5.7 Awarding Grades and Reporting Results

The AS Qualification will be graded on a five-point scale: A, B, C, D and E. The full A Level Qualification will be graded on a six-point scale: A*, A, B, C, D and E. To be awarded an A*, candidates will need to achieve a grade A on the full A Level Qualification and an A* on the aggregate of the A2 units.

For AS and A Level, candidates who fail to reach the minimum standard for grade E will be recorded as U (unclassified) and will not receive a Qualification certificate. Individual assessment unit results will be certificated.
