Component exemptions
What is an exemption?
By using an exemption, candidates do not take the component but can still receive an overall syllabus grade. Candidates may not have been able to work with others, or access certain facilities or equipment. This means they may be unable to complete a component. Therefore, we have allowed you to apply for some or all of your candidates to be exempt from that component. If your candidates complete all the other components in the syllabus option, we will calculate an assessed mark for the exempted component and issue a syllabus grade.
See this factsheet for an explanation of the Covid-19 exemptions (PDF, 112KB).
How do I apply for exemptions?
The deadline for applying for exemptions for the June 2021 series has now passed. If you applied for one or more component exemptions and we have approved them, you must confirm which candidates you would like to exempt from which component(s) as soon as possible – see ‘Submitting candidates’ details for Covid-19 exemptions’ below.
