In another tweet, Shafqat Mehmood confirmed that, “Cambridge has decided grades for June 2020 would not be less than the predicted grades sent by schools. However, if a grade was higher than the predicted grade, the higher grade will stand.”

Great news. Our tireless effort has been successful. Cambridge has decided that grades for June 2020 would NOT BE LESS THAN PREFICTED GRADES SENT BY SCHOOLS. PLUS Where a grade issued last week was HIGHER THAN THE PREDICTED GRADE, THE HIGHER GRADE WILL STAND.

The issue of grading took place when Cambridge CAIE issued results for O & Level 2020 exams that were cancelled based on predicted grades from schools however, the final grading was unfair according to most students based on their performance, assignments and mock exams.

Furthermore, many A Level students lost scholarships and their changes to get admitted to a university of their choice because of the unfair grading process by Cambridge (CAIE).
