Street, San Po Kong, Kowloon. Please read the syllabuses CAREFULLY before making entries.
5. SUBJECTS
Candidate must check the requirements and conditions of entry for various subjects and keep themselves abreast of the latest changes on
the Edexcel website (https://qualifications.pearson.com). Candidates may contact the Examination Board at Tel.: 3181 0100, Email:
[email protected] if necessary. No refund or adjustments to the candidate’s examination schedule will be made as a
result of entries which do not comply with the information on the Edexcel website. The following is a convenient summary for
reference only.
(a) Some AS / AL IAL qualifications consist of three / six units, e.g. AS Biology consists of units 1, 2 and 3 while AL Biology
consists of units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Some AS / AL IAL qualifications consist of two / four units, e.g. AS Business Studies consists
of units 1 and 2 while AL Business Studies consists of units 1, 2, 3, and 4.
(b) Legacy 2013 Specification must not be taken with the redeveloped 2018 Specification in the same examination series. The result of
these subjects at their Legacy 2013 Specification would not be able to combine with the redeveloped 2018 Specification, except
Mathematics subjects.
(c) May / June 2020 is the last assessment of legacy A2-level examinations, Core Mathematics WMA01 and Decision Mathematics
WDM01. Candidates can only choose to cash in A-Level qualifications(s) if Biology / Chemistry / Physics units 1-3 (2013
Specification) and Economics / Business Studies units 1-2 (2013 Specification) were taken in previous examination series.
6. ENTRIES
(a) When entries are made for units, there is no requirement for the candidate to declare the level or title of the qualification that he / she
is intending to complete.
(b) Cashing-in: Once a candidate has entered for the appropriate set of units, an entry may then be made for the AS / AL qualification.
This is known as ‘cashing-in’. Cashing-in is NOT automatic. To apply for cashing in, candidate must blacken the Cash-in code(s),
e.g. XBI11 for AS Biology and YBI11 for AL Biology. No overall grade will be issued unless a cash-in code is entered at the
time of entry.
Results of units will be held in Examination Board’s unit bank for as many years as the same syllabuses remains available. The units
can be taken in the same examination series, or can be banked under the candidate’s Unique Candidate Identification (UCI) number if
taken in more than one series. Once the AS or AL qualification has been certified, all units contributing to that qualification are
deemed to be used up. However, a candidate may enter for at least one unit in a later examination and cash in again for the
qualification. Results of UNITS taken will be issued to candidates on the Individual Candidate Statements of Results. If a ‘cash-in’
code has been quoted at the time of entry, SUBJECT results at AS or AL will also be issued.
All cash-in applications are subject to the eligibility rules, units, combinations and final decision as determined by the Examination
Board. It is the candidate’s responsibility to check whether he / she is eligible to cash-in. Please refer to the Important Notices
issued by the Examination Board for details. If in doubt, candidates may call the Examination Board at 3181 0100 to ask.

AVOID CLASH IN TIMETABLE ` Timetable Clash

PEARSON EDEXCEL GCE / IAL / IGCSE / GCSE EXAMINATIONS – MAY / JUNE 2020 TIMETABLE
AVOID CLASH IN TIMETABLE
The examination timetables are decided by the Examination Boards. It is the candidates’ responsibility to check CAREFULLY the relevant examination timetables (including GCE / IAL / GCSE / IGCSE) and the regulations, syllabuses and other relevant information on the Edexcel website (https://qualifications.pearson.com) before submitting their entries so as to avoid timetable clashes among subjects entered and prohibited combination of subjects/units. Special arrangements are charged services. Normally, no special arrangements will be made under such circumstances. Candidates who wish to sit more than one examination session on the same day are advised to check and ensure that there is sufficient break time (e.g. two hours) between examination sessions for travelling and taking rest. These examinations may be held at different examination centres required travelling. Please pay attention to the start time specified below. Candidates who arrive the assigned examinations centres later than the examination start time will not be permitted any extra time. Candidates who are going to enter Cambridge International GCE / IGCSE (May / June 2020) should also check the Cambridge examination timetables to avoid clashes between the two examinations.

IAL and GCE information for candidates. Updated in August 2019
Transition from Legacy to New IAL Specifications
Mathematics subject have different assessment changes and timelines. Decision Mathematics has
been updated (WDM11). The Core Mathematics units (WMA01 and WMA02) have been renamed
Pure Mathematics and split as follows:
⚫ Core Mathematics 12 content has been restructured into 2 units: Pure Mathematics 1 (WMA11)
and Pure Mathematics 2 (WMA12)
⚫ Core Mathematics 34 content has been restructured into 2 units: Pure Mathematics 3 (WMA13)
and Pure Mathematics 4 (WMA14)
⚫ Cash in codes remain unchanged.
For details of the above assessment changes, please refer to the Edexcel’s website
https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/International%20Advanced%20Level/Mathematics
/2018/Teaching-and-Learning-Materials/IAL%20Maths%20Guide.pdf
IAL Re-sit
For all IALs, except for Mathematics, candidates will be able to re-sit individual units once before
certification.
If candidates resit examinations more than once, only the last 2 results will be taken into consideration
when awarding the grade. This means that the higher mark of the last two examinations will be used
to calculate the grade.
For instance if a candidate sits an examination for the first time and achieve 80 marks and sit the
same examination again and achieve 70 marks (80 marks will be used to calculate overall subject
grade). However if the candidate sits the same examination again and achieves 60 marks, 70 marks
will be used to calculate the grade (the first 80 marks is no longer valid as only the last two attempts
will be eligible to use).
The specific guidance for IAL Mathematics is set out in the document titled Aggregation Rules and
Guidance here:
https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/International%20Advanced%20Level/Mathematics
/2018/Teaching-and-Learning-Materials/Aggregation-Rules-and-Guidance.pdf
Candidates are only counted as taking an examination if they were present at the time of the
examination. If a candidate is absent from the examination, it will not count as an attempt.
Information Regarding GCE Certification and IAL Certification:
● Only GCE units can contribute to GCE awards. (IAL units cannot contribute to a GCE award).
● Candidates who wish to obtain IAL qualifications must use IAL units only to cash in for IAL
qualifications.
● Candidates may enter for both GCE and IAL subjects.
Candidates must use the same UCI for both the GCE and IAL examinations.
● Candidates who take IAL examinations will be awarded IAL certificates.
IAL certificates will have Pearson Logo as they are regulated by Pearson.
