Introduction
This guide is for new and experienced exams officers who need to submit entry information for Cambridge
examinations. It provides a high-level view of the entry submission process and a detailed description of the
procedures that you need to follow. The guide also provides an index of all syllabus and option codes for entry in
the May 2014 and June 2014 examination series.
You should read this guide in conjunction with the Cambridge Handbook 2014, which sets out the regulations that
govern all Cambridge examinations, and the Cambridge Administrative Guide 2014 which details all the
administrative tasks exams officers need to carry out during an exam series. You should also refer to the June
2014 exam timetable, to make sure that any timetable clashes are detected as early as possible.
The qualifications covered in this document are:
• Cambridge Primary Checkpoint
• Cambridge Checkpoint
• Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE)
• Cambridge International Advanced Subsidiary Level (AS Level)
• Cambridge International Advanced Level (A Level)
• Cambridge International Pre-U Level 3 Certificate in Global Perspectives & Research (Pre-U GPR)
• Cambridge International Certificate of Education (ICE Diploma)
• Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE Diploma)
The guide is divided into the following sections:
• Part 1 provides information on the different methods available for submitting your entries, and gives
detailed instructions on how to use these.
• Part 2 provides information on what happens after your entries have been received, and what materials
you will receive once your entries have been processed.
• Part 3 provides an index of the syllabus and option codes available in the May 2014 and June 2014
examination series.
• Part 4 provides entry instructions for the Cambridge ICE and AICE group awards.
The Cambridge Guide to Making Entries describes the process for submitting entries from the perspective of an
exams officer from a Cambridge International School. If your Centre is a Cambridge Associate School you will
also have to comply with any additional local arrangements determined by your Cambridge Associate.

We recommend you submit your entries at least two weeks before the final entry closing date. This will give you
time to check your entries online using CIE Direct and submit any amendments before the closing date. Any
additions or changes to entry options received after the final entry closing date may be subject to late entry fees.
We will not accept any late entries or changes to entry options after the late entry closing dates listed
above.

*Cambridge Associates using the Dashboard to manage entries for their Associate Schools can download supplementary instructions
explaining how to do this from the ‘Support Materials’ section of CIE Direct.
Once entries have been submitted, you should use the same entry system to send any additional entries or entry
amendments you may have later. For example, if your entries have been submitted using CIE Direct’s online
exams dashboard, you should not send amendments using CIE Direct Desktop. Entry amendments should not be
submitted via email.
If you are unable to use the entry systems listed above, please email Customer Services for a copy of the 2014
Final Entry Form, which can be completed using Excel. (Please note that outdated versions of the entry form will
not be accepted.) Remember to specify in your email whether you need the standard entry form or the
Checkpoint version, or both.
Whichever entry method you use, please make sure the entry data you submit is accurate. Materials such
as question papers, mark sheets and attendance registers are dependent upon the entry information we
receive. Additional fees may also apply for correcting any errors after the entry deadline.

