Cambridge May/June 2026 Results
AS & A Level results were released on Tuesday 11 August 2026 at 06:00 BST (05:00 UTC). IGCSE & O Level results follow on Tuesday 18 August 2026 at the same time.
Thinking about a November resit? The standard Cambridge entry deadline is 16 August 2026 — five days after A Level results and before IGCSE results day. Entries go through your school's exams officer, so speak to them now rather than waiting for your IGCSE grades.

How to Check Your Results
Most schools share results directly on results day. Contact your exams officer a few days before to confirm the process and timing.
Your school may provide login credentials for myresults.cie.org.uk to check results online from 06:00 BST.
Access results via Cambridge International Direct using credentials provided by your examination centre.
What You'll See in Your Results
Your Statement of Results will include the following for each subject:
Overall Grade
Your final grade for the subject:
"U" means Ungraded (below minimum threshold).
Percentage Uniform Mark (PUM)
A score from 0–100 that shows where you sit within your grade band. Accounts for differences in paper difficulty across sessions.
Appears on the Statement of Results only — not on the Certificate.
Component Grades
Individual grades for each paper you sat (e.g., Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 4). These show performance per component separately.
The overall grade uses a weighted formula — not a simple average of component grades.
Statement vs Certificate
The Statement of Results (results day) shows grades, PUM, and component grades. The official Certificate arrives 6–8 weeks later with only the overall grade.
Understanding Grade Boundaries
Grade boundaries are the minimum raw marks needed for each grade. They vary each session based on paper difficulty and overall candidate performance. Our guide to understanding grade thresholds explains how Cambridge sets them and how to read them.
When are they published?
Grade thresholds are published on each results day — 11 August for A Level, 18 August for IGCSE.
Where to find them
Past grade thresholds are on each subject's past papers page (e.g., Physics 0625, A Level Physics 9702).
After Results Day
Enquiries About Results (EAR)
Request a remark through your school if you believe your paper was marked incorrectly:
- - Service 1: Clerical re-check (admin errors)
- - Service 2: Full re-mark by a senior examiner
- - Service 3: Return of scripts (see your actual papers)
Deadlines run from the results release date and differ by service, so your centre's internal cut-off is earlier than Cambridge's. Ask your exams officer for the exact date that applies to you. A grade can go down as well as up, and the fee is normally refunded only if the grade changes.
Retaking Exams
Options to improve your grade:
- - Next opportunity: October/November 2026
- - Standard entry deadline: 16 August 2026
- - Late entry deadline: 21 September 2026 (extra fee)
- - Exams start: 28 September 2026
- - Retake individual papers or the full subject
- - The higher grade is typically the one used
- - A Level: can retake AS or A2 components separately
16 August falls between the two results days. If you get A Level results on 11 August and want a November resit at the standard fee, you have five days — and IGCSE results don't arrive until 18 August, after that deadline has passed. Entries are made by your school's exams officer, not by you directly, so raise it with them early.
These are Cambridge's global deadlines — your school/centre will have earlier internal cut-offs. Always check with your centre directly. Source: Cambridge Key Dates for November 2026 (PDF).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are AS/A Level and IGCSE results on different days?
Cambridge releases AS & A Level results first (11 August) so universities can process UCAS confirmations before IGCSE results day (18 August). This matches the UK system where A Level results drive university admissions decisions.
What time are June 2026 results released?
Both results dates go live at 06:00 BST (05:00 UTC). AS & A Level on 11 August, IGCSE & O Level on 18 August. That's 09:00 in UAE, 10:30 in India, 13:00 in Singapore.
What is the Percentage Uniform Mark (PUM)?
PUM is a standardised score (0–100) that shows where you sit within your grade band. A PUM of 72 with a grade B means you were near the top of the B range. It accounts for paper difficulty and appears on the Statement of Results but not on the Certificate.
Can I get my paper re-marked?
Yes, through Enquiries About Results (EAR). Your school submits the request. Options: clerical re-check (Service 1), full re-mark (Service 2), or script return (Service 3). The EAR deadline for June 2026 is approximately 20 September 2026. Your grade can go up or down. Fee is refunded if the grade increases.
When can I retake if I'm unhappy with my grade?
The next session is October/November 2026. You can retake individual papers or the full subject. For A Level, you can retake AS or A2 components separately. The higher grade is typically used. Speak to your school early — entry deadlines close months before the session.
How do A Level results affect my UCAS university application?
If you applied through UCAS with conditional offers, your results are sent automatically to your chosen universities on A Level results day. If you meet your conditions, your place is confirmed. If not, you may enter UCAS Clearing to find alternative places. Contact your university directly if you're borderline — they sometimes still accept.
What does "U" (Ungraded) mean?
"U" means Ungraded — your marks did not reach the minimum threshold for grade G (IGCSE) or grade E (A Level). It does not appear on the Certificate. You can retake the subject in a future session.
Results dates on this page follow Cambridge International's official Results page (cambridgeinternational.org), which confirms AS & A Level results on 11 August 2026 and IGCSE & O Level results on 18 August 2026, both at 06:00 BST.
Your school or exam centre is the definitive source for your own results, timings and any remark or retake deadlines — always check with your exams officer.
