Students were “stunned and aggrieved” and demanded a revision after their O and A level results were downgraded by Cambridge International board , which marked students based on a formula in the absence of the usual exams due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The O level exam results will likely come out in the third week of this month.
This year, all boards responsible for arranging O level and A level exams across the globe decided not to hold exams for its June 2020 series due to the coronavirus outbreak. Instead, they prepared results based on predicted grades and previous academic records submitted by schoolteachers, English medium schoolteachers said.
Cambridge International in a statement on Thursday said their awarding process combined teacher insights — predicted grades and rank orders — with a rigorous standardisation process, keeping teacher judgments consistent across different schools.
...Schools can make different sorts of appeals to us, and we will consider each appeal carefully and make changes where needed,” a spokesperson for Cambridge International said Thursday night.
