For any performance data you are recording before the new coursework forms for 2019 are available, store the information until you can submit the data on the new forms with the other coursework evidence.
Coursework overview
4 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
2 Coursework overview
Coursework assesses candidates’ physical performance. This component is worth 50% of the total marks for the qualifi cation. It focuses on Assessment Objective 3: Demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance in practical activities.
Candidates are assessed and internally standardised by the Centre. Centre marks are externally moderated.
The coursework component requires candidates to offer four physical activities from at least two of seven categories. Each activity is marked out of 25 marks.
The physical activities are:
Categories Physical activities
Games activities Association footballBadmintonBaseball, Rounders or SoftballBasketballCricketGolfHandballHockey
LacrosseNetballRugby league or Rugby unionSquashTable tennisTennisVolleyball
Gymnastic activities Artistic gymnastics (fl oor and vault) or Rhythmic gymnastics

Rock climbingSailingSkiing or SnowboardingWindsurfi ng
Swimming Competitive swimming Life saving or Personal survival
Water polo
Combat activities Judo or Taekwondo
Planning
5 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
3 Planning
3.1 Choosing physical activitiesYou decide which of the physical activities from the list to teach and assess. This will be determined by several factors including:
• interests, stages of development and abilities of candidates
• teaching resources and expertise of staff
• facilities and equipment
• time available
• candidate numbers.
Typically, you will offer six to eight activities across the range of candidates, although some Centres will offer fewer or more activities. Providing a range of activities rather than just four is likely to better suit specifi c candidates.
Activities outside the school curriculum (where students have developed ability through other providers, for example a local club) can be assessed, but in all cases the activity must be on the list of activities in section 2 of this booklet and you must retain responsibility for monitoring, assessing and standardising candidates’ work.
3.2 Planning a courseAdditional materials to help you deliver Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education can be found on the Teacher Support Site at teachers.cie.org.uk:
• syllabus
• report on the examination, compiled by the Principal Examiner and Principal Moderator after each examination series
• past papers and mark schemes
• scheme of work
• example candidate responses
• Physical Education discussion forum
• Coursework Handbook.
3.3 Planning assessmentIt is recommended that assessment takes place at least three times during the course so that records of candidates’ progress are available. This allows for unforeseen circumstances, such as candidate ill health, which could prevent a fi nal assessment taking place.
If you teach physical activities on a modular basis over the course, you may need to fi lm evidence of candidates’ performance at the end of a module and then retain it for moderation purposes.
Planning
6 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
3.4 Health and safetyCandidates may be placed in physically demanding situations when taking part in physical activities. It is the responsibility of the Centre, through the Head of Physical Education or equivalent, to ensure that:
• candidates are capable of taking part in physical activities; if there is any doubt medical advice should be sought
• the health and safety of candidates is paramount and maintained at all times when candidates are engaged in physical activities as part of this course
• the necessary facilities and equipment are available and safe for each activity in which candidates take part
• additional safety guidelines included in the guidance notes are followed.
You should always follow best practice in conducting physical activities. A textbook that you may fi nd helpful is Safe Practice in Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity by the Association for Physical Education (2016; ISBN 978-1-909012-35-6).

4 Assessment
4.1 Assessment of performanceThe assessment, including the production of fi lmed evidence of candidates performing in physical activities, is an integral part of the Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education course. It is the responsibility of the Centre, through the Head of Physical Education or equivalent, to ensure that:
• they oversee the assessment process
• there is effective internal standardisation across the Centre’s assessments
• they oversee all staff involved in the assessments, including during off-site activities
• they arrange for evidence of performance to be fi lmed for the moderation sample.
You should identify a sample of fi ve candidates in each activity offered at the Centre, which will represent the full range of marks awarded by the Centre. See the samples database at www.cie.org.uk/samples
For each physical activity candidates must:
• respond readily to instructions
• recognise and follow relevant rules, laws, codes, etiquette and safety procedures for activities or events, in practice and during competitions
• understand the safety risks of wearing inappropriate clothing, footwear and jewellery, and why particular clothing, footwear and protection are worn for activities
• know how to use equipment safely
• be familiar with a warm-up routine before exercise and cool-down routine after exercise relevant to the exercise or physical activity
• be familiar with the practices, drills and games that are used for assessment.
