To help Exams Officers manage their workload, we group the different tasks and activities you may need to carry out into six different phases. We call this the ‘Cambridge Exams Cycle’.  \n2 Getting Started Exams administration for Cambridge Associates and the British Council  \nWe run a number of exam series each year so many of our Exams Officers are administering several series at the same time.  \nThe Cambridge Exams Cycle includes every stage of the exam administration process, from the preparation that takes place before the series starts to giving your candidates their certificates. All our support for Exams Officers is structured around the exams cycle, so at a glance you can see which phase of the cycle an activity or task relates to – helping you prioritise and manage your workload.  \nThe cycle has six phases:  \n1. Preparation  \n2. Entries  \n3. Coursework and moderation  \n4. Before the exams  \n5. Exam day  \n6. Results and certificates  \n\n| Key to icons\u003Cbr>To make it easier for you to find the information you need we have developed a set of icons.
