Candidates will receive their results at the same time, regardless of whether they sat their exams or followed the portfolio of evidence route.

To support you, we have prepared some guidance to help you prepare for and manage results day in your centre.

We made different options available to help you run exams in June 2022.

Guidance — This helps teachers and candidates adapt to the current circumstances. This was available to everyone; you did not need to apply.
Adjustments — Candidates take the component in a way that is easier to manage. You needed to apply to use these by 17 April 2022.
Exemptions — Candidates do not take a particular component but still receive an overall syllabus grade. You needed to apply to use these by 17 April 2022.
Special consideration — We adjust a candidate’s mark to allow for adverse or unexpected circumstances. You needed to apply for this.

To make it easier to use and understand, we structure our guidance around the phases of the Cambridge Exams Cycle.
