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. With a focus on entries for Cambridge Primary and Cambridge Checkpoint
and general qualification examinations, the guide provides an index of all syllabus and option codes for entry in
the October 2014 and November 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
November 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 (Cambridge IGCSE)
• Cambridge International Ordinary Level (Cambridge International O Level)
• Cambridge International Advanced Subsidiary Level (Cambridge International AS Level)
• Cambridge International Advanced Level (Cambridge International A Level)
• Cambridge Pre-U GPR Level 3 Certificate in Global Perspectives & Research (Cambridge Pre-U GPR)
• Cambridge International Certificate of Education (Cambridge ICE)
• Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (Cambridge 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 October 2014 and November
2014 examination series.
• Part 4 provides entry instructions for the Cambridge ICE and Cambridge AICE Diploma 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 suggest 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 deadline. Any additional
entries or changes to entry options received after the final entry closing date will 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.

Part 1: Instructions for submitting entries
1.1 Methods available for submitting entries
You can submit entries using any of the following:
• the CIE Direct exams dashboard (‘Administer Exams’ area)
• CIE Direct Desktop
The table below gives some guidance on which qualifications are supported by each entry system. It also
specifies some of the additional features that each system offers in addition to the submission of entry
information:

*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 must 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. Amendments may be rejected if you use a different entry system to send these.
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 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.
A free ‘Exams Officer Training’ course is available online at our Professional Development Training website
(http://training.cie.org.uk/courses) – if you are interested in this course, please contact Customer Services.
The ‘Help’ section of CIE Direct (http://ask.cie.org.uk) also has a series of video tutorials available, in the ‘CIE
Direct Online Entries Video Tutorials’ category.
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 – ‘October 2014’ and ‘November 2014’. The ‘October’ series is used for all Checkpoint and
Primary Checkpoint exams, while the ‘November’ 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, which can be a maximum of 60 characters in length – you will need to
abbreviate any names longer than this. The candidates’ names can be entered in one of two ways:
o In the format you would like it to appear on the candidate’s Statement of Entry. (i.e. ‘JOHN
KEATS’ will be printed as ‘JOHN KEATS’.)
o With the family name given first, followed by a colon (:) and then the candidate’s given
name(s). When the Statement of Entry is printed, the name will be reversed to print the
candidate’s given name(s) first. (i.e. ‘KEATS:JOHN’ will be printed as ‘JOHN KEATS’.)
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 field allows the entry of a candidate UCI number, which should be 12 characters long. This is
not required for General Qualifications.
4

•
NID:
This field allows the entry of a National Identity Number, which can be up to 20 characters long.
Unique Learner Number:
This field 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).
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 need to specify a Teaching Group Code for each
subject entry, to indicate which classes your candidates are taught in. This allows the performance of each group
to be compared in the performance feedback you receive at the end of the series. Each Teaching 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
Making entries for retake syllabuses
In the November series, candidates who are retaking syllabuses they attempted in the previous June series must
be entered by 21 September to avoid incurring late entry fees.
For any entry to be accepted as a retake, each syllabus must be indicated as such when the entry is first
submitted to Cambridge for processing – it will not be possible to add this information later. Previous entry details
must also be supplied, providing the Centre and candidate number they used in the June series, even if the same
details are being used for their November entry. Without this information, we will be unable to verify that the entry
is a retake, and late entry fees will be applied.
6
•
Adding previous entry details
Previous entry details can be provided when your candidate information is first uploaded onto CIE Direct.
Add the details to the columns provided in the candidate .csv file, or to the fields at the bottom of the ‘Create
New Candidate’ screen. If you did not provide previous entry details for the candidate when submitting their
entry, you can add this information by locating the candidate in the ‘Candidates’ tab and clicking on the ‘Edit
Details’ link found below their details.
•
Setting the retake indicator by candidate
If you are making entries using the ‘Candidates’ tab, tick the ‘Retake’ box highlighted in the image below
when adding your syllabus entry. If you have not yet provided previous entry information, you will be
prompted to provide this before you will be able to save the entry as a retake.
•
Setting the retake indicator by syllabus
Candidates can also be entered as retakes using the ‘Syllabuses’ tab, which will allow you to set the retake
indicator for your candidates in bulk. When adding your syllabus entries for a particular entry option, a
‘Retake?’ box will appear to the right of each candidate’s name, as highlighted in the image below. A ‘group’
box in the column header also allows you to add the retake indicator for all candidates on the screen at once.
As with setting the retake indicator by candidate, you will be prompted for previous entry details if these have
not been provided.
7
1.2.5
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.
1.2.6
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’.
8
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.
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.
1.2.7
Making your 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.
9
1.4 Preparing your entries using CIE Direct Desktop
The CIE Direct Desktop application allows you to prepare entry information offline and submit the final entry data
directly to us. The program can be downloaded from the ‘Administer Exams’ page of CIE Direct, or from
https://directdesktop.cie.org.uk. Direct Desktop is only available to independent Cambridge centres; centres
attached to a Cambridge Associate should contact their Associate for an alternative method of making entries.
Once you have installed the program, you will then need to download and install the basedata for the series using
the link highlighted in the image below. For each series, we will supply a set of basedata containing information
about the assessments available, 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.
1.4.1
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:
−
−

