AVOID CLASH IN TIMETABLE Timetable Clash

London Composite Timetable May 2018

LONDON EXAMINATIONS, EDEXCEL GCE / IAL / IGCSE / GCSE EXAMINATIONS – MAY / JUNE 2018 TIMETABLE

AVOID CLASH IN TIMETABLE The examination timetables are decided by the Examination Boards. It is the candidates’ responsibility to check CAREFULLY the relevant examination timetables (including GCE / IAL / GCSE / IGCSE) and the regulations, syllabuses and other relevant information on the Edexcel website (www.edexcel.com) before submitting their entries so as to avoid timetable clashes among subjects entered and prohibited combination of subjects/units. Normally, no special arrangements will be made under such circumstances. Candidates who wish to sit more than one examination session on the same day are advised to check and ensure that there is sufficient break time (e.g. two hours) between examination sessions for travelling and taking rest. These examinations may be held at different examination centres required travelling. Please pay attention to the start time specified below. Candidates who are going to enter Cambridge GCE / IGCSE (May / June 2018) should also check the Cambridge examination timetables to avoid clashes between the two examinations.

GCE A Level & International Advanced Level (IAL) qualifications

Important Notice for Making Examination Registrations in HKEAA

June 2018 GCE / IAL Examinations

Please read the below information when registering for GCE A Level, International Advanced Level

(IAL) examinations in June 2018.

GCE A level

GCE A level examinations are only available in the May/June examination series.

Final resit opportunity for the following legacy specifications has concluded in 2017.

Candidates are reminded to enter for the new linear qualification in 2018:

- Biology A (8BN0/9BN0) - Biology B (8BI0/9BI0) - Business (8BS0/9BS0) - Chemistry (8CH0/9CH0) - Economics A (8EC0/9EC0) - Economics B (8EB0/9EB0) - English Language (8EN0/9EN0) - English Language & Literature (8EL0/9EL0) - English Literature (8ET0/9ET0) - History (8HI0/9HI0) - Physics (8PH0/9PH0) - Psychology (8PS0/9PS0)

The following subjects have final resit opportunity scheduled in May/June 2018.

NB: Only candidates, who had attempted the units and cashed in for the relevant AS/A Level

awards in 2017 and before, may re-sit units linked to the respective award:

- French - Geography - German - Religious Studies - Spanish

IAL and GCE information for candidates. Updated October 2017

The following subjects have final examinations in May/June 2018.

These subjects are available to both existing and new candidates.

However they MUST be entered for ALL required units and CASH-IN for grades.

Final re-sit opportunity for these legacy specifications is scheduled for May/June 2019 when only

existing candidates can re-sit for the final time:

- Chinese - Government and Politics - Italian - Mathematics - Russian

International Advanced Level (IAL) Subjects available in the IAL June 2018 examination series

(please refer to International Information Manual for unit availability):

- Science – Biology, Chemistry, Physics

- Mathematics (Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Pure Mathematics)

- Business – Business Studies, Economics

- Accounting - Law - English - English Language, English Literature

- History - Psychology - Geography * - Modern Foreign Language – French, German, Spanish *

- Arabic - Greek *

* Subjects not currently offered by HKEAA.

IAL Re-sit Students can resit any unit irrespective of whether the qualification is to be cashed in. If a student

resits a unit more than once, only the better of the two most recent, non-absent, attempts at an IAL

unit will be available for aggregation to a qualification grade. The policy document is here. (https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/International%20Advanced%20Level/2013/Forms

%20and%20administration/IAL-entry-aggregation-and-certification-rules-update.pdf)

For instance if a candidate sits an examination for the first time and achieve 80 marks and sit the

same examination again and achieve 70 marks (80 marks will be used to calculate overall subject

grade). However if the candidate sits the same examination again and achieves 60 marks, 70 marks

will be used to calculate the grade (the first 80 marks is no longer valid as only the last two attempts

will be eligible to use).

NB: Candidates are only counted as taking an examination if they were present at the time of the

examination. If a candidate is absent from the examination, it will not count as an attempt.

This resit rule is not applicable for Law as is it is a linear qualification.

Mathematics (Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Pure Mathematics) has a separate Entry, Aggregation and Certification

(http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/International%20Advanced%20Level/2013/Forms%

20and%20administration/ial-mathematics-rules-guidance-for-centres.pdf) document that is specific to

Mathematics, which explains in more detail the ways in which the 12 units can be combined to

achieve the three Mathematics qualifications.

IAL and GCE information for candidates. Updated October 2017

Information regarding IAL and GCE certification

Only GCE units can contribute to GCE awards. (Students cannot combine GCE and IAL units)

Only IAL units can contribute to IAL awards. (Students cannot combine GCE and IAL units)

Candidates may enter for both GCE and IAL subjects separately.

GCE examinations are only available in the May/June series

IAL examinations are available in January, May/June and October series

Candidates must use the same UCI for both the GCE and IAL examinations.

Candidates who take IAL examinations will be awarded IAL certificates.

IAL certificates will have Pearson Logo as they are regulated by Pearson.

Other important information:

For information regarding university progression and recognition for IAL qualifications, please

check our Progression+ website. (https://degreecoursefinder.pearson.com/)

Candidates must check that they are eligible to sit examinations and that they have sufficient

IAL units to cash-in for the qualification when requesting for cash-in.
