The Covid-19 pandemic has continued to disrupt teaching and learning worldwide in 2022, and we understand that students and their families have faced challenges in many different ways. Our priority throughout this time has been to enable students to progress with their education in the fairest, and safest, way possible.
Most of our schools around the world held exams in the June 2022 series. A small proportion of schools were moved to our Portfolio of Evidence route because local or national restrictions meant they could not run exams.
No matter which route you took in June 2022, you will receive a fair and recognised grade from Cambridge International.
To help you understand your results, we have answered some of the most frequently asked questions below.
When are results released?
June 2022 results will be released as follows:
- 11 August 2022 – provisional results release for Cambridge International AS & A Levels and Cambridge International Project Qualification (CIPQ)
- 17 August 2022 – provisional Cambridge Pre-U results will be released to schools and can be released to candidates on 18 August 2022
- 18 August 2022 – provisional results release for Cambridge IGCSE and O Levels.
Exam results and portfolio of evidence results appear at the same time on these dates.

Our example statement of results (PDF, 179KB) explains what you can expect to see on results day. If you have any questions about your results, you should speak to your school.
* Dates of results release may be different in countries where Cambridge is the national examination system and administered by a public body, such as a ministry of education. Students in these countries should contact their school to find out when they will receive their results.
How will June 2022 grades compare with previous years?
Like UK exam boards we have considered the impact of the pandemic on students as we grade the exams.
To reflect that we are in a pandemic recovery period we are moving gradually from the June 2021 standard of school-assessed grades back to the standard of exams in 2019. We are doing this in two equal steps – first in 2022 and again in 2023. So the standard of exams in June 2022 is at the midpoint between the standards of 2021 and 2019.
In other words, the grades awarded in June 2022 are more generous than those awarded in 2019, and less generous than those awarded in June 2021.
