Specification update for Entry Level Mathematics
27 April 2026
We have updated our specification for the Entry Level Certificate in Mathematics (R449).
In the 'Use of Calculators' section on page 29, we've updated our wording to provide better clarity and consistency. We've made this change to align with the current guidance in the JCQ Instructions for conducting examinations (section 10).
You can view the updated Entry Level Mathematics specification (version 3.1) on our website and Teach Cambridge.
