Exam boards are entities that provide students with certificates, and it is their duty to generate test papers, mark your job and award your score.

They replaced the former CSE and O-Level qualifications, uniting the two qualifications to allow more students to have access to the full spectrum of grades. However, often the exam papers had a choice of questions intended for the applicants who were more competent and less capable.
