Part 3: Index of Syllabus Codes For The November 2017 Series
Part 3: Index of Syllabus Codes For The November 2017 Series
Part 3: Index of Syllabus Codes For The November 2017 Series
3.1 Introduction
This section contains syllabus information for all Cambridge examinations available in the November 2017
examination series. It includes details of syllabus numbers, entry option codes, component weightings and exam
durations. Disallowed syllabus combinations are also listed for most subjects; however, please note that
candidates are also not permitted to sit more than one syllabus with the same title at the same qualification level.
In some cases, the course syllabus will refer to a one-digit paper number, while the component codes listed on
the following pages will contain two digits. Where this is the case, the first digit of the component code refers to
the paper number in the syllabus, and the second digit is for our administrative purposes.
You can only submit entries for qualifications that your Centre has been approved to offer. If you intend to
submit entries for a subject your Centre has not entered in the past, please submit an Additional Qualification
Types form (Preparation – Form 5) to Customer Services.
In the subject given below, there are four different entry options, ranging from A to D. Select the option code
which shows the combination of exam components your candidates will take. For example:
• If a candidate is entering for the Multiple Choice paper (1), the Extended Theory exam (3) and will be
submitting coursework (4), they should enter for option code A. This option includes all three of the
components the candidate intends to sit.
Example Subject 1 0998
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title
A 1, 3, 4 (Extended) 1 Multiple Choice
B 1, 3, 5 (Extended) 2 Core Theory
C 1, 2, 4 (Core) 3 Extended Theory
D 1, 2, 5 (Core) 4 Coursework
5 Alternative to Coursework
• If another candidate is entering for the Core Theory exam (2) instead of Extended Theory, and will be
sitting the Alternative to Coursework paper (5) instead of submitting coursework, they should be entered
for option D.
Example Subject 1 0998
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title
A 1, 3, 4 (Extended) 1 Multiple Choice
B 1, 3, 5 (Extended) 2 Core Theory
C 1, 2, 4 (Core) 3 Extended Theory
D 1, 2, 5 (Core) 4 Coursework
5 Alternative to Coursework
A small number of syllabuses do not require an option code, as there is only one valid combination of question
papers that candidates can be entered for. If this is the case, the syllabus table will state ‘Leave Blank’ in the
option code column. For all other subjects, the option code is a required part of the entry.
It is not possible to make entries for an individual component, or to enter for only part of an option code. All
candidates must be entered for one of the entry options listed. Candidates sitting any other combination of
question papers would not be eligible to receive a result.

3.3 Entry option codes for carry forward components
Some syllabuses allow candidates to carry forward marks from a previous series within a 13-month period. For
Cambridge IGCSE, O Level or Pre-U subjects, marks can only be carried forward once, while Cambridge
International AS Level marks can be carried forward twice. If candidates wish to use marks from a previous
series, you should enter them for the relevant ‘Mark Carried Forward’ component when making their entries.
In the subject given below, there are two entry options. One is for candidates submitting coursework, while the
other is for candidates carrying a coursework mark forward. For example:
• If a candidate will be submitting their coursework in the current examination series, they should be
entered for option A, as this includes an entry for the coursework component.
Example Subject 2 0999
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title
A 1, 2 1 Written Examination
B 1, 82 2 Coursework
82 Coursework Mark Carried Forward
• If a candidate has already submitted coursework in the last 13 months, and wishes this mark to be carried
forward instead of submitting coursework again in the current series, they should be entered for option B.
Example Subject 2 0999
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title
A 1, 2 1 Written Examination
B 1, 82 2 Coursework
82 Coursework Mark Carried Forward
Centres must make sure their candidates have a valid mark to carry forward before entering them for a
carry forward option, and provide previous entry details with the candidate’s carry forward entry.
Where permitted by the syllabus, candidates can use a previous Cambridge International AS Level result taken
within the last 13 months towards the award of a Cambridge International A Level in the same subject. This option
is not available in language subjects, except for English. Syllabuses where a staged assessment option is
available are indicated with an asterisk (*) in the syllabus index.
