Registration
and course material:
Private Exam Candidates are

Candidates do not receive course material.
Paper
selection:
It is the responsibility of
the Private Exam Candidate to research their course and exam paper selections
prior to entering for examinations, in order to ensure they achieve their
desired result. If academic advice is required, an academic consultation prior
to entering for the examinations can be arranged.
Results:
All examinations are marked
by Cambridge in the UK.
No examination papers are
returned by Cambridge.a
Provisional results are
released on results day.
Results breakdown:
UNGRADED: Indicates
that the candidate's performance fell short of the standard required for a
Grade. The qualification in that subject is therefore not achieved.
NO RESULT: Indicates
that a result cannot be issued because of absence for the whole or part of the
examination in the syllabus or because of a Cambridge decision not to issue a
result for some other reason.
PENDING: Indicates
that a result cannot be issued at present but will follow in due course.
Cambridge charges a
substantial fee for Results Enquiries. A breakdown of these fees and the
procedure for Results Enquires can be emailed upon request.

Original Certificates are
only received from Cambridge 3 months after the close of an exam session.
Certificates can be

the special arrangement, readers and scribes should be provided at your cost.

each exam session.
