Instructions for the submission of entries
1. Introduction

The Cambridge Guide to Making Entries contains instructions for the submission of all General Qualification
examinations for the November 2019 examination series. This document should be read in conjunction with the
November 2019 exam timetable to ensure that any timetable clashes are detected as early as possible.

The qualifications that are covered by this document are:


• Cambridge International Ordinary Level (O Level)
• Cambridge International Advanced Level (A Level)

2. Syllabus information

Syllabus information, including syllabus numbers, entry option codes and prohibited combinations, is contained in
the syllabus lists provided with these instructions.

Candidates are not permitted to enter for the same syllabus code at two centres in the same examination
series.

3. Methods of entry

Centres should submit entries using the entry form INT/E.1 supplied with these instructions.

Centres are reminded of the importance of submitting accurate entry data. The materials supplied to
centres after the receipt of entries, including such items as question papers, coursework/internally-
assessed mark sheets and attendance registers, are dependent upon those entries, as is the subsequent
processing of candidates’ marks, grades and certificates.

4. Final date for the receipt of entries

Examination Series/ Qualification November

Cambridge International O Level


30 July
Cambridge International A Level

Centres should submit their entries as soon as possible. Entries received after the above date will be subject
to late entry fees.

5. Private candidates

University of Cambridge International Examinations are designed primarily for candidates who follow courses of
study at schools and colleges that act as registered centres. It is recognised, however, that there are candidates
who may not attend schools or colleges but who may wish to enter for the examinations. Such individuals are
referred to as private candidates and their status is indicated by entering the letter ‘P’ in the appropriate column
on the entry form.

Individuals who have been entered as private candidates are identified separately in summaries of the centre’s
results. Statements of results and certificates will be sent to the centre.

6. Candidate numbering

Centres must allocate a candidate number to each candidate. For each candidate a unique number within the
range 1 to 9999 must be used. Candidate numbers need not be consecutive but must be listed in ascending
numerical order. All subsequent lists of candidates provided by Cambridge will be in candidate number order.

7. Entry details

Please complete the entry form according to the following instructions that are numbered 1-19 to correspond with
column numbers or boxes on the entry form.

On certificates, names will appear as, for example, DANIEL GUSTAVO ESTEBAN GARCIA. A colon
need not be used in the case of candidates where the family name appears as the first word(s) of the

components required in the right hand side of the box. Entry details for
candidates making entries for more than eight syllabuses may be
continued on the following line, in which case columns 5-10 on the left
hand side of the form should be left blank (i.e. there is no need to repeat
the candidate details).

8. Despatch of entry forms

When the Entry Forms have been completed, the top two copies should be prepared for despatch. These should
be submitted to the Mauritius Examinations Syndicate. The third copy should be retained by the centre.

9. Entry amendments

Amendments for all entries must be submitted on the Candidate Entry Amendment Form (see page 14). This form
is to be photocopied as required.

10. Entry exclusions

Candidates may not offer in any one examination:

• subjects with identical titles at the same qualification level,


• more than one of the alternatives in any subject except where specified in the Syllabuses,
• any combination of subjects or papers forbidden by the subject syllabuses.

Oral and practical assessment will be carried out in appropriate subjects. In addition, centres may offer
coursework (school-based assessment) in most subjects provided that Cambridge is satisfied that suitable and
reliable moderation can be achieved. Teachers must be trained by Cambridge in the appropriate subjects before
centres may undertake this internal assessment.

11. Cambridge International AS & A Level – Compensatory AS Level

Some candidates who have entered for an A Level in a subject will be awarded an AS result rather than an A
Level result. This is because their performance, while not meeting the standards of the A Level examination,
successfully meets those required for the AS Level.

Candidates who have failed to reach the required standard in the A Level examination but who would have
passed at AS Level examination will receive a Statement of Results which shows the AS performance, graded
a(a)-e(e), providing a clear indication of their achievement.

Please note that compensatory AS results are not available for all subjects, as there are a few that are not
available at AS Level.

Not all examination boards adopt this practice. This service to candidates is part of Cambridge’s commitment to
ensuring accurate and reliable results which fully recognise the nature of a candidate’s achievement.

5
12. Entering for an Examination: a Notice to Candidates

Before your school submits its entries to Cambridge, you will be asked to check your entry and
confirm that it is correct.

You must pay particular attention to the following points:

A Are your first forename and family name correctly spelt? Are the initials of your
other forenames correctly shown? This is most important, because certificates show
the names given on the entry form. Centre and candidate details including the
spelling of name and date of birth must be checked when Statements of Entry (and
Statements of Result) are issued. Any inaccuracies must be reported to Cambridge
immediately upon discovery and prior to the issue of certificates. A fee will be
charged for issuing a replacement certificate due to incorrect candidate and/or
centre details. This service is available only within 18 months of the date of issue of
the original certificate.

B Are your date of birth and your sex code correctly shown?

C Have you been entered for all the syllabuses you are taking and for the correct
components within each syllabus? You should pay particular attention to your entry
for syllabuses where there are alternative syllabuses.

D Is the total number of syllabuses you are taking correctly shown?

You must realise that in checking and signing for your entry, you are taking responsibility for its
accuracy. You will not be permitted to make changes later.

A copy of this notice should be displayed where candidates can read it, or it should otherwise be brought
to their attention before they check their entries.

13. Entry criteria for the School Certificate (SC)

The School Certificate (SC) is only available in the October/November examination series and to centres in
Mauritius only. The School Certificate is not available for private candidates even if they fulfil the entry criteria.

The School Certificate group award is based on the amalgamation of Cambridge International Ordinary Level
subjects. The SC can only be taken during one exam series and candidates are not allowed to carry forward
syllabus grades they may have obtained in previous series.

Candidates will not be required to identify that they wish to enter for the SC group award. In the course of
processing entries, Cambridge will identify any school candidates that meet the SC entry criteria and will enter
those candidates for the School Certificate group award.

13.1. Entry requirements

Any school candidate wishing to enter for the School Certificate must meet the following requirements:

• Enter for at least six syllabuses.


• One of the six syllabuses must be an English Language subject (Group 1).

Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced Level subjects. The HSC can only be taken during one exam series and
candidates are not allowed to carry forward syllabus grades they may have obtained in previous series.

Candidates will not be required to identify that they wish to enter for the HSC group award. In the course of

those candidates for the Higher School Certificate group award.