In the subject given below, there are five different entry options:
• If a candidate will be sitting the full Cambridge International A Level in the current series, they should be
entered for option A; this option contains all AS and ‘A2’ components.
Example Subject 3 9990
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title
A 1, 2, 3 1 AS Written Examination
B 3, 66 2 AS Essay Question
C 3, 67 3 A2 Written Examination
D 1, 2, 3, 66, 67 66 June AS Mark Carried Forward
S 1, 2 67 November AS Mark Carried Forward
• If the candidate is only to be entered for the Cambridge International AS Level in the current series, they
should be entered for option S, which contains only the two AS Level components.
Example Subject 3 9990
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title
A 1, 2, 3 1 AS Written Examination
B 3, 66 2 AS Essay Question
C 3, 67 3 A2 Written Examination

S 1, 2 67 November AS Mark Carried Forward
2
• Candidates who have taken the Cambridge International AS Level in the previous 13 months and only
want to sit the ‘A2’ components in the current series should be entered for either option B or C,
depending on when their previous AS Level result was awarded.
− If a candidate wishes to use a Cambridge International AS Level result awarded in the
previous June series, they should be entered for option B.
Example Subject 3 9990
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title
A 1, 2, 3 1 AS Written Examination
B 3, 66 2 AS Essay Question
C 3, 67 3 A2 Written Examination
D 1, 2, 3, 66, 67 66 June AS Mark Carried Forward
S 1, 2 67 November AS Mark Carried Forward
− Candidates using a result from the previous November series should enter for option C.
Example Subject 3 9990
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title
A 1, 2, 3 1 AS Written Examination
B 3, 66 2 AS Essay Question
C 3, 67 3 A2 Written Examination
D 1, 2, 3, 66, 67 66 June AS Mark Carried Forward
S 1, 2 67 November AS Mark Carried Forward
• If a candidate has taken the Cambridge International AS Level within the last 13 months and wishes to
re-sit this in the current session while taking the ‘A2’ components, they should enter for option D. This will
enter the candidate for all AS and ‘A2’ components, and also carry forward their previous AS results.
Example Subject 3 9990
Option code Candidates take components Component Component title

staged assessment option, and provide previous entry details with the candidate’s carry forward entry.

Zone 3 Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate in Global Perspectives & Independent Research
Part 4: Instructions for entering candidates for Cambridge group awards
4.1 Entering for the Cambridge International Certificate of Education (Cambridge ICE)
4.1.1 Introduction
Cambridge ICE is the group award of the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education
(Cambridge IGCSE) and requires the study of subjects drawn from the following five subject groups:
• Languages (Group 1)
• Humanities (Group 2)
• Sciences (Group 3)
• Mathematics (Group 4)
• Professional and Creative (Group 5).
Centres benefit from offering their candidates a broad and balanced curriculum. To obtain the Cambridge ICE
certificate, candidates must:
You must check that your candidates are eligible to receive the group award before submitting the group award
entry. You will be charged the entry fee for the group award even if your candidate is not eligible for the group
award. We will only refund the entry fee if you withdraw the entry before the final entries deadline.
Candidates must be entered for the award by including the entry code ‘ICE’ in addition to the syllabus and option
codes for the subjects they will be entering in that examination series. This entry code should be added in the
same way as an additional syllabus code. If you are unsure how to add the ‘ICE’ entry code to your examination
entries, please contact Customer Services.
IMPORTANT: You must include the ‘ICE’ entry code for a Cambridge ICE certificate to be issued. If the ‘ICE’
entry code is not used, a Cambridge ICE certificate will not be issued, but Cambridge IGCSE and/or O Level
certificates will be issued as normal.
We encourage all candidates to enter for the qualifying subjects in a single examination series. However,
candidates can accumulate the results to be used over two examination series, provided both series are held
within a 13-month period. It is not possible to use results from more than two examination series (i.e. a candidate
entering for Cambridge ICE in November 2017 may use results gained in the June 2017 or November 2016
series, but not both).
