Your results despatch contains the information you need about the March series exam results. The ‘hard copy results reports’ table on pages 2–3 lists the documents included in your despatch and tells you what you need to do with them. What do we mean by ‘PENDING’ and ‘NO RESULT’? You may see these terms on your results reports: • 'PENDING or Q' means the result cannot be issued at present and will follow in due course. • 'NO RESULT or X' means one of the following: • We were told the candidate was absent or withdrawn from one or more components of the exam and so is not eligible for the award of a grade. • There is no record of a mark in one or more components of the exam for the candidate and we were not told they were absent or withdrawn. Therefore, they are not eligible for the award of a grade. • We disqualified the candidate. Where this is the case, we will have already contacted you explaining the reasons for the disqualification. Results related documentation provided only in hard copy | Item | Description | What do I do with it? | | --- | --- | --- | | Statement of results | A document for each individual candidate giving details of the syllabuses they entered and the syllabus grades they have been awarded.

[info@cambridgeinternational.org](info@cambridgeinternational.org) | | Syllabus results and component grades | A list for each syllabus option, showing candidates’ results and component grades.
The list enables teachers to compare the standards reached by candidates in the individual components of each syllabus. The component grades will not always correspond exactly to the overall syllabus grade. This is because the final syllabus grade is derived from an aggregation (combination) of the candidate’s marks and not the component grades.
The results for private candidates are shown separately and are not included in the summary section of the document. | Pass these lists on to relevant teaching staff. Tell them they are for their information only and must not be made public or shared with prospective employers, universities, or authorities responsible for admissions to universities or other institutions of higher education. | | Results broadsheet | A document showing the syllabus grades of all candidates. Private candidates’ syllabus grades are shown separately. | Pass these on to relevant staff

FAQs

What does “PENDING or Q” mean on Cambridge results reports?

“PENDING or Q” means the result cannot be issued at present and will follow in due course.

What does “NO RESULT or X” indicate?

“NO RESULT or X” covers cases where the candidate was absent or withdrawn from components, or where no mark record exists and absence/withdrawal was not reported, so the candidate is not eligible for a grade. It also includes disqualification, for which Cambridge will have contacted the centre with reasons.

How should exam officers handle the statement of results?

Distribute statements of results to candidates as soon as possible. If errors are found, or if statements are damaged or altered, contact Cambridge International immediately using the provided email.