abbreviate any names longer than this. The candidates’ names can be entered in one of two ways:
o In the format you would like it to appear on the candidate’s Statement of Entry. (i.e. ‘JOHN
KEATS’ will be printed as ‘JOHN KEATS’.)
10
With the family name given first, followed by a colon (:) and then the candidate’s given
name(s). When the Statement of Entry is printed, the name will be reversed to print the
candidate’s given name(s) first. (i.e. ‘KEATS:JOHN’ will be printed as ‘JOHN KEATS’.)
Date of Birth:
Candidates’ dates of birth should be entered in the standard UK date format, which is dd/mm/yyyy.

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).
1.4.2
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
1.4.3
Making entries for retake syllabuses
In the November series, candidates who are retaking syllabuses they attempted in the previous June series must
be entered by 21 September to avoid incurring late entry fees.
For any entry to be accepted as a retake, each syllabus must be indicated as such when the entry is first
submitted – it will not be possible to add this information later. Previous entry details must be supplied, including
the Centre and candidate number they used in the June series, even if the same details are being used for their
November entry. Without this information, we will be unable to verify that the entry is a retake, and late entry fees
will be applied.
•
Adding previous entry details
Previous entry details can be provided when your candidate information is first input into CIE Direct Desktop,
either in the columns provided in the candidate .csv file or in the ‘Add a Single Candidate’ screen.
•
Setting the retake indicator by candidate
If you are making entries using the ‘Candidates’ tab, select the ‘Yes’ button as highlighted in the image below
when adding your syllabus entry. If you have not yet provided previous entry information, you will be
prompted to provide this before you will be able to save the entry as a retake.
•
Setting the retake indicator by syllabus
Candidates can also be entered as retakes using the ‘Syllabuses’ tab, which will allow you to set the retake
indicator for your candidates in bulk. When adding your syllabus entries for a particular entry option, a
‘Retake?’ box will appear to the right of each candidate’s name, as highlighted in the image below.
12
1.4.4
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.
1.4.5
Making your 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.
13
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 ‘Reports’ page to print your own provisional Statements of Entry for candidates, or to produce other
reports for checking your entries. Entry information will be removed from the dashboard roughly three months
after results for the series have been issued, but the information will still be available in the ‘Results’ area of the
site after this.
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 for 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, 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.
14
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.
15
2.3 Checking your entry information
When you receive your entry feedback documents check them carefully. 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, you should submit an amendment as soon as possible.
We would advise you to check that all entry information is correct before the published entry closing date for the
series, as late fees will be charged for adding a missing subject or changing an entry option after this date. You
will not be charged for making amendments to a candidate’s personal details, like their name, gender, date of
birth, status (school/private) or whether their first language is English.
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.

Part 3: Index of syllabus codes for the October 2014 and November 2014 series
3.1 Introduction
This section contains syllabus information for all Cambridge examinations available in the October 2014 and
November 2014 examination series. It includes details of syllabus numbers, disallowed syllabus combinations,
entry option codes, exam durations and component weightings.
In some cases, the syllabus will refer to a one-digit paper number, while the component codes listed on the
following pages will contain two digits. (For example, the syllabus may refer to ‘Paper 9’, but the relevant
component code for this paper could be ‘91’.) 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 syllabuses 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
component 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).
Example Subject 1

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.

Alternative to Coursework
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. In all other cases, 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 permit candidates to carry forward marks from a previous series within a 13-month period. For
Cambridge IGCSE or Cambridge O Level 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

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.

