This outline explains our approach to school-assessed grades.  \nIf you are in a country or region who has switched to a school assessment approach, you will need to produce a school-assessed grade for all of the qualifications that you have made entries for. You should use the guidance in this document for all of these qualifications.  \nYou can also view answers to Frequently Asked Questions here.  \nIn this document  \nThe basis for school-assessed grades Quantity of evidence required Types of evidence  \nCoverage of Syllabus content and Assessment Objectives Timing of work  \nSecurity and authentication [New] Selecting the three pieces of evidence Private candidates  \nCambridge International AS & A Level candidates Cambridge Pre-U candidates  \nMarking  \n[New] Special consideration  \nInternal quality assurance by the centre How to determine school-assessed grades Managing bias  \nThe Rationale Document  \nExternal quality assurance by Cambridge International  \nThe basis for school-assessed grades  \nEach school-assessed grade will be based on the level of achievement demonstrated by the candidate in work that they have done.  \nThe school-assessed grades in June 2021 are different to the predicted grades which were issued in the June 2020 series. The predicted grades issued in June 2020 were based on the centre’s judgement of what the candidate would have achieved had the exams taken place – a judgement based on potential. In June 2021, the school-assessed grades will be based on actual achievement.  \nSchools must base their judgement of the candidate’s achievement on demonstrated achievement only. They cannot speculate whether the student could have done better had there been no pandemic or no disruption to teaching and learning.  \nQuantity of evidence required  \nCentres following a school assessment approach in June 2021 should identify a portfolio of three substantial pieces of work for each candidate in each syllabus.  \nBy substantial, we mean a piece of work that has taken the candidate at least one hour of concentrated work to complete OR [New] you may combine some shorter tasks in order to create a single substantial piece of work that has taken the student at least one hour of concentrated work to complete. This constitutes one of the three pieces of evidence.  \nThis means the school-assessed grades will be based on a roughly similar amount of work as would be used to determine an examination grade.  \nNo candidate should have more than, or fewer than, three pieces of work in their portfolio.  \nTypes of evidence  \nThe types of work to be included among the three pieces of work are at the centre’s discretion. They can include one or more of any of the following:  \n• Complete past papers from the syllabus with a duration of an hour or more *;  \n• Completed coursework prepared according to syllabus requirements;  \n• Work made up of questions selected from various past papers;  \n• Papers used as mock exams;  \n• Extended project work set by the school during the course of study;  \n• Tasks set by the centre, such as essays , assignments, problems, practical tasks.  \nWe strongly recommend that at least one of the pieces of work is a complete past paper dating back to before June 2020. Past papers from later than the June 2020 series may be used in addition, at the centre’s discretion.  \nStudents doing past papers, mock exams and work made up of questions from past papers should, as far as possible, be given the appropriate access arrangements (such as extra time or enlarged copies of the paper) . It is not necessary for schools to apply to Cambridge International for these access arrangements.
