Samples database

We are currently updating the information on the samples database for 2025 and we plan to complete this by Monday 16 December. When we have completed the update, details for 2025 will be available, including information about new syllabuses that have their first assessment in 2025.

Use the database to find out:

• How to submit marks and/or work for a certain syllabus, e.g. via Submit for Assessment or in hardcopy.
• When to submit your marks for moderated coursework and non-coursework tests.
• When to submit your candidates’ work.
• Which forms to complete and return with your candidates’ work.

Uploading and submitting work

For moderated coursework and non-coursework tests, you submit the marks and a sample of your candidates’ work to us for external moderation. For examined coursework, you submit the work of all your candidates to us.

There is more information about coursework and non-coursework tests in section 3 of the Cambridge Handbook.

The samples database tells you whether you use Submit for Assessment to submit work to us.

You must check the relevant syllabus page on our website and the Cambridge Guide to Making Entries to see which syllabuses are available in your administrative zone. The Cambridge Guide to Making Entries is available on Direct.

For Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications, you must check the Administrative Guide: Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications, which is also available on our website.
