What is the Cash in Code?

Cashing in is the last stage of creating a grade for a qualification that is made up of a series of units.
Usually for Advanced Subsidiary qualifications, you must take half of the total units before you can get a
grade; for Advanced GCE you must take all the units.
Cashing in should have been done at the same time as the entries were made for you for particular units
this summer If you, or your school or college, didnt enter the cash-in code for a particular subject you wont
have a grade for it.. If you are unsure whether this was done, please contact either your school or British
Council who will be able to check whether or not a cash-in code was submitted. You can also check on
your statement of entry - cash-in-codes always start with an 8 for AS and 9 for A level.
If it wasnt, you can apply for the late cash-in-code by filling the Late Award Claim form. This form is
available at the exams counter. Please note that there is a charge of BDT 1500.00 for this service
To enable the examination board to calculate an overall grade, it is necessary to have the right number of
units and the cash-in code. For some subjects it is also necessary to have the right combination of units especially Mathematics.
To receive an overall qualification grade you/your school or college must enter you for the last of the units
that you are taking and a cash-in code. For example, the Edexcel A level Physics qualification is made up
as follows:

Specification Part

Unit Code

Unit 1

Unit 5
Unit 6
Cash-in Code: 9PH07

6PH01
6PH02
6PH07

You can sit for these six units in one session or you can split these in different sessions. Whatever you do
you will be eligible to claim an A level Physics qualification when you have completed all the six units. claim
any grade.
