What Are the Cambridge Exams?

The Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) exams are globally recognised qualifications taken by students in over 160 countries. These include:

  • Cambridge O Level – Designed for students aged 14 to 16, Cambridge O Level is equivalent to the GCSE and follows a structured, exam-based format. It is commonly offered in regions such as Asia and Africa, with syllabuses adapted to suit local educational contexts.
  • IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) – Also for students aged 14–16, offering a flexible and global approach.
  • Cambridge International AS & A Levels – Advanced qualifications for students aged 16–19, accepted for university entry worldwide.

Cambridge qualifications are recognised by universities and employers around the world, providing students with a strong foundation for further education, career opportunities, and global mobility.

  1. How can we prepare for the exams?
  • Use official Cambridge past papers, mark schemes, syllabuses, and revision guides. Many online platforms and tutors also offer preparation.
  1. Can results be appealed?
