Assessment Options

Cambridge International A Level is typically a two-year course, and Cambridge

International AS Level is typically one year. Some subjects can be started as a
Cambridge International AS Level and extended to a Cambridge International A Level.
Find out more about different subject assessments in the Subjects section of this
information book.

Students can choose from the following assessment options at SIS to gain Cambridge
International AS & A Level qualifications:

1. Take the Cambridge International AS Level only. The syllabus content is half a
Cambridge International A Level.
2. Take a ‘staged’ assessment route – take the Cambridge International AS Level
in one examination series and complete the final Cambridge International A
Level at a subsequent series.

We hold Cambridge International AS & A Level examination, in June. Results are

issued in August and January.

Grading System

Each subject that a student takes receives a separate grade.Grades are benchmarked
using internationally recognised grades, which have clear guidelines to explain the
standards of achievement.

The Cambridge International A Level is reported on a grade scale from A* (highest) to E

(minimum required performance). There is no A* grade for Cambridge International AS
Levels, which run from grade A to E.

AS Level grades are submitted to university applications and are the basis for
conditional acceptance to a course a student may wish to study. Teachers use AS
Level grades to give students valuable feedback on their performance, identifying
strengths and weaknesses before they complete their full Cambridge International A
Level.

A Level grades are submitted to admissions officers at the universities to which the
students have applied. It is these final grades that determine whether a student is
accepted or rejected by their chosen university.
Choosing the right subject combination

We offer a choice of subjects and students can choose between three and five that they
are interested in studying. This flexibility means schools can build an individualised
curriculum, and learners can choose to specialise in a particular subject area or study a
range of subjects.

More than with IGCSEs, subject choice at A Level is crucial. For many university
courses there are specific subjects that must be studied at A Level. It is therefore
important for students to research before choosing subjects. If students are unsure of
the exact course that they would like to study at university, but they know what field it is
going to be in, for example Science, this should guide their choices. If students are
completely unclear as to their future direction they should focus on subjects that they
enjoy and can do well in.

strives to tell us about the natural world around us. Biology can tell us about the
physical makeup of our bodies and those of other animals and plants. It enables us to
produce cures and treatments for many diseases. The study of biology has an
immediate relevance to our daily lives. Are you intrigued with the incredible variety of
organisms that inhabit our planet?

Have you wondered about their origin and how they have evolved? Have you asked
yourself if we can reverse the destruction of ecosystems? Do you wonder where
genetic engineering will lead? Are you interested in how the human brain functions to
articulate, comprehend and pursue these problems? Then biology is the subject for you.

Chemistry
Why Study Chemistry?

Chemistry provides important understanding of our world and how it works. It is an

extremely practical science that greatly impacts our daily living. Every time we light a
match, boil an egg or simply breathe in and out, we perform a chemical reaction. Our
bodies grow, develop and function as a result of chemical processes. Our clothes and
nearly all the objects of our everyday life are manufactured by the chemical
transformation of raw materials like oil or iron ore, or by the chemical treatment of
natural products like wood or wool. Have you ever wondered why leaves turn colours in
the fall and how a battery generates electricity?

Universities value learners who have a thorough understanding of key concepts in

chemistry, an in-depth knowledge of chemistry’s most important themes and strong
practical skills. Cambridge International AS and A Level Chemistry helps learners
develop the knowledge and skills that will prepare them for successful university study.

Why Study Sociology?

In a rapidly changing world, Cambridge International AS and A Level Sociology offers

students the opportunity not only to explore the processes that are shaping current
trends, but also to develop an understanding of the complexity and diversity of human
societies and their continuities with the past. The study of Sociology should stimulate
awareness of contemporary social, cultural and political issues, and focus attention on
the importance of examining these issues in a rigorous, reasoned and analytical way.

Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and
consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups,
organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Since all
human behaviour is social, the subject matter of sociology has a very wide scope.
