Important ‘Component exemption’ information for Private Candidates sitting Cambridge October/November exams

 Cambridge has announced that private candidates can apply to not sit some components in the October/Novemebr 2022 exam series if your learning has been disrupted by Covid-19.

 These applications are called ‘Covid-19 exemptions’ and the eligible components include practical examinations for science and ICT subjects, and some speaking and listening tests for language subjects. Not all subjects available in October/November 2022 have components which are eligible for Covid-19 exemptions.

 The full list of eligible subjects and components can be found here.

 You can apply for a Component exemption if your learning was disrupted because the component required:

  • access to facilities and equipment that has not been possible due to Covid-19 disruption, e.g. instruments, laboratories, studios, audio visual equipment, sports facilities, specific software, specialist material.
  • working with others, e.g. in pairs, groups or teams, which have not been possible due to Covid-19 disruption.

 You will not be required to submit any evidence to The British Council or Cambridge to prove your learning has been disrupted by Covid-19.

 Next Steps:

  1. Please make your entries for the Oct/Nov 2022 exam series as normal with The British Council.
  2. Apply for Covid-19 exemptions if required. Please click here for the exemption application. Please note that all applications need to submitted on or before 10 September 2022.

If Cambridge approves your application, then it is important that you must sit the remaining components in the subject. If you’re absent for the other components then Cambridge cannot award you a grade.

 Understanding and accepting the risks of applying for Covid-19 exemptions:

If Cambridge approves your application, then your final grade will be decided based on your performance in the component(s) that you do sit.  

 Therefore, there are risks with Covid-19 exemptions which you must understand before you apply:

  • If you underperform in the components you sit, then you may receive a lower overall grade than if you took all the components.
  • If you’re absent from sitting a remaining component (e.g. you’re ill, you need to self-isolate, or there’s a lockdown on the day of the exam) there may not be sufficient evidence for Cambridge to award a final grade. You would therefore receive ‘NO RESULT’ for this subject.

 Applying for a Covid-19 exemption

Remember:

  • You can only apply for an exemption for the syllabuses and components appearing on the list of eligible subjects and components
  • You must make your entries as normal first.

 We will provide more information soon.