• The ‘ICE’ entry code should only be entered in the examination series where the candidate is
completing the award (i.e. when they are taking the last of their qualifying subjects).
• When making entries for the second examination series towards the Cambridge ICE award, you
must provide the Centre and candidate numbers used in the first series.
• Any syllabus exclusions in force within a single examination series will also apply to the second
series (for example, a candidate may not enter for both 0620 Chemistry and 0653 Combined
Science in the same series; therefore, these syllabuses cannot both be counted towards
Cambridge ICE certification).
• Any candidates entering for 0411 Drama over two examination series by taking the written
component in June 2017 and the coursework in November 2017 must take all other Cambridge
ICE qualifying subjects in these two examination series; it will not be possible to add further
subjects in a third series.
• If any subjects from the first examination series are taken again in the second series, any grade
awarded for the re-sit will not be counted for Cambridge ICE qualification purposes. Additionally,
candidates wishing to enter for Cambridge ICE again, must meet the eligibility criteria without using
67
the subject entries previously used towards the calculation of their first Cambridge ICE. We
therefore suggest that any candidates not eligible for the Cambridge ICE certificate in the current
series, withdraw their Cambridge ICE entry.
Qualifying subjects are shown below. Please note that the list contains all syllabuses available for the June and
November exam series – please check the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus list to confirm the availability of each
subject for the November 2017 series.
* 0680 Environmental Management can be taken as a qualifying subject in either Group 2 or Group 3. The subject cannot be used to satisfy
the criteria for both subject groups.
** 0654 Co-ordinated Sciences is a Double-Award subject, and counts as two subjects for Cambridge ICE qualification purposes.
*** 0457 Global Perspectives can be taken as a qualifying subject in either Group 2 or Group 5. The subject cannot be used to satisfy the
criteria for both subject groups.
**** Centres can offer these subjects over two series instead of a single June series by entering the written components in the June series and
submitting coursework in the November series of the same year. Candidates splitting a Cambridge IGCSE entry over two sessions in this way
should make sure that all other Cambridge ICE qualifying subjects are taken in the same two sessions; it will not be possible to take further
subjects in a third session.
68
4.1.5 Using Cambridge O Level subjects as part of Cambridge ICE
Although Cambridge ICE is the group award for Cambridge IGCSE, candidates can also substitute certain
Cambridge O Level results towards the ICE award, in subjects where there is no equivalent Cambridge IGCSE
syllabus. Only Cambridge qualifications can be counted towards the Cambridge ICE certificate; it is not possible
to count any other IGCSE-equivalent subject.
Each Cambridge O Level subject will be assigned to a subject group and will effectively become an adopted
Cambridge IGCSE subject for the purposes of Cambridge ICE certification. Candidates must take at least six
Cambridge IGCSE subjects to be awarded a Cambridge ICE certificate.
Please find below a list of adopted Cambridge O Level syllabuses available for Cambridge ICE qualification
purposes in 2017.
When you receive Statements of Entry for your Cambridge ICE candidates, please check for the following
messages, which will be printed at the bottom of the list of syllabus entries for each candidate. The table below
indicates the reasons why these messages may appear and the actions that can be taken to resolve them:
If you believe that any of the messages above have appeared on your Statements of Entry incorrectly, please
contact Customer Services, providing details of which candidate(s) are affected, and which message has
appeared.
69
4.1.7 Calculating award for Cambridge ICE
To qualify for Cambridge ICE, candidates must obtain at least grade G(g) (or E(e) for Cambridge O Level
subjects) in each of the seven subjects from the subject groups listed in Section 4.1.4. In addition, only
candidates who have taken at least six Cambridge IGCSE subjects will be awarded a Cambridge ICE certificate.
