Different grades awarded for passing an AS or A level exam are converted to a number of points as shown in the table below
Those who comply with the minimum requirement to receive a diploma receive a Cambridge AICE Diploma at one of three levels: Pass, Merit or Distinction. That level is determined by the addition of the number of points received in the tests.
The point ranges for each category are:
- Cambridge AICE Diploma at Pass level: 140 to 249 points
- Cambridge AICE Diploma with Merit: 250 to 359 points
- Cambridge AICE Diploma with Distinction: 360 points or above
In my case, I got to the Distinction level by graduation and to the Merit level by the end of my junior year, a fact that I was able to include in my college applications.
