What was available?

We made different options available to help you run exams in June 2021.

  • Guidance — This helps teachers and candidates adapt to the current circumstances. This was available to everyone; you did not need to apply.
  • Adjustments — Candidates take the component in a way that is easier to manage. You needed to apply to use these by 17 April 2021.
  • Exemptions — Candidates do not take a particular component but still receive an overall syllabus grade. You needed to apply to use these by 17 April 2021.
  • Special consideration — We adjust a candidate’s mark to allow for adverse or unexpected circumstances. You needed to apply for this.

Guidance on running exams

To make it easier to use and understand, we have structured our guidance around the phases of the Cambridge Exams Cycle.