Candidates who meet the requirements of the Cambridge ICE award will be awarded a Pass, Merit or Distinction,
which will be determined as follows:
Results Award
Grade A(a) or above in five subjects and Grade C(c) or above in two subjects. Distinction
Grade C(c) or above in five subjects and Grade F(f) or above in two subjects. Merit
Grade G(g) or above in seven subjects. Pass
Where candidates have taken more than the required seven subjects, the Cambridge ICE award will be decided
based on their seven best results irrespective of subject groups, providing that the overall Cambridge ICE criteria
have been met (e.g. The candidates have gained a passing grade in each of the seven qualifying subjects, and
have sat at least six Cambridge IGCSE subjects).
Candidates who fail to gain Cambridge ICE will be awarded Cambridge IGCSE (and, if applicable, Cambridge O
Level) certificates showing the results in the individual subjects taken.
Candidates who achieve Cambridge ICE in one examination series will receive a Cambridge ICE statement of
results, a Cambridge ICE certificate and a Cambridge IGCSE certificate showing the grades achieved in
individual subjects.
Candidates who achieve Cambridge ICE over two examination series will receive a statement of results and
certificate at the end of the first series for the individual subjects taken at that point. At the end of the second
series, candidates will receive a Cambridge IGCSE certificate for the individual subjects taken in the second
series, in addition to a Cambridge ICE statement of results and a Cambridge ICE certificate.
Where applicable, a Cambridge O Level certificate will also be issued showing the grades achieved for individual
Cambridge O Level subjects.
The Cambridge ICE certificate will only show the level of award obtained, and will not list the individual subjects
contributing to the award.
70
4.2 Entering for the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education Diploma
(Cambridge AICE)
4.2.1 Introduction
Please read these instructions carefully as we have made changes to the Cambridge AICE Diploma.
The Cambridge AICE Diploma is a group certificate which requires learners to study a compulsory core subject,
Cambridge AS Level Global Perspectives & Research, with Cambridge AS and A Level subjects drawn from three
curriculum areas: Mathematics and Science (Group 1), Languages (Group 2), and Arts and Humanities (Group
3). There is the option to study Interdisciplinary subjects (Group 4).
You must check that a candidate is eligible to receive the Cambridge AICE Diploma before submitting their entry.
You will be charged the entry fee for the group award even if your candidate is not eligible for the award. We will
only refund the entry fee if you withdraw the entry before the final entries deadline.
Candidates must be entered for the award by including the entry code ‘ADIP’ when syllabus and option codes are
submitted for the subjects they will be entering in that series. This entry code should be added in the same way
as an additional syllabus code. If you are unsure how to add the ‘ADIP’ entry code to your examination entries,
please contact Customer Services.
IMPORTANT: You must include the ‘ADIP’ entry code for a Cambridge AICE Diploma certificate to be issued. If
the ‘ADIP’ entry code is not used, a Cambridge AICE Diploma will not be issued, but Cambridge International AS
and A Level certificates will be issued as normal.
4.2.3 Taking the Cambridge AICE Diploma over more than one series
Candidates can accumulate the results to be used towards the Cambridge AICE Diploma over more than one
series, provided these additional examination series are held within a 25-month period. This means that a
candidate entering for the Cambridge AICE Diploma in the November 2017 series can only use previous results
gained in the November 2015 series or later.
If candidates are taking the Cambridge AICE Diploma over more than one series, the following rules apply:
• The ‘ADIP’ entry code should only be entered in the examination series where the candidate is
completing the award (i.e. when they are taking the last of their qualifying subjects).
• You must provide entry details from previous examination series so that a candidate can be
tracked. For example, in the second series you must provide the candidate’s details from the first
exam series; in any third series you must provide the candidate’s details from the second series.
• Candidates cannot count two or more subjects with identical titles or common question papers
towards the Cambridge AICE Diploma. This means that a candidate cannot count a Cambridge
International AS Level and a Cambridge International A Level in the same subject.
o An exception to this rule applies for candidates entering for Cambridge International AS &
A Level History (9389). Candidates can use up to two History credits towards their
Diploma. This can be achieved by taking the A Level or by taking two separate AS Levels
(in two different series) and answering questions on different historical topics in each
series. For example candidates could answer questions from the European section of the
papers in 2016, and then answer questions from the American section of the papers in
2017.
