1.Brief introduction

Cambridge O Level is an internationally recognized qualification equivalent to Cambridge IGCSE and the UK GCSE. It provides learners with excellent preparation for Cambridge Advanced as well as other progression routes

The O-level (Ordinary Level) is a subject-based qualification conferred as part of the General Certificate of Education. It was introduced as part of British educational reform in the 1950s alongside the more in-depth and academically rigorous A-level (official title of qualification: General Certificate of Education - Advanced Level) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Those three jurisdictions replaced O-Levels gradually with General Certificate of Secondary Education and International General Certificate of Secondary Education exams over time. The Scottish equivalent was the O-grade (replaced by the Standard Grade). The O-Level qualification is still awarded by CIE Cambridge International Examinations, the international counterpart of the British examination Board OCR (Oxford, Cambridge & Royal Society of Arts), in select locations, instead of or alongside the International General Certificate of Secondary Education qualifications.

Cambridge O-Level is an internationally recognized qualification equivalent to Cambridge IGCSE and UK GCSE. Cambridge O-Level provides learners with excellent preparation for academic progression to Cambridge Advanced as well as other progression routes.

We designed Cambridge O-Level for an international audience. It is sensitive to the needs of different countries and for learners whose first language may not be English. This is acknowledged during the assessment process.

In some countries, schools use Cambridge O-Level as an international alternative or addition to the local government's examination.

A broad curriculum

The Cambridge O- Level curriculum enables teaching to be placed in a localized context, making it relevant wherever you teach it. You can choose from more than 40 subjects in any combination.

The Cambridge O- Level curriculum emphasizes broad and balanced study across a wide range of subjects. It develops learners' skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving and is structured so they build practical skills and theoretical knowledge.

Cambridge O- Levels develop learner knowledge, understanding and skills in:

?Subject content

?Applying knowledge and understanding to familiar and new situations

?Intellectual enquiry

?Flexibility and responsiveness to change

?Working and communicating in English

?Influencing outcomes

?Cultural awareness.

3. Qualification

Cambridge O-Level leads to internationally recognized qualifications, accepted by leading universities and employers worldwide as evidence of academic ability.

Assessment takes place at the end of the course and includes written, oral and practical examinations. This gives learners a variety of ways to show their knowledge and skills, particularly when their first language is not English.

Grades are bench-marked using six internationally recognized grades, from A* to E, which have clear guidelines to explain the standard of achievement.

Cambridge O-Level examination series occur twice a year, in June and November.

Results are issued in August and January

4, Recognition

Cambridge O-Level qualifications are recognized by universities and employers around the world as evidence of academic achievement. Many universities worldwide require a combination of Cambridge International AS and A Levels and Cambridge O-Levels to meet their entry requirements.

Leading US and Canadian universities require Cambridge International AS and A Levels, but some US and Canadian colleges and universities will accept learners with five Cambridge O-Levels at grade C or above. Check the admissions policy of individual institutions for more information.
