For Cambridge International AS Levels, they describe performance at three levels – grades ‘e’, ‘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 exemplify 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/or 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 achieving 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 E | Typical performance at grade C | Typical performance at grade A |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |\n| Analyse arguments and perspectives | Students identify information from source material that is relevant to the topic from which the issue arises. | Students identify arguments and evidence from source material that are relevant to the issue being debated. They are beginning to demonstrate how different elements of arguments and evidence relate to one another. | Through consistent and focused analysis of complex and relevant source material, students identify the constituent parts of arguments, evidence and perspectives, demonstrating understanding of how they relate to one another. |\n|  |  |  |  |\n| Critical evaluation | Students apply one or two evaluation criteria to source material, but this may be assertive or only on occasion explain why source material is strong or weak. | Students apply evaluation criteria to source material, identifying both strengths and weaknesses of arguments or evidence. They explain logically why evidence and arguments are strong or weak.\u003Cbr>They are beginning","cbCaihGjWSDo4ZgE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihGjWSDo4ZgE","pdf",121417,"English","# What are Grade Descriptions?\n# How do I use this resource?\n# Grade Descriptions\n## Analyse arguments and perspectives\n## Critical evaluation\n## Research\n## Synthesis\n## Making judgements","[{\"question\":\"What do grade descriptions explain for Cambridge International AS Levels?\",\"answer\":\"Grade descriptions describe the level of performance typically demonstrated by candidates achieving the different grades awarded for the qualification.