Candidates in the sample should be identifi ed by large numbered or lettered bibs or card numbers pinned back and front in each activity. See section 4.2.4 of this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
There are three main stages in assessing the coursework component:
• the Centre marks candidates’ practical work
• the Centre internally standardises assessment of all candidates’ practical work
• Cambridge externally moderates the Centre assessment of candidates’ practical work.
There should be a suitable warm-up at the start of the performance. This is important for safety reasons as well as ensuring the candidates perform to the best of their ability. You do not need to fi lm the warm-up. You should assess candidates on skills (possibly in a conditioned situation) and then in a game/longer/full activity, if applicable.
Your assessment of all candidates’ performance should always take place during the activity and must not be based on fi lmed evidence.
Assessment
8 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
4.1.1 MarkingMarking criteria for each physical activity are provided in section 6 of this booklet.
The marking criteria for each physical activity include a performance description for each level. These give an overall description of the performance expected from a candidate achieving that level. The performance descriptions for each level are the same for all activities and are intended to ensure that it is not easier to obtain a level in one activity compared with another. You should consider this when carrying out Centre moderation.
Level Marks Performance description for all physical activities
Level 6 23–25 Candidates demonstrate:
• exceptional performance• performance that signifi cantly exceeds description for Level 5.
Level 5 19–22 Candidates demonstrate:
• performance that is effective, as appropriate to the activity• a good ability to select and apply the most appropriate skills• performance that usually produces intended results/accuracy.
Level 4 15–18 Candidates demonstrate:
• performance that is usually effective, as appropriate to the activity • an ability to perform and to apply a range of appropriate skills• performance that usually produces intended results/accuracy depending on level
of demand.
Level 3 11–14 Candidates demonstrate:
• performance that is sometimes effective, as appropriate to the activity• an ability to perform skills that are sometimes appropriate• performance that sometimes produces intended results/accuracy.
Level 2 6–10 Candidates demonstrate:
• performance that is inconsistent and is only occasionally effective • a limited ability to perform basic skills with a low level of demand• performance that occasionally produces intended results/accuracy.
Level 1 1–5 Candidates demonstrate:
• performance that is ineffective.
To further assist in assigning candidates to levels, the marking criteria also provide either:
• Performance tables for objectively marked activities (such as swimming and track and fi eld athletics) where the candidate’s level and mark is based on times/distances or
• Activity-specifi c guidance on the skills that are required to demonstrate each level of performance for a particular activity.
Assessment
9 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
The general marking principles for assessing activities with activity-specifi c skills guidance are as follows.
• The performance description and the activity-specifi c skills should be read and applied as a whole.
• A best-fi t approach should be used to match a candidate’s whole performance to a level. Candidates do not have to meet all the requirements within a level before a performance can be placed in that level. The question to ask about a performance is: does it match this level better than another level, e.g. does it match Level 4 better than it matches Level 3?
• The activity-specifi c skills guidance provides examples of the skills that the candidate is expected to be able to demonstrate at that level. Alternative skills may only be substituted if they are of at least equivalent diffi culty (e.g. the same or higher tariff skill in a trampolining routine).
• Marking should be positive, rewarding achievement where possible but clearly differentiating according to candidate ability.
• A candidate who can just demonstrate the skills listed should be awarded the minimum mark for that level.
• The way the skills are executed, including technique, form, control, consistency and the linking of skills, moves a candidate’s mark higher within the level. Marks awarded should refl ect similarities and differences between candidates.
• Weaker performance in one skill may be compensated for by the demonstration of stronger performance in another skill.
• If the performance convincingly fi ts all aspects of the activity-specifi c skills guidance and the performance description (and the teacher had perhaps been considering the band above), the highest mark should be awarded.
For activities with activity-specifi c guidance on skills, Centres should list all the candidates in rank order on the order of merit form for the activity, and assign them to approximate levels for their performance using the performance and skill descriptions, before assigning the individual marks. Boys and girls must be placed in separate lists, with the most able candidate at the top. The activity-specifi c skills guidance should assist in determining the rank order.
If Centres offer off-site activities, such as skiing and horse riding, and where instruction is provided by qualifi ed instructors, it is essential for Centre staff (that is the school teacher and not the off-site instructor) to assess the performance to verify the accuracy and authenticity of the marks awarded. Centre staff and not other adults must take responsibility for awarding the mark.
