Results Slips
Your school or college may generate a combined results slip with the results of all the different awarding bodies.
Alternately they may use results slips from each awarding body. We produce results slips like the example shown below.

Teacher assessed grades for Year 12 (Year 13 in Northern Ireland)
Your school/college may have claimed a smaller qualification for you this year before you complete your main qualification in 2021/22.
The result for the smaller qualification does not limit the grade you can get at the end of the course.
If the result is not what you expected, talk to your teachers, however the grade does not limit you to certain results when you complete your course. A Cambridge Technical overall result can be a mixture of Passes, Merits and Distinctions at unit level. For example, you do not require all Distinctions at unit level for an overall Distinction.
