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 denotes failure. Grade O at this level indicates a compensatory Ordinary level pass. 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 will appear. The first represents the grade obtained in the subject as a whole including the practical test. On the right of this appears the grade given in the practical test only.
Candidates who entered at this level for both Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics but who passed only in Papers I, II and III are awarded passes in Pure Mathematics and Mathematics (Pure and Applied). A compensatory pass at Ordinary level in Applied Mathematics may also be given. Candidates who passed only in Papers I, III and IV are awarded passes in Applied Mathematics and Mathematics (Pure and Applied). A compensatory pass at Ordinary level in Pure Mathematics may also be given.
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 obtained in the subject as a whole including the oral test. On 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.
Special Provision Governing the Award of Certificates
Private candidates who sit at centres in certain countries and who, at the time of entry, do not hold a qualification which exempts them, are required to pass in three subjects including English Language or in three subjects with a satisfactory standard of attainment in English Language (grades F or G) in order to qualify for a Certificate. The words "Certificate will not be issued" will appear at the bottom of the form overleaf whenever such a candidate fails to qualify for the award of a Certificate.
