Understanding your results

How are syllabus grades reported on results documents?

We report syllabus grades on results documents as detailed in the table opposite. Please note a Grade X indicates `NO RESULT' and is usually issued

if the candidate appears not to have completed all components of the assessment or due to a decision not to issue a result for some other reason. A Grade Q indicates `PENDING' and is issued when a result cannot be issued at present but will follow in due course.
