Flexibility

Learners have the freedom to select the subjects that are right for them - they either follow a broad course of study, or specialise in a particular area.
Learners can choose from a range of assessment options:
| Assessment options | |
|---|---|
| Option 1 | Take all papers of the Cambridge International A Level course in the same examination session, usually at the end of the second year of study |
| Option 2 | Take a 'staged' assessment route – take the Cambridge International AS Level in one examination session and complete the final Cambridge International A Level at a subsequent session* |
| Option 3 | Take the Cambridge International AS Level only. The Cambridge International AS Level syllabus content is half an Cambridge International A Level programme. |
* The staged assessment route is not possible in all subjects. The outcomes awarded for Cambridge International AS Level language syllabuses cannot be carried forward to Cambridge International A Level.

Assessment
Cambridge International AS and A Level examination sessions occur twice a year**, in June and November, with results issued in August and January respectively.
Cambridge International AS and A Levels use a wide range of assessment processes and techniques to supplement formal written examinations - orals, practicals, projects and coursework of differing types are all used in various subjects where they are the most effective and appropriate means of measuring attainment.
** Some subjects are only available in June or November.
Reporting of achievement
Each subject that a Cambridge international student takes at AS and A Level receives a separately certificated grade. From 2010, the Cambridge International A Level will be reported on a grade scale from A* grade, awarded for the highest level of achievement, to E, indicating the minimum required performance. Cambridge International Centres should note there is no A* grading in the certification of Cambridge International AS Levels, which will continue to run from Grade A to Grade E.