If a candidate has taken the Cambridge International AS Level within the last 13 months and wishes to

enter the candidate for all AS and ‘A2’ components, and carry forward their previous results. When the A
Level is awarded, Cambridge will use the best AS Level result available.

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
gain a passing grade in at least six 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. Cambridge
IGCSE and/or O Level 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 November 2014 may use results gained in the November 2013 or June 2014
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 expects
to receive the ICE certificate (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.
54
4.1.4

the criteria for both subject groups.
** 0654 Co-ordinated Sciences is a Double-Award subject, and counts as two subjects for Cambridge ICE qualification purposes.
*** 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.
4.1.5
Using Cambridge O Level subjects as part of Cambridge ICE
Although Cambridge ICE is the group award for Cambridge IGCSE, candidates can also substitute certain
Cambridge O Level results towards the ICE award, in subjects where there is no equivalent Cambridge IGCSE
syllabus. Only Cambridge qualifications can be counted towards the Cambridge ICE certificate; it is not possible
to count any other IGCSE-equivalent subject.
Each Cambridge O Level subject will be assigned to a subject group and will effectively become an adopted
Cambridge IGCSE subject for the purposes of Cambridge ICE certification. Candidates must take at least six
Cambridge IGCSE subjects to be awarded a Cambridge ICE certificate.

purposes in 2014.

Calculating award for Cambridge ICE
To qualify for Cambridge ICE, candidates must obtain at least grade G(g) (or E(e) for Cambridge O Level
subjects) 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.
56
Candidates who meet the requirements of the Cambridge ICE award will be awarded a Pass, Merit or Distinction,
which will be determined as follows:
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 (and, if applicable, Cambridge O
Level) certificates showing the results in the individual subjects taken.
4.1.8
Cambridge ICE results and certificates
Candidates who achieve Cambridge ICE in one examination series will receive a Cambridge ICE statement of
results, a Cambridge ICE certificate and a Cambridge IGCSE certificate showing the grades achieved in
individual subjects.

certificate at the end of the first series for the individual subjects taken at that point. At the end of the second
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.
Where applicable, a Cambridge O Level certificate will also be issued showing the grades achieved for individual
Cambridge O Level subjects.
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, 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 November 2014 may only use previous results gained in the November 2012,
June 2013, November 2013 and June 2014 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 9766 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.)
58
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.)
Please note that the following list contains all syllabuses available for Cambridge AICE in both the June and
November exam series – please check the Cambridge International AS and A Level and Pre-U GPR syllabus lists
to confirm the availability of each subject for the November 2014 series.

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 November 2014 series and:
• fail to achieve better grades in November 2014; or
• fail to pass the subjects entered in November 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 November 2014 as this would mean certifying the same result twice.
In these cases the Cambridge AICE Diploma entry in November 2014 will be set to ‘X’ as No Result. The Centre
will be notified on the date results are issued.
4.2.7

4.2.8
Calculating the Cambridge AICE Diploma
To qualify for the AICE Diploma, candidates must pass at least one subject in curriculum Groups 1, 2 and 3 (e.g.
candidates must obtain at least grade E(e) at Cambridge International A Level or grade e(e) at Cambridge
International AS Level). In addition, candidates must pass enough qualifying subjects to gain at least six
Cambridge AICE credits overall.
60
Candidates who meet the requirements of the Cambridge AICE Diploma will be awarded a Pass, Merit or
Distinction. To determine which, candidates will be allocated points according to the grades they achieve in each
subject as follows:
Cambridge
International A
Level

Where candidates have taken more than the required number of syllabuses, the Cambridge AICE Diploma will be
decided based on the best total of six Cambridge AICE credits, irrespective of curriculum group and providing that
the overall Cambridge AICE Diploma criteria have been met (e.g. the candidates have gained at least one
passing credit in each of the three main curriculum groups).
The maximum number of points a candidate can be awarded for the Cambridge AICE Diploma is 360. The award
received by the candidates is then determined as follows:
Total score
320 to 360
220 to 319
120 to 219
Below 120
Award (if Cambridge AICE criteria are met)
Cambridge AICE Diploma with Distinction
Cambridge AICE Diploma with Merit
Cambridge AICE Diploma at Pass Level
No Cambridge AICE Diploma
Candidates who fail to gain the Cambridge AICE Diploma will be awarded Cambridge International AS and A
Level (and, if applicable, Cambridge Pre-U) certificates showing the results in the individual subjects taken.
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.
