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.

Notice for Candidates regarding the Edexcel

International GCSE 9-1 grading scale change

We have made some updates to our suite of Edexcel International GCSE qualifications for first

teaching in September 2016 and 2017, based on feedback from teachers, higher education

representatives, subject expert groups and other key stakeholders.

The following information outlines some of the key features and benefits of the new 9-1 grading

scale. New 9-1 grading scale

Ofqual (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation in England) announced a number

of reforms to GCSE and GCE A level qualifications in England, including the introduction of a new 9-

1 grading scale for GCSEs, with 9 as the top grade. As a result of education reform, all UK GCSE

qualifications regulated by Ofqual will be following the new 9-1 grading scale, including Pearson,

from September 2015 onwards. To ensure continued comparability to the new reformed GCSEs in England in terms of content and

assessment standards, we made the decision to introduce a 9-1 grading scale for our updated suite

of Edexcel International GCSEs also.

Rewarding outstanding academic achievement

With 9 levels of attainment, rather than 8 in the current A*-G grading scale, the new 9-1 grading

scale offers greater differentiation of the most able at the top end of the grading scale, recognizing

outstanding academic achievement. There is also greater differentiation in the middle of the scale,

with three grades (4, 5 and 6) aligned to the current C and B grades, motivating students and

supporting progression.

Awarding

On the new grading scale, a grade 7 will be broadly equivalent to a grade A, a grade 4 will be

broadly equivalent to a grade C, and a grade 1 will be broadly equivalent to a grade G. All other

grade boundaries will be set arithmetically, as they are now- for example, the boundaries at grades

5 and 6 will be set based on the different in marks between the grade 4 and 7. Grade 9 represents a

new level of attainment for the very top performers.

Our commitment to award grades that accurately reflect exam performance remains the same. This

means that we will continue to set new grade boundaries (the minimum number of marks needed to

achieve each grade) for each assessment of each qualifications. This means that small variations in

exam difficultly each year do not impact student outcomes.

University recognition

Global Higher Education Institutions are becoming familiar with the new 9-1 grading scale for new

reformed GCSEs in England. They will therefore understand how the numeric grading scale works

when it is introduced for Edexcel International GCSEs, and continue to recognise these qualifications

along with A levels for university entry.