• For candidates using two AS Levels in 9389 History, each historical topic can only contribute one
credit towards the Diploma. If a candidate achieves a ‘mixed’ AS Level in 9389 History by
answering questions on one topic in the first paper and questions on a different topic in the second
paper, the resulting AS Level only counts as one. It cannot be combined with another AS Level in
History where the candidate has answered questions on either of the historical topics answered in
their ‘mixed’ AS Level.
71
4.2.4 List of qualifying subjects for the Cambridge AICE Diploma
All Cambridge International AS and A Level qualifications can count towards the Cambridge AICE Diploma.
The following list contains all syllabuses available for the Cambridge AICE Diploma in 2017. Please check the

Candidates may take more than the required number of credits. The rules in such cases are that the grade
achieved for Cambridge International AS & A Level Global Perspectives & Research (Grade E(e)/e(e) or better)
will always count, and that once at least one subject has been taken and passed at Grade E(e)/e(e) or better from
each curriculum/subject group (1, 2 and 3), the best total of credits will then be counted for the AICE Diploma
irrespective of the curriculum/subject group to the maximum of six further credits required. [Note: a maximum of
two credits can be used from Group 4 in this calculation.]
If a candidate is using an A Level outcome for their counting Global Perspectives they may also use one but not
both of any outcome for General Paper (available at AS Level only) or Thinking Skills (available at AS or A Level).
As a consequence, this would mean allowing the use of an outcome in A Level Thinking Skills for a candidate
using their A Level Global Perspectives even though this will exceed the two credit limit for Group 4. This will only
be allowed where this combination gives them their best overall outcome.
If a candidate’s best overall outcome is achieved through a combination of an A Level Global Perspectives and
three A Levels this will be allowed even though it equates to 8 credits. The maximum number of points a
candidate can be awarded for the Cambridge AICE Diploma is 420. The award received by the candidates is then
determined as follows:
Total score Award (if Cambridge AICE criteria are met)
360 to 420 Cambridge AICE Diploma with Distinction
250 to 359 Cambridge AICE Diploma with Merit
140 to 249 Cambridge AICE Diploma at Pass Level
Below 140 No Cambridge AICE Diploma
Candidates who fail to gain the Cambridge AICE Diploma will be awarded Cambridge International AS and A
Level certificates showing the results in the individual subjects taken.

4.2.7 Cambridge AICE Diploma results and certificates
Candidates who complete the Cambridge AICE Diploma in one series will receive a statement of results and
certificate showing the grades achieved in individual subjects, a Cambridge AICE Diploma statement of results
and a separate Cambridge AICE Diploma certificate.
Candidates taking the Cambridge AICE Diploma over more than one series will receive a statement of results and
certificate at the end of each series as applicable. They will also receive a Cambridge AICE Diploma statement of
results and a separate Cambridge AICE Diploma certificate at the end of the final examination series.
The Cambridge AICE Diploma statement of results will show the type of award, the aggregate total point score,
the individual subject points and an asterisk against the subjects which contributed to the total point score. An
aggregate point score will not be reported on the Cambridge AICE Diploma statement of results for candidates
who fail.
Candidates can re-sit the Cambridge AICE Diploma if all results counting towards the re-sit fall within a 25-month
period. They can also re-sit individual subjects. In this case the result for 9239 Global Perspectives & Research
will be used and then the best six credits which fulfil the requirements described in 4.2.6.
Candidates re-sitting the Cambridge AICE Diploma using results over multiple series will not receive a new
Diploma if they:
Issuing a new Diploma for these candidates would mean certifying the same result twice. The November 2017
Cambridge AICE Diploma entry for these candidates will be set to ‘X’ as ‘No Result’. We will notify the Centre on
the date results are issued.
