UNIVERSITY OF LONDON GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION EXAMINATION OVERSEAS
The statement on the other side of this form shows grades awarded to
you at the Advanced and/or at the Ordinary level in each subject for
which you entered. This information is sent before the issue of Certifi-
cates and the University reserves the right to correct it. The document
is not a Certificate and must not be regarded as such. No further
information will be issued by the University; the decisions of the Exam-
iners, which have been reached after careful consideration, are final.
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 exam-
ination 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 ⟦illegible⟧
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; 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 Mathe-
matics may also be given. Candidates who passed only in Papers I, II 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. Candidates who passed only in Papers I and III are
awarded a pass in Mathematics (Pure and Applied); compensatory
passes at Ordinary level in Pure Mathematics and Applied 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 repre-
sents 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 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
(grade F) 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.