1.2
Preparing your entries using CIE Direct
CIE Direct (https://direct.cie.org.uk) includes an online ‘exams dashboard’ which allows you to manage your
exam entries for the current series, and to carry out other administrative tasks like submitting marks and forecast
grades. The Exams Dashboard can be used by all independent Cambridge centres, and can also be used by
centres attached to a Cambridge Associate, unless your Associate has asked you to use a different system.
Free online training for using the Dashboard is available as part of the ‘Getting to know the Cambridge Exams
Cycle’ course – if you are interested in taking this course, please contact Customer Services. A series of video
tutorials are also available on the Ask CIE website (http://ask.cie.org.uk) in the category ‘Ask CIE’ >
‘Administration of Exams’ > ‘Entries’ > ‘CIE Direct Online Entries’ > ‘CIE Direct Online Entries Video Tutorials’.
1.2.1
Adding your candidate details
When you first log onto the Dashboard, you will need to load your candidate information to one of the two
available exam series – ‘May 2014’ and ‘June 2014’. The ‘May’ series is used for all Checkpoint and Primary
Checkpoint exams, while the ‘June’ series is used for all IGCSE, AS & A Level and Pre-U exams.
Click the ‘Add Candidates’ button next to the relevant series, and you will be brought to the screen shown below,
where you can choose to enter your candidate data either one candidate at a time using the ‘Create New
Candidate’ option, or by importing a .csv file containing your candidate details on the ‘Add Candidates from
Spreadsheet’ screen.
•
Create new candidate
Pressing this button will open a form allowing you to manually input the information for a single candidate.
Once you have entered the candidate details, click the ‘Save Candidate Details’ button to add the new
candidate to your entries. The fields on this screen are as follows:
−
−
−
−
−
−
−
−
Candidate Number:
Centres must allocate a unique number to each candidate, in the range 0001 to 9999. Candidates
should not be entered under more than one number, and candidate numbers cannot be changed
after the entry has been submitted.
Name:
The name of the candidate, in the format you would like it to appear on your Statements of Entry
and results documentation. The maximum number of characters for a candidate name is 60, which
includes any spaces – you will need to abbreviate any names longer than this.
Date of Birth:
Candidates’ dates of birth should be entered in the standard UK date format, which is dd/mm/yyyy.
Gender:
Select the gender of the candidate, either ‘Male’ or ‘Female’.
English First Language?:
Select whether English is the candidate’s first language.
CID Unique Candidate Identifier:
This allows the entry of a candidate UCI number, which is not needed for General Qualifications.
NID:
This allows the entry of a National Identity Number, which can be up to 20 characters long.
Unique Learner Number:
This allows the entry of a candidate ULN, which should be 10 characters long. ULN information is
usually only required for candidates in the UK.

Status:
Indicate whether the candidate is a ‘School’ or ‘Private’ entry. Candidates who do not take classes
at your Centre and are only using your Centre as an exam venue should be entered as ‘Private’.
Previous Centre Number:
If the candidate is carrying forward any marks or results from a previous series, enter in this box
the Centre number where they sat their previous examinations.
Previous Candidate Number:
If the candidate is carrying forward any marks or results from a previous series, enter in this box
the candidate number used in their previous examinations. Please note that this information is still
required if the candidate is using the same candidate number in the current series.
Add candidates from spreadsheet
This screen will allow you to upload a .csv file containing your candidate data. The required format for this file
is shown below, and a template file can also be downloaded from CIE Direct.

