We’re always developing new support materials to help teachers deliver Cambridge programmes successfully in the classroom. Here are some of the latest resources on the School Support Hub, our secure online site for teachers at Cambridge schools. You can find them in the 'Teaching and learning' section of the relevant syllabus page.
If you have never had an account for the School Support Hub, speak to the School Support Coordinator at your school, and they will help set one up for you.
Example Candidate Responses (ECR)
The Example Candidate Responses (ECR) booklets provide illustrative examples of candidate work at different levels of performance. Each answer is annotated with examiner comments on the awarded mark and any mistakes the candidate has made. The examiner explains how the candidate could have improved their answer, and lists common mistakes made in this question across all candidates who sat the exam.
New ECR’s:
- Cambridge International AS & A Level Marine Science 9693 (for examination from 2022)
- Cambridge International AS Level Portuguese 8684 (for examination from 2022)
- Cambridge International AS & A Level Portuguese 9718 (for examination from 2022).
Example Candidate Responses (ECR) – speaking
The Example Candidate Responses (ECR) for speaking are an online resource, which focuses on real speaking tests demonstrating different levels of candidate performance. Each candidate response is followed by examiner comments on the strengths and weaknesses of the test and common mistakes and misconceptions. Transcripts of the audios and additional examiner commentaries are also included.
