English Literature

A Cambridge International A Level qualification in English Language can be achieved either as a staged assessment over different examination series or in one examination series.

Once Advanced Subsidiary has been achieved, inform Cambridge if the candidate wishes to take the Advanced Level – this notification is not required in advance of achieving the AS qualification. 

Candidates following a staged assessment route who have taken AS English Language syllabus 8693 in year 2013 and who wish to sit Papers 3 and 4 of syllabus 9093 in 2014 will be able to gain an A Level. (Syllabus 8693 is examined for the last time in November 2013 and is replaced by Papers 1 and 2 of syllabus 9093 in 2014.) 

Candidates following a linear two year course, with all examinations at the end of their course, will be able to take Papers 1, 2, 3 and 4 of syllabus 9093 in 2015.