Only the Name, Gender and School/Private Indicator are required – all other fields are optional. However,
please note that unused headings in the .csv file cannot be removed (i.e. a ‘National ID’ column must still be
included in the file, even if no candidates have provided a National ID Number).
IMPORTANT: Syllabus information must not be included in your .csv file when this is uploaded into the CIE
Direct database. Syllabus entries must be added after your candidate data has been imported.
1.2.2
Adding your syllabus entries
Once you are ready to add your syllabus entries, go to the ‘Prepare Entries’ section to add the relevant syllabus
information for each candidate. Syllabus entries can either be added individually for a particular candidate, or a
group of candidates can be entered for the same syllabus option.
•
By candidate
If you wish to make a syllabus entry for an individual candidate, click on the ‘Candidates’ tab to display a list
of candidates you have entered in this series. Click on the name of the candidate you wish to make an entry
for, and then click the ‘Add Entry’ button at the bottom of the page.
The page below will be displayed, which will show all qualifications your Centre is eligible to offer, divided
into a separate tab for each qualification. Select the tab containing the required qualification, and then
click the ‘Add Entry’ link next to the required subject to see a list of the entry options available in that
subject.
5
•
By syllabus
If you intend to enter a number of candidates for the same syllabus option(s), it may be quicker to use the
‘Syllabus’ tab. Use the qualification tabs at the top of the screen to locate the necessary subject, and then
click on the ‘Add Entries’ link to the right of the syllabus name to produce a list of the entry options available
in the subject.
Once you have clicked this button, a list of all candidates entered in the current series will be produced.
Place a tick beside the name of every candidate that you wish to enter for that syllabus/option and then click
the ‘Enter Selected Candidates’ button to enter the candidates for this entry option. A ‘group’ tickbox in the
column header also allows you to enter all candidates on the screen for the subject at once.
Whichever method you use to add your subject entries, the dashboard will not allow a candidate to be entered for
the same syllabus code twice, or allow syllabus entries to be made for a disallowed combination of subjects. For
example, if a candidate is entered for 0500 First Language English, the site will not allow the same candidate to
enter for another option in this subject, or to make an additional entry for 0510 English as a Second Language.
If a candidate needs to switch their entry from 0500 to 0510, it would be necessary to withdraw the entry for 0500
First Language English, submit the change, and then enter the candidate for 0510 English as a Second Language
once the withdrawal has been processed.
1.2.3
Adding teaching group codes for Checkpoint candidates
For candidates entering for Checkpoint examinations, you will also need to specify a Teaching Group Code for
each subject entry, to indicate which classes your candidates are taught in for that subject. This allows the results
for each class to be compared in the performance feedback you receive at the end of the series. Each Group
Code should start with the first letter of the subject name, and be followed by a group number. (For example, if
your candidates for English are being taught in two separate groups, these would be groups 'E1' and 'E2'.)
If you have not already indicated whether the candidate speaks English as a first language or provided their date
of birth, you will also be prompted for this information – like the Teaching Group Code, this information is used for
the end-of-series report.
1.2.4
Checking your entries
Once you have added your entry and candidate information you can run a series of reports to check the
information has been entered correctly. You must make sure your candidates have checked their entry
information carefully before you submit it, to avoid being charged late entry fees for changes made after the entry
deadline. The ‘Check Entries’ tab will allow you to see the range of reports you can download to help you with
this.
6
1.2.5
Submitting your entries
Once you have checked you are happy with all the information you can submit your entries. Go to the ‘Submit
Entries’ section and click on ‘Submit Entries to CIE’.
To check the status of the entries you have submitted, look at the ‘Status’ column under the ‘Candidates’ tab, or
check the status of your entries for the series on the main Dashboard as shown below.
7
Entries will usually be processed within 1–2 hours. However, during exceptionally busy periods, this can take up
to 48 hours. (Examples of exceptionally busy periods would include the entry deadline date, or when results are
being issued for the previous exam series.) If the status of your entries has not changed to ‘Complete’ within 48
hours, please contact us.
1.2.6
Making amendments
Once your initial entries have been submitted and processed, you can continue to make changes to the entries on
your online database, including changes of personal details, amendments to the option codes of existing entries,
addition of new candidate/syllabus entries or withdrawal of candidates/syllabuses. Any changes sent after your
initial submission are classified as ‘amendments’, and must be submitted in the same way as your final entries.
After your initial entries have been processed by Cambridge, two additional tabs will appear on the dashboard, as
shown in the image below. The ‘Amendments to Submit’ tab will produce a list of any changes you have made to
your entries since your last submission, and will allow you to submit these amendments in the same way as the
‘Submit Entries’ tab. The ‘History’ tab will allow you to check when you have submitted your entries for the series.
Please make sure that all entry amendments are submitted before the late entry closing date for the series as you
won’t be able to make any entry changes using CIE Direct after this date.
1.2.7
Submitting forecast grades and internally assessed marks
Once your entries have been processed, you can also use the Dashboard to submit forecast grades for your
candidates, or to submit any coursework/oral marks. To submit these, click on the ‘Internally Assessed Marks’ or
‘Forecast Grades’ tab at the top of the screen, as required. If you click on the ‘Internally Assessed Marks’ link, you
will be shown a list of the components which require internally assessed marks, as indicated below.
8
Click on the component name for the component you wish to submit marks for, and the site will display a list of
the candidates who are entered for that component. Simply complete the marks for each candidate in the box
provided, or tick the ‘Absent’ box for any candidates who did not complete the work. Once you have filled in the
marks for all candidates, click the ‘Submit Marks’ button in the bottom-right corner to submit the marks to
Cambridge. Please make sure all marks are checked before you submit them, as you will not be able to make
changes to the marks online once the marks have been approved.
Remember to include a copy of the Internally Assessed Marks report when you submit your moderation sample,
along with the relevant assessment summary form.
The process for submitting Forecast Grade information is essentially the same as submitting Internally Assessed
marks. The only difference is that the ‘Forecast Grade’ tab will provide a list of the available grades for each
candidate, and will ask you to select from the list provided.
9
1.3 Preparing your entries using CIE Direct Desktop
The CIE Direct Desktop application allows you to prepare entry information offline and submit the data directly to
us when you are ready. The program can be downloaded from the ‘Administer Exams’ page of CIE Direct, or from
https://directdesktop.cie.org.uk.
Once you have installed the program, you will then need to download and install the basedata for the relevant
series using the link highlighted in the image below. For each examination series, we will supply a set of basedata
containing information about the available assessments, including the syllabus and option codes for each subject.
Basedata will normally be made available approximately three months before the entry closing date, and entries
can be submitted as soon as this basedata is available.
1.3.1
Adding your candidate details
When you have selected the examination series you wish to make entries for, you will be taken to the ‘Overview’
screen, where you have the option to enter a single candidate, or to import multiple candidates from a .csv file.
•
Add a single candidate
Clicking this link will take you to a form allowing you to manually input the information for a single candidate.
Once you have entered the details, click the ‘Save Candidate Details’ button to add the new candidate to your
entries. The fields on this screen are as follows:
−
−
−
Candidate Number:
Centres must allocate a unique number to each candidate, in the range 0001 to 9999. Candidates
should not be entered under more than one number, and candidate numbers cannot be changed
after the entry has been submitted.

