Cambridge IGCSE (9-1) English as a Second Language syllabuses 0991 and 0993 (and A*- G equivalents, 0510/0511) have changed from 2024. The raw marks and overall weightings have changed too.
However, the awarding standard of a syllabus does not change when structural changes are implemented. Our aim is to maintain the standard of the qualification, and this means that the standard of candidate work required to achieve a certain grade in that syllabus does not vary from year-to-year.
During the grading process, where we determine grade thresholds for all components and options, we look at a range of centre information, such as forecast grades and the performance of different cohorts of candidates, to help us ensure that the standard of a qualification is maintained from one year to another. The number of marks a candidate needs to achieve a particular grade may change, but the awarding standard does not. Grade thresholds are only set after a question paper has been sat and marked and we are therefore not able to publish these in advance.
For further details refer to the relevant syllabus document on our website.
