Grade prediction no grace marks is given for Cambridge exam Pakistan students





The Cambridge O’ and A’ Levels June 1 exams will not take place this year along with local board exams-Local FSc students are however being automatically promoted and granted grace mark- The CAIE has decided to treat students according to a different process-

Shahid Ashraf the deputy country director for Cambridge Assessment International Education in Pakistan explained that they had a different system An estimated 270000 students sat the exams in Pakistan, according to 2018 numbers-

“We have drawn on our wealth of assessment expertise to develop this process of grading students Working with schools we will be following a four-step process to provide each student with their grades- We believe it is the most valid fair and effective approach in these unique circumstances.”

The CAIE is asking teachers to use evidence and professional judgement to predict grades for each student in each subject they have entered for in the May/June 2020 exam series  based on what the student would have achieved if normal teaching had gone ahead “This is to ensure students are not disadvantaged,” said Ashraf- “The final decision on grades to be awarded to students will be made by Cambridge International  using the evidence from schools combined with our own evidence”