please note that unused fields in the .csv file cannot be removed (i.e. a ‘National ID’ column must still be
included in the file, even if no candidates have provided a National ID Number).
1.3.2
Making your syllabus entries
There are two options for making syllabus entries:
•
By candidate
If you wish to make the entries for each candidate individually, use the ‘Candidates’ tab to display a list of
candidates entered in this series. You can then select the candidate by clicking their name. On the following
page, click the ‘Create a New Entry’ link and select the relevant syllabus and option code from the list.
•
By syllabus
If you intend to enter a number of candidates for the same syllabus option(s), it may be quicker to use the
‘Syllabus’ tab. In this screen, choose the relevant syllabus and option, and a list of all candidates entered in
the current series will be shown. To enter candidates simply place a tick beside the name of every candidate
that you wish to enter for that syllabus/option. Then click ‘Enter Selected Candidates’ to add the entry.
11
1.3.3
Submitting entries
When you have made all your entries in CIE Direct Desktop you will need to submit the entry data for processing.
This can be done by clicking the button in the ‘Overview’ tab, as shown below. Please note that entry information
cannot be processed until it has been submitted by the Centre. Entry fees will be charged based on the date the
entry information is submitted.
1.3.4
Making amendments
After your final entries have been submitted, you can continue to make entry amendments to your CIE Direct
Desktop database. These may include changes of personal details, amendments to the option codes of existing
entries, addition of new candidate/syllabus entries or withdrawal of candidates/syllabuses. These changes must
be submitted in the same way as your final entries.
Please make sure that all entry amendments are submitted before the late entry closing date for the series, as
you won’t be able to make any entry changes using CIE Direct Desktop after this date.
1.3.5
Submitting forecast grades and internally assessed marks
The CIE Direct Desktop system does not support submitting forecast grades or internally assessed marks for your
candidates. Centres using this system to make their entries can either submit their marks and forecast grades
online, or use the printed forms provided by Cambridge.
However you submit your coursework/oral marks, remember to include either a copy of the MS1 or an extract of
the marks submitted online when you submit your moderation sample, along with the assessment summary form.
12
Part 2: After submitting your entries
2.1 Viewing your entries online
Once your entries have been processed you will be able to view your entry information on CIE Direct. This will
normally take up to 48 hours, depending on the entry system used. However, it can take considerably longer for
entry information to appear at peak periods, such as the entry closing date or when results for a previous series
are being released.
Your entries can be viewed on the dashboard at any time, even after entries have closed for the series. You can
also use the ‘Check Entries’ page to print your own provisional Statements of Entry for candidates, or to produce
other reports for checking your entries.
CIE Direct will show the current entry information we hold for your Centre. If any amendments need to be made,
submit the changes as soon as possible, using the same entry system you used to send the original entries.
2.2 Entry feedback documents
Once your entries have been received and processed, we will send the following confirmation documents by post.
These will normally arrive within two weeks of your entries being submitted. Do not assume that your entries
have been received until this documentation has arrived.
If any changes are made to your entries after these documents have been sent, including amendments to
candidate details, we will send a revised Statement of Entry. No further Statements of Entry will be sent after the
late entry closing date for the series.
Statements of Entry
A Statement of Entry is produced for each candidate, and
will show the following information:
• the Centre number, Centre name and candidate
number for the current series
• the candidate’s personal details (name, date of
birth and gender)
• any previous entry details provided
• a full list of all syllabuses and entry options for
the candidate
• for Checkpoint candidates, their Teaching Group
and whether their first language is English.
You must give all candidates the opportunity to check the
details on their Statement of Entry.
The reverse side also contains a copy of the Notice to
Candidates, which gives a brief summary of the exam
conduct required for Cambridge examinations.
13
Candidate Entry Listing
This provides a summary of all entries
made for the Centre. This list will be in
candidate number order, and lists which
syllabuses and entry options each
candidate has been entered for.
Centre Summary of Entries
This provides a summary of the total
number of entries made for each exam
