Why revise qualifications?
We work closely with schools, universities and ministries to make sure our qualifications offer the best
possible preparation for further study and employment. We review syllabuses on a regular basis so that the
content is up to date, the assessment is appropriate and our syllabuses remain highly regarded by
universities and employers.
To help teachers plan ahead, we provide advance notice of changes to syllabuses at least a year before first
teaching. We publish this guide twice a year and it includes details about:
Revised syllabuses
Syllabuses with significant changes following our review process.
Updated syllabuses
New versions of published syllabuses. These include those that have been amended with minor changes
outside of our review process, and syllabuses that are re-published for further years of assessment..
New syllabuses
New subjects or syllabuses that have new syllabus codes.
Withdrawn syllabuses
Syllabuses that have been withdrawn. The relevant syllabus page on our website will indicate if there is an
alternative syllabus available, for example if a syllabus is being replaced by one with a new code.
Changes to availability
Syllabuses that have been added to or withdrawn from an administrative zone, or the series availability has
changed within a zone.
Other syllabus changes
Syllabuses with changes other than those listed above. For example, changes to the design, regulatory
status or the assessment materials.

From 2022, Outline Proposal Forms (OPFs) are no longer used for our syllabuses. This means
that the last Outline Proposal Forms will be for entries for the November 2021 examinations, with

feedback to candidates on whether their coursework, essay or project title is suitable.
The following Pre-U syllabus documents have been updated for publication in December 2020:

Information about double carry forward
We have clarified our policy for the carry forward mark for coursework in AS & A Level subjects.
This clarification will be effective from the November 2021 examinations. Further information on
carry forward for AS level coursework components can be found in the updated syllabuses for
the following qualifications:
•
•
•
•
•
AS & A Level Global Perspectives & Research (9239)
AS & A Level Media Studies (9607)
AS & A Level Travel & Tourism (9395)
AL Design & Technology (9705)
AS & A Level Physical Education (9396).
Please see the relevant syllabus for more information.
Languages Listening tests
We have updated information on Paper 1 Listening for some Languages subjects. Candidates
will complete the question paper as they listen to the audio material, and at the end of the test
they will be asked to transfer their responses to the separate answer sheet. We have updated
the specimen paper, mark scheme, transcript, and audio material to allow you to practise this
with your candidates before the examination.
This change applies to:
-
IGCSE Foreign Languages (0520, 0525, 0530, 0535, 0544, 0546, 0547)
IGCSE (9-1) Foreign Languages (7156, 7159, 7160, 7164)
O Level French (3015)
IGCSE/IGCSE (9-1) English as an Additional Language (0472/0772)
AS Chinese Language (8238) from 2024
AS Spanish Language (8022) from 2024
Please see the relevant subject page for more information.
Specimen paper updates
When a correction or update is made to a specimen paper, the syllabus update notice will give
more information.
Changes to how to access early question papers and pre-release material
Please note, some early question papers and pre-release materials for examination are available
to download from the School Support Hub.
Teachers should refer to the latest version of the syllabus and Cambridge Handbook ahead of
the release of materials for each following series.
The School Support Hub is password-protected. Please click on this link at the start of the test
date window:
www.cambridgeinternational.org/support-and-training-for-schools/support-for-teachers/schoolsupport-hub/
23
You must ensure that you download the correct early question paper or pre-release material for
the series you are entered for and/or time zone.
Please contact your school coordinator for instructions on how to access the School Support
Hub. It is the responsibility of teachers to ensure that candidates are provided with the correct
examination paper.
Please note that any specimen assessment materials are also provided as examples and must
not be used for a live examination. All specimen materials are clearly marked as specimens.
Grade descriptions
For some subjects, the syllabus states that grade descriptions will be made available after first
assessment in 2020 or 2021.
Publication of grade descriptions for these syllabuses has been delayed. This is to make sure
that grade descriptions reflect examination outcomes appropriately and are based on the full
range of candidate performance after the 2020 and 2021 series.
