Existing syllabuses with 9–1 grading options
Cambridge IGCSEs are graded A*–G around the world. This grading system is well understood by students, parents and teachers, and is widely recognised by universities internationally. For more information about the A*–G grading system, see Support for A*–G grading.
From June 2017, schools in England, UK, began introducing 9–1 grading for GCSEs. We offer 9–1 graded Cambridge IGCSEs in administrative zone 3. Schools in administrative zone 3 have the choice of A*–G or 9–1 graded Cambridge IGCSEs. All schools can maintain A*–G grading.
A full list of available 9–1 graded Cambridge IGCSE is available on our Cambridge IGCSE subjects page.
Once you have made an entry for a syllabus on either grading scale (A*–G or 9–1), you will not be able to move to the syllabus on the other grading scale when the entries deadline has passed. If you accidentally make an entry for an A*–G syllabus you must withdraw the entry, and re-enter the candidate for the corresponding 9–1 syllabus. You must do this before the entries deadline. The same applies for accidental entries for any 9–1 syllabuses.
We have produced a factsheet (PDF, 193KB) to help ensure that your exam entries and administration reflect the syllabus candidates are being taught, and the intended grading scale.