component.
This information can be used to check that
sufficient quantities of each question paper
have been received.
Centre Entry Warning List
This warns Centres of any potential
timetable clashes for individual
candidates.
Use this information to plan around any
timetable clashes, and to apply for
timetable deviations if required.
14
2.3 Checking your entry information
When you receive your entry feedback documents check them carefully. We advise you to check that all entry
information is correct before the published entry closing date for the series. Late fees may be charged for making
amendments or corrections after this date. As stated in the Cambridge Handbook, it is the responsibility of the
Centre to make sure that all entry information is correct.
You should also provide each candidate with a copy of their Statement of Entry, including private candidates.
Candidates should use this to check that their information is correct. In particular, candidates should check that:
•
•
•
•
their name has been correctly spelt, and is as it should appear on their certificate
their date of birth and gender are correct
the total number of syllabuses is correct
they have not been entered for any unexpected exam components (i.e. they have been entered
to submit coursework but they expected to be entering for written papers only)
• there are no warning notices on the Statement of Entry.
Remember that candidates may be unfamiliar with the entry codes, so they may need help to check that they are
entered for the correct exam.
If any errors are found in your entry feedback documents, submit an amendment as soon as possible. Please
contact Customer Services if you are unsure about any of the information shown on these documents.
2.4 Invoicing of examination entries
You will be invoiced for all examination entry fees shortly after the entry deadline for the examination series has
passed. A deadline for payment will be stated on the invoice, which will be 28 days after the date the invoice was
issued. Fees will be charged according to the Cambridge Fees List for the series, which is updated annually on
1 October and sent to you via the ‘Messages’ section of CIE Direct.
Additional invoices will be produced each month for any late entries or option code changes received after the
entry deadline. It is not possible to send a combined invoice at the end of the series to cover all entries and
amendments.
If you receive an invoice which you believe is incorrect, please raise an invoice query by contacting our Credit
Control team at the email address printed on your invoice. When emailing, you should take care to provide the
following information:
• Your Centre number.
• The reference number of the invoice. (This will be shown on the top-right corner.)
• A description of exactly which fees listed on the invoice you believe are incorrect, or which
candidates you feel have been incorrectly charged.
• The reasons why you believe that the invoice should be changed.
• Any other information that you feel is relevant.
Any such queries will require a detailed investigation, but we aim to respond to any queries within 21 days
wherever possible. Invoice queries cannot be resolved by telephone.
15
Part 3: Index of syllabus codes for the May 2014 and June 2014 series
3.1 Introduction
This section contains syllabus information for all Cambridge examinations available in the May 2014 and June
2014 examination series. It includes details of syllabus numbers, entry option codes, component weightings and
exam durations. Disallowed syllabus combinations are also listed for most subjects; however, please note that
candidates are also not permitted to sit more than one syllabus with the same title at the same qualification level.
In some cases, the course syllabus will refer to a one-digit paper number, while the component codes listed on
the following pages will contain two digits. Where this is the case, the first digit of the component code refers to
the paper number in the syllabus, and the second digit is for our administrative purposes.
You can only submit entries for qualifications that your Centre has been approved to offer. If you intend to
submit entries for a subject your Centre has not entered in the past, please submit an Additional Qualification
Types form (Preparation – Form 5) to Customer Services.
3.2 Use of entry option codes
Each syllabus entry is made up of two pieces of information:
•
•
A syllabus code: this four-digit numeric code indicates which subject the candidate is taking.
An option code: this can be up to two digits long, and indicates which combination of exam
components the candidate will be sitting. The option code will always start with a letter.
In the subject given below, there are four different entry options, ranging from A to D. Select the option code
which shows the combination of exam components your candidates will take. For example:
•
If a candidate is entering for the Extended exam and will be submitting coursework, they should enter for
option A; this option includes the Extended Theory component (3), and the Coursework component (4).

