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Zoology two
grades are given. The first represents the grade obtained 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 but has not been awarded an Advanced level
pass in both subjects, an alternative Advanced level pass in Mathe-
matics (Pure and Applied) may be given if the performance in
Papers 1 and 3 reaches the required standard.
There are no oral tests in the languages at this level except for
certain schools. For candidates from these schools (German, Italian,
Russian, Spanish and Modern Greek) the first grade represents the result
obtained in the subject as a whole, including the oral test. To the right
of this appears the grade given in the oral examination 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.
