For Cambridge IGCSEs, they describe performance at three levels – grades ‘F’, ‘C’ and ‘A’.  \nGrade descriptions sit alongside other key documents that illustrate examination standards, including:  \n• the syllabus, which presents what students should be taught over a course of study and explains how this is assessed  \n• the specimen assessment materials, which illustrate the structure of the assessment and the kinds of tasks that candidates complete  \n• grade thresholds, which show the total mark required to achieve a grade.  \nGrade descriptions are produced with a wide range of audiences in mind. For teachers, they support lesson planning and curriculum development, while students may gain useful insights into what is required to achieve a high grade and what candidate performance at lower grades typically looks like. For university admissions staff and employers, and those less familiar with Cambridge, they paint a picture of typical performance at different grades.  \nCambridge publishes grade descriptions for a qualification once examinations have taken place for the first time , and we review them when a qualification is substantially revised. They are developed by highly experienced examiners who understand performance standards in the subject area and have studied samples of candidate work.  \nHow do I use this resource?  \nGrade descriptions are presented as a grid with content areas atthe start of each row and the different grades at the top of each column.  \nThe content areas group together various aspects of the syllabus – they reflect topics, assessment objectives, key concepts, syllabus aims and components. The way they are organised is specific to each subject.  \nFor each content area, there is a descriptor for each grade. Reading across the row from left to right, the descriptors represent increasing levels of performance, with each grade descriptor building on, and including, the last.  \nEach column represents overall performance at a particular grade. Reading down the column from top to bottom, the descriptors capture the range of knowledge, understanding and skills that a candidate ‘comfortably inside the grade’ is likely to demonstrate.  \nCambridge produces grade descriptions to support teaching and learning and the interpretation of candidate scores and grades. We do not use them to set grade thresholds. As such, they cannot be used to challenge the grade awarded to any individual candidate.  \nGrade descriptions  \n\n| Area of knowledge,\u003Cbr>understanding and skills | Typical performance at grade F | Typical performance at grade C | Typical performance at grade A |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |\n| Show knowledge of literary texts | Students show an awareness of a few surface aspects of texts.\u003Cbr>They may comment on surface meanings in poems and more obvious features of plot and characters in prose and drama texts.\u003Cbr>They may make a limited attempt to use their knowledge to address the focus of the question. | Students show knowledge of a range of relevant aspects of texts.\u003Cbr>They may show some understanding of main ideas in poems and of key characters and themes in prose and drama texts.\u003Cbr>They generally link their knowledge to the specific focus of the question. | Students show a detailed knowledge of a wide range of relevant aspects of texts.\u003Cbr>For example they may show an appreciation of the development of ideas in poetry and presentation of characters and themes in prose and drama texts.\u003Cbr>They usually link the material they select to the specific focus of the question. |\n|  |  |  |  |\n| Make references to texts | Students make some reference to the text.\u003Cbr>They may use a few, indirect references to the text or direct quotations from it","cbCaim1cHhXWadjE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim1cHhXWadjE","pdf",122630,"English","# What are grade descriptions?\n# How do I use this resource?\n# Grade descriptions","[{\"question\":\"What do Cambridge IGCSE grade descriptions describe for grades F, C, and A?\",\"answer\":\"Grade descriptions describe the level of performance typically demonstrated by candidates achieving the different grades for the qualification, specifically at grades F, C, and A.\"},{\"question\":\"Which other documents do grade descriptions sit alongside?\",\"answer\":\"They sit alongside the syllabus, specimen assessment materials, and grade thresholds, each illustrating different parts of assessment standards.\"},{\"question\":\"Can grade descriptions be used to challenge an individual candidate’s awarded grade?\",\"answer\":\"No. Grade descriptions support teaching and learning and the interpretation of scores, but they cannot be used to challenge the grade awarded to any individual candidate.\"}]","Cambridge IGCSE Grade Descriptions for Cambridge IGCSE English Literature 0475 | PDF"]
