Special Consideration:
Special Consideration is a post-exam adjustment that is made to a candidate's mark. This is done to make allowances for some adverse circumstances, for example illness, bereavement, temporary injury or disruption to an exam
Types of Special Consideration
- Present but disadvantaged candidates:
- Candidates absent from a component for acceptable reasons
Process of calculation
- Have covered the whole course.
- Have completed 50 per cent of the total assessment by component weighting in the relevant exam series. Carry-forward marks do not count. If the candidate has completed less than 50 percent Special Consideration can still be applied. Its approval will depend on sole discretion of board.
We cannot calculate an assessed mark for the following:
- Cambridge A Levels where a candidate has not completed any A Level components in the exam series.
- Any component that does not have a weighting e.g., an endorsed component.
How to apply
- School needs to fill in and share Special Consideration form and supporting documents to customer service within specified deadline.
NOTE: Please submit the Special Consideration application within seven days of the last exam in the syllabus affected.