Alternative to Coursework
If a candidate is entering for the Core exam (2) and will be sitting the Alternative to Coursework paper (5)
instead of submitting coursework, they should be entered for option D.

A small number of syllabuses do not require an option code, as there is only one valid combination of question
papers that candidates can be entered for – if this is the case, the syllabus table will state ‘Leave Blank’ in the
option code column. For all other subjects, the option code is a required part of the entry.
All candidates must be entered for one of the entry options listed; candidates sitting any other
combination of question papers would not be eligible to receive a result.
3.3 Entry option codes for carry forward components
Some syllabuses allow candidates to carry forward marks from a previous series within a 13-month period. For
Cambridge IGCSE or Pre-U subjects, marks can only be carried forward once, while Cambridge International AS
Level marks can be carried forward twice. If candidates wish to use marks from a previous series, you should
enter them for the relevant ‘Mark Carried Forward’ component when making their entries.
In the subject given below, there are two entry options. One is for candidates submitting coursework, while the
other is for candidates carrying a coursework mark forward. For example:
•
If a candidate will be submitting their coursework in the current examination series, they should be
entered for option A, as this includes an entry for the coursework component.

If a candidate has already submitted coursework in the last 13 months, and wishes this mark to be carried
forward instead of submitting coursework again in the current series, they should be entered for option B.

Centres must make sure their candidates have a valid mark to carry forward before entering them for a
carry forward option, and provide previous entry details with the candidate’s carry forward entry.
3.4 Entry option codes for staged assessment
Where permitted by the syllabus, candidates can use a previous Cambridge International AS Level result taken
within the last 13 months towards the award of a Cambridge International A Level in the same subject. This option
is not available in language subjects, except for English. Syllabuses where a staged assessment option is
available are indicated with an asterisk (*) in the syllabus index.
In the subject given below, there are five different entry options:
•
If a candidate will be sitting the full Cambridge International A Level in the current series, they should be
entered for option A; this option contains all AS and ‘A2’ components.

Part 4: Instructions for entering candidates for Cambridge group awards
4.1 Entering for the Cambridge International Certificate of Education (Cambridge ICE)
4.1.1
Introduction
Cambridge ICE is the group award of the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education
(Cambridge IGCSE) and requires the study of subjects drawn from the following five subject groups:
•
•
•
•
•
Languages (Group 1)
Humanities (Group 2)
Sciences (Group 3)
Mathematics (Group 4)
Creative, Technical & Vocational (Group 5).
Centres benefit from offering their candidates a broad and balanced curriculum. To obtain the Cambridge ICE
certificate, candidates must:
•
•
•
•
•
4.1.2
be entered for the award
gain a passing grade in at least seven ICE qualifying subjects
of the qualifying subjects taken, at least six must be Cambridge IGCSE subjects
gain at least two passing grades in the Languages subject group (Group 1)
gain at least one passing grade in each of the other four subject groups (Groups 2–5).
How to enter for Cambridge ICE
Candidates must be entered for the award by including the entry code ‘ICE’ in addition to the syllabus and option
codes for the subjects they will be entering in that examination series. This entry code should be added in the
same way as an additional syllabus code. If you are unsure how to add the ‘ICE’ entry code to your examination
entries, please contact Customer Services.
IMPORTANT: You must include the ‘ICE’ entry code for a Cambridge ICE certificate to be issued. If the ‘ICE’
entry code is not used, a Cambridge ICE certificate will not be issued, but Cambridge IGCSE certificates will be
issued as normal.
4.1.3
Taking Cambridge ICE over two series
We encourage all candidates to enter for the qualifying subjects in a single examination series. However,
candidates can accumulate the results to be used over two examination series, provided both series are held
within a 13-month period. It is not possible to use results from more than two examination series (i.e. a candidate
entering for Cambridge ICE in June 2014 may use results gained in the June 2013 or November 2013 series, but
not both).
If candidates are entering over two series, consider the following:
•
•
•
•
•
The ‘ICE’ entry code should only be entered in the examination series where the candidate is
completing the award (i.e. when they are taking the last of their qualifying subjects).
When making entries for the second examination series towards the Cambridge ICE award, you
must provide the Centre and candidate numbers used in the first series.
Any syllabus exclusions in force within a single examination series will also apply to the second
series (for example, a candidate may not enter for both 0620 Chemistry and 0653 Combined
Science in the same series; therefore, these syllabuses cannot both be counted towards
Cambridge ICE certification).
Any candidates entering for 0411 Drama over two examination series by taking the written
component in June 2014 and the coursework in November 2014 must take all other Cambridge
ICE qualifying subjects in these two examination series; it will not be possible to add further
subjects in a third series.
If any subjects from the first examination series are taken again in the second series, any grade
awarded for the re-sit will not be counted for Cambridge ICE qualification purposes.

