Title: New Certificate
Post by: Diablo on August 31, 2009, 05:59:41 pm

I've read a post in a topic regarding resitting exams. Someone mentioned that Cambridge will issue a new certificate containing your best grades in the past 2 years.

If I understood correctly, that means the certificate will also show your subjects that you didn't resit in November? or will it only show your subjects that you have done in november?

I'll give you an example...

in the May/June sessions I got

Physics:A
Chemistry: A
Computer: B
Math: B
Biology: A
English: A

So let's say in the Oct/Nov session I chose to resit Computer and Math and got the following:
Math: A
Computer: A

So my new issued certificate would look like this:

Physics:A
Chemistry: A
Computer: A
Math: A
Biology: A
English: A

I hear a lot of different answers, so please be certain.

Note: The grades are just examples.

I think it sounds like a summary of your grades. Useful for colleges and unis

Hey,

It will show your best grades. But if your university wants to know ur previous grades, they can do so as well if they are americans.

Are you sure that it shows your best grades even if the subjects you did not sit in that session?

At the end the university you will enter will choose the highest grades you got, no matter on which certificate they are located
