All units currently available in January will be available for one final sitting in January 2014.This option is only available for the subjects where we are offering an International Advancedlevel alternative. For all other subjects, exams will be available in June only. January 2014exams, based on the existing Edexcel GCE A-level specification, will be available in thefollowing subjects:

Mathematics

Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) International units only.

Economics

Business

Accounting

Students can therefore cash-in as planned in January 2014 to complete their Edexcel GCE

A-level qualification. If this option is taken, please note the following points:

The specification and assessment remain unchanged; therefore you should continueto prepare your students for their final January exams in 2014 in the usual way.

Students will be awarded an Edexcel International Advanced level, regulated byPearson, instead of an Edexcel GCE A level. This is because Ofqual has made adecision that the regulated Edexcel GCE A level qualifications can no longer include aJanuary exam series.

All entries for January 2014 must be accompanied by a cash-in code.

Students wishing to complete their Edexcel GCE A-levels in June 2014

The solution above has been agreed for specifically students who must complete their coursein January. Other students who are planning to complete their A-levels in June 2014, will notbe able to sit an exam in January 2014, but will still be able to complete their course in June2014 as planned.

We appreciate this is a challenging time for you and your students and we would like to thank

you for your continued support. Your local representative is available to answer anyquestions you may have and to fully support you through this difficult transitional period.
