Cumulative world totals grades 9-1
These figures may differ from those of previous November series. This is because the awarding standard in November 2020, November 2021 and November 2022 was adjusted in response to the Covid
pandemic, and also because there have been some substantial changes in the profile of candidates entered.
We offer two different grade sets to report candidates’ performance in a number of Cambridge IGCSE syllabuses for schools in administrative zone 3, and in UAE and Oman.
The 9-1 syllabuses and corresponding examinations included in this document are identical to their equivalent A*-G graded syllabuses. | | | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | % achieving | | % achieving | % achieving | % achieving | % achieving | % achieving | % achieving | % achieving | % achieving | % candidates | | 9 | | 8 or above | 7 or above | 6 or above | 5 or above | 4 or above | 3 or above | 2 or above | 1 or above | ungraded | | Accounting | 16.6 | 30.7 | 44.2 | 59.6 | 68.3 | 79.3 | 90.3 | 95.9 | 99.7 | 0.3 | | Biology | 13.7 | 30.1 | 44.2 | 57.1 | 66.7 | 77.2 | 85.3 | 93.2 | 97.5 | 2.5 | | Business Studies | 3.4 | 12.2 | 25.3 | 41.6 | 61.8 | 77.8 | 88.2 | 94.9 | 98.1 | 1.9 | | Chemistry | 22.1 | 34.5 | 47.1 | 59.2 | 68.6 | 78.3 | 87.0 | 94.6 | 99.0 | 1.0 | | Computer Science | 34.6 | 52.3 | 64.0 | 74.9 | 84.5 | 92.6 | 96.6 | 98.3 | 99.4 | 0.6 | | Economics | 3.6 | 11.2 | 30.0 | 50.2 | 64.4 | 77.6 | 88.8 | 94.7 | 99.0 | 1.0 | | English as a Second Language | 14.7 | 27.1 | 37.0 | 54.4 | 63.0 | 70.0 | 86.9 | 88.1 | 89.6 | 10.4 | | English First Language | 6.2 | 15.6 | 27.9 | 45.6 | 62.9 | 77.6 | 94.9 | 98.7 | 99.9 | 0.1 | | French | 35.7 | 55.0 | 65.7 | 76.4 | 82.9 | 89.3 | 94.3 | 97.9 | 99.3 | 0.7 | | ICT | 16.7 | 43.0 | 64.4 | 79.1 | 86.8 | 91.6 | 96.0 | 98.1 | 99.4 | 0.6 | | Mathematics | 6.7 | 19.7 | 34.8 | 46.4 | 60.9 | 75.1 | 86.9 | 88.6 | 89.5 | 10.5 | | Physics | 22.3 | 39.1 | 54.3 | 65.3 | 75.3 | 83.9 | 92.1 | 97.3 | 99.0 | 1.0 | This document was initially designed for print and as such does not reach accessibility standard WCAG 2.1 in a number of ways including missing text alternatives and missing document structure.
