If you sat Cambridge IGCSE, AS or A Level exams in the June 2026 series, results season is here. This guide covers when Cambridge releases results, what time they appear in your country, how to access them, and — most importantly — what to do next, whether you are celebrating or planning a retake.
When are Cambridge results released in 2026?
Cambridge International (CAIE) releases results for the June series in mid-August. For the June 2026 series:
- Cambridge International AS & A Level: released to schools on Tuesday 12 August 2026, then to students via school portals the same week.
- Cambridge IGCSE and O Level: released to schools on Tuesday 18 August 2026 (typically a few days after A Level results).
- UK A Level results day (JCQ): Thursday 13 August 2026.
- UK GCSE results day (JCQ): Thursday 20 August 2026.
Your school receives results before students do. Most schools share them the same morning, either in person, by email, or through their portal.

What time do results come out? (by country)
Cambridge publishes results at a fixed UK time, which means the local time depends on where you are:
| Region | Approximate local time |
|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Early morning (BST) |
| India | Early–mid afternoon (IST) |
| Malaysia / Singapore | Evening (MYT/SGT) — this is why “IGCSE results Malaysia time” spikes every August |
| UAE / Gulf | Early afternoon (GST) |
| Australia (AEST) | Late evening |
Check with your school for the exact release window — schools sometimes hold results until the next school day.
How to check your Cambridge results
- Through your school — the standard route. Your exams officer distributes statements of results.
- Cambridge Results Service / CIE Direct — if your school has given you a candidate login, you can view results online the day of release.
- Private candidates — results go to the centre where you sat the exams; contact that centre.
Your statement of results shows grades per syllabus. The certificate arrives at your school a few months later — you will need it for university applications, so collect it.
Understanding your grades and grade boundaries
- IGCSE is graded A–G (or 9–1 for some syllabuses); AS & A Level are graded A–E (AS: a–e).
- Grade boundaries are published by Cambridge shortly after results release. If you are 1–3 marks below a boundary, an enquiry about results (remark) may be worth it.
- Enquiries about results (EAR): your school submits these — there is a deadline a few weeks after release, so decide quickly.
1. Remark (Enquiry About Results)
Best when you are a small number of marks below a boundary. Grades can go up or down. Ask your exams officer for the fee and deadline.
2. Retake in the October/November 2026 series
Cambridge runs a second series every year. Entries for October/November 2026 typically close in early-to-mid September 2026 at most centres — confirm the exact deadline with your exams officer. That gives you roughly 8–10 weeks to improve — enough to move one or two grades in a subject with focused, targeted work.

3. Reassess your pathway
If a retake does not fit your timeline, talk to your school counsellor about foundation years, alternative university offers, or January-intake programmes.
What to do if you did well
- A Level students: confirm your university offer (UCAS, or your local admissions process), and keep your statement of results safe.
- IGCSE students moving to AS Level or IB: the jump in difficulty is real. See our guide on SL vs HL subject choices in IB if you are weighing the IB route.
- Consider a free demo session to get ahead on the first term’s hardest topics.

FAQ
Q: What time do IGCSE results come out in Malaysia?
Cambridge releases results at a fixed UK morning time, which is evening in Malaysia (MYT). Your school controls when you actually see them — many Malaysian international schools release the following morning.
Q: Can I retake just one subject?
Yes. Cambridge allows single-syllabus entries in the October/November series.
Q: Do universities see my first attempt?
Policies vary. Many universities consider your best result, but some competitive courses ask for all sittings. Check each university’s policy.
