To support you, and help answer your questions, we have produced this guide. Make sure you use this alongside the Cambridge Handbook when planning the exam series in your centre. To make it easier to use and understand, we have structured this guide around the phases of the Cambridge Exams Cycle.  \nWe understand how important it is for students to take their exams, and we want to help you to run the November exam series safely and securely. If you decide to hold exams, you must comply with any guidance or instructions from national and local governments, and healthcare authorities. You also need to follow the regulations in the Cambridge Handbook. Where these conflict, or are difficult to combine, please contact us for advice.  \nHow do we know if it is safe to hold exams?  \nThe safety of your candidates and colleagues is more important than running exams. To decide if it is safe to hold exams, you should first assess your national and local government regulations and advice. If you are allowed to meet in groups, it may be possible to hold exams. However, you will need to make sure that you follow any regulations, such as social distancing and hygiene procedures.  \nIf your country is in lockdown, and has very restricted movement, you may not be able to hold exams. If this happens, or you are not sure whether the situation in your country means that exams can or cannot go ahead, you should contact us so that we can support you.  \n If you work with us through another organisation, such as the British Council, you should contact your Cambridge Associate if you have questions about holding exams.  \nImportant information  \nThe health and safety of candidates and centre staff remains the responsibility of your centre. This guidance does not overrule or replace advice or regulations provided by any central or local government at federal or state level, including any public health authorities or regulators, in any country. Such regulations should be followed as normal. You must also follow the regulations set out in the Cambridge Handbook. Where these conflict or are difficult to combine, please contact us.  \nImportant information  \nYou must give clear information and instructions to candidates and to staff, including invigilators and examiners, in your centre. Before exam day, tell candidates, invigilators and examiners about any measures you need them to take, such as additional hygiene procedures. We cannot provide protective equipment, such as hand sanitiser or face masks, to centres – this is the responsibility of the centre.  \nWhat support is available to help me to prepare candidates?  \nWherever possible, you should try to deliver all exams, coursework, speaking and practical tests according to the syllabus requirements because this gives candidates the best chance of showing what they know they can do. However, we know that you are facing different challenges in managing teaching, learning and assessment. We have different options available to help you run exams in November 2021:  \n• Guidance—This helps teachers and candidates adapt to the current circumstances. This is available to everyone; you do not need to apply. For more information, go to:  \n[www.cambridgeinternational.org/november-2021-](www.cambridgeinternational.org/november-2021-)components  \n• Adjustments—Candidates take the component in a way that is easier to manage. You need to apply to use these. To find out more about the components where adjustments to the requirements are available, go to:  \n[www.cambridgeinternational.org/november-2021-](www.cambridgeinternational.org/november-2021-)adjustments  \n• Exemptions—Candidates do not take a particular component but still receive an overall syllabus grade. You need to apply to use these.