4.1.4

*** Centres can offer these subjects over two series instead of a single June series by entering the written components in the June series and
submitting coursework in the November series of the same year. Candidates splitting a Cambridge IGCSE entry over two sessions in this way
should make sure that all other Cambridge ICE qualifying subjects are taken in the same two sessions; it will not be possible to take further
subjects in a third session.

To qualify for Cambridge ICE, candidates must obtain at least grade G(g) in each of the seven subjects from the
subject groups listed in Section 4.1.4. In addition, only candidates who have taken at least six Cambridge IGCSE
subjects will be awarded a Cambridge ICE certificate.

Results
Grade A(a) or above in five subjects and Grade C(c) or above in two subjects.
Grade C(c) or above in five subjects and Grade F(f) or above in two subjects.
Grade G(g) or above in seven subjects.
Award
Distinction
Merit
Pass
Where candidates have taken more than the required seven subjects, the Cambridge ICE award will be decided
based on their seven best results irrespective of subject groups, providing that the overall Cambridge ICE criteria
have been met (e.g. The candidates have gained a passing grade in each of the seven qualifying subjects, and
have sat at least six Cambridge IGCSE subjects).
Candidates who fail to gain Cambridge ICE will be awarded Cambridge IGCSE certificates showing the results in
the individual subjects taken.

series, candidates will receive a Cambridge IGCSE certificate for the individual subjects taken in the second
series, in addition to a Cambridge ICE statement of results and a Cambridge ICE certificate.
The Cambridge ICE certificate will only show the level of award obtained, and will not list the individual subjects
contributing to the award.

