Examinations are back – starting with the Cambridge Assessment International Education’s (CAIE) A Level pre-university course for the November series. CAIE said examinations were the fairest and most reliable assessment method to determine
a student’s achievements.
Predicted grades – an alternative system to exams – will no longer be used, a statement on the CAIE website read.
“We are running exams for the November 2020 series where schools believe it is safe and where they have the necessary permissions from government authorities.
“Our schools are telling us they want to hold exams if they can, ” it said, adding that the question papers will be dispatched to schools and exam centres very soon.
CAIE said it was unable to share the number of entry numbers for the November 2020 series until the entry deadline was closed.
After the June 2020 exam series results fiasco, we have been informed that CAIE will not be cancelling the November 2020 exams, and will offer physical exams as usual.