4.2 Entering for the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education Diploma
(Cambridge AICE)
4.2.1
Introduction
Cambridge AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) Diploma is the group award of the Cambridge
International AS and A Level. It requires candidates to reach certain standards in the study of subjects drawn
from the following three curriculum areas:
• Mathematics and Science (Group 1)
• Languages (Group 2)
• Arts and Humanities (Group 3)
To receive the Cambridge AICE Diploma, candidates must:
• be entered for the award
• obtain at least six Cambridge AICE subject credits
• obtain at least one Cambridge AICE credit in each of the three curriculum groups
4.2.2
How to enter for the Cambridge AICE Diploma
Candidates must be entered for the award by including the entry code ‘ADIP’ in addition to the syllabus and
option codes for the subjects they will be entering in that session. This entry code should be added in the same
way as an additional syllabus code. If you are unsure how to add the ‘ADIP’ entry code to your examination
entries, please contact Customer Services.
IMPORTANT: You must include the ‘ADIP’ entry code for a Cambridge AICE Diploma certificate to be issued. If
the ‘ADIP’ entry code is not used, a Cambridge AICE Diploma will not be issued, but Cambridge International AS
and A Level (and/or Cambridge Pre-U GPR) certificates will be issued as normal.
4.2.3
Taking the Cambridge AICE Diploma over more than one series
Candidates can accumulate the results to be used towards the Cambridge AICE Diploma over more than one
series, provided these additional examination series are held within a 25-month period (i.e. a candidate entering
for the Cambridge AICE Diploma in June 2014 may only use previous results gained in the June 2012, November
2012, June 2013 and November 2013 examination series).
If candidates are entering over more than one series, consider the following:
•
•
•
4.2.4
The ‘ADIP’ entry code should only be entered in the examination series where the candidate is
completing the award (i.e. when they are taking the last of their qualifying subjects).
Entry details from previous examination series must be provided to enable us to track the
candidates. For example, in the second series you must state the candidate’s details from the first
exam series; in any third series the candidate’s details from the second series would be required.
Candidates may not count two or more subjects with identical titles or common question papers.
This means that a candidate may not count a Cambridge International AS Level and a Cambridge
International A Level in the same subject, unless they are entering for different papers in 9697
History.
AICE Diploma credit system
The AICE Diploma will be awarded on the basis of the following points system:
• a Cambridge International A Level will count as a double credit
• a Cambridge International AS Level will count as a single credit
• a Cambridge Level 3 Certificate in Pre-U GPR can also be counted as a double credit.
(Note: Entries for Option B of Global Perspectives will not be counted towards the Diploma.)
Candidates could be entered for three Cambridge International A Level courses (worth two credits each), or for
six Cambridge International AS Level courses (worth one credit each). Alternatively, candidates could enter for a
combination of Cambridge International AS and A Level courses, as long as they gain at least six Cambridge
AICE Diploma subject credits overall. (For example, a candidate could enter for two Cambridge International A
Level courses and two Cambridge International AS Level courses.)
48
4.2.5
List of qualifying subjects for the Cambridge AICE Diploma
All Cambridge International AS and A Level qualifications can count towards the Cambridge AICE Diploma.
Centres who have access to Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives & Independent Research (Cambridge Pre-U
GPR) can also use entries for this subject to contribute to the award.
The four syllabus groups are as follows:
•
•
•
•
Group 1: Mathematics and Science
Group 2: Languages
Group 3: Arts and Humanities
Group 4: Global Perspectives
(Note: Global Perspectives subjects do not count towards fulfilling the Cambridge AICE Diploma
curriculum group criteria, but any credits gained in this group will count towards the Diploma.)

4.2.6
Re-sitting the Cambridge AICE Diploma
Candidates are able to re-sit the Cambridge AICE Diploma, providing all the results counting towards the re-sit fall
within a 25-month period. Re-sitting individual subjects is also allowed – in such cases, the best result available
will be counted for Cambridge AICE Diploma grading purposes.
Multi-session candidates who re-sit Cambridge AICE in the June 2014 series and:
• fail to achieve better grades in June 2014; or
• fail to pass the subjects entered in June 2014; or
• qualify for Cambridge AICE Diploma based solely on subjects from previous series which have
already been used towards a previous AICE Diploma
will not receive a new Diploma in June 2014 as this would mean certifying the same result twice.
In these cases the Cambridge AICE Diploma entry in June 2014 will be set to ‘X’ as No Result. The Centre will be
notified on the date results are issued.
4.2.7

4.2.9
Cambridge AICE Diploma results and certificates
Candidates who complete the Cambridge AICE Diploma in one series will receive a statement of results and
certificate showing the grades achieved in individual subjects, an AICE Diploma statement of results and a
separate AICE Diploma certificate.
Multi-series candidates will receive a statement of results and certificate at the end of each series as applicable.
They will also receive a Cambridge AICE Diploma statement of results and a separate Cambridge AICE Diploma
certificate at the end of the final examination series.
Where applicable, a Cambridge International Level 3 Pre-U certificate will also be issued showing the grade
achieved in Global Perspectives and Independent Research.
The Cambridge AICE Diploma statement of results layout will show the type of pass, the aggregate total point
score, the individual subject points value and an asterisk against the subjects which contributed to the total point
score. An aggregate point score will not be reported on the Cambridge AICE Diploma statement of results for
candidates who fail.
As Cambridge International AS and A Level subjects are the main component used to calculate the Cambridge
AICE Diploma, the AICE Diploma results will be issued with the Cambridge results. The inclusion of Pre-U GPR
will not change the way that the AICE Diploma is certificated or issued.