4.1.2 Assessment documentationAll coursework forms can be obtained from the samples database at www.cie.org.uk/samples
To record performance data for assessment from 2019, you should use the correct new coursework forms for use from 2019. These will be available from the samples database at www.cie.org.uk/samples in due course.
For any performance data you are recording before the new coursework forms for 2019 are available, store the information until you can submit the data on the new forms with the other coursework evidence.
The performance description and the activity-specifi c skills should be read and applied as a whole.
All marks should be recorded on the Coursework Assessment Summary Form.
Assessment
10 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
An order of merit form should also be completed for each physical activity. There are specifi c versions of this form for some physical activities, see the notes for each activity in section 6. Boys and girls can be assessed together, but marks should be placed in separate lists and in separate rank order. The sample of candidates shown in the fi lmed evidence should be identifi ed on the order of merit form. The candidate identifi cation in the fi lmed evidence should match the identifi cation on the forms.
For some physical activities, Cambridge requires the collection of additional evidence produced by candidates, such as route sheets in orienteering.
For some physical activities, candidates may submit additional evidence, such as results and fi lmed evidence from competitions.
If a candidate submits no work for the coursework component, they should be marked as absent from the component on the coursework mark sheets sent to Cambridge. If a candidate completes any work at all for the coursework component the work should be assessed according to the criteria and marking instructions and the appropriate mark, which may be zero, should be awarded.
4.1.3 Internal standardisationIf more than one teacher in the Centre is marking coursework, you must make arrangements to standardise teachers so that all candidates are assessed to a common standard. Activities should be standardised against each other (i.e. it should be equally diffi cult to achieve, for example, the same marks in association football as it is in hill walking).
The sample you submit to Cambridge should include examples of the marking of each teacher. You should record the internally moderated marks for all candidates on the Coursework Assessment Summary Form and on the order of merit forms and any other activity-specifi c assessment forms and submit these marks to Cambridge electronically or using the Internal Assessment Mark Sheet (MS1).
For information, dates and methods of submission of the coursework marks and sample please see the samples database at www.cie.org.uk/samples
Cambridge will externally moderate all internally assessed activities.
• You must submit the marks of all candidates to Cambridge.
• You must submit the marked work of the sample of candidates in each physical activity to Cambridge. The samples database provides details of how the sample is selected and how it should be submitted.
4.1.4 External moderationThe purpose of external moderation is to ensure that the standard for the award of marks in coursework is the same for each Centre and that each teacher has applied the standard appropriately across the range of candidates within the Centre.
4.2 Filming evidence for submission to Cambridge4.2.1 Requirement for fi lmingAll Centres must provide fi lmed evidence of the sample of fi ve candidates’ performances in every physical activity offered at the Centre. Filmed evidence is integral to the assessment of Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education. It is the responsibility of the Centre, through the Head of Physical Education or equivalent, to ensure that the fi lmed evidence is suffi ciently comprehensive and in a suitable format to enable external moderation to take place effi ciently. Production of fi lmed evidence of physical activities must not be delegated to candidates.
Assessment
11 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
The fi lmed evidence is used by the External Moderator as evidence to check on the standard of assessment. You are advised to take great care in producing the fi lmed evidence to ensure that it accurately shows the performance levels achieved by candidates. You could potentially disadvantage candidates by producing fi lmed evidence that is of low quality or which fails to provide the evidence to justify the awarded marks.
Each physical activity should have fi lmed evidence of approximately 10 to 15 minutes depending on candidate numbers.
4.2.2 Planning fi lmingThe Head of Physical Education or equivalent should carefully plan the production of fi lmed evidence to produce the best evidence of candidates’ performances.
• The teacher should plan the date(s) of assessment and prepare for the fi lming; bearing in mind that fi lming can be interrupted by weather or other school events.
• The teacher should keep a record of each practice/activity they plan to fi lm. The best fi lmed results often occur when one teacher fi lms the physical skill while another teacher organises the candidates and the practices/activities.
• The candidates selected for the fi lmed activities should be prepared for the occasion. It is a good idea to run through the skills likely to be fi lmed before the day of fi lming. During the practice the teacher can identify the best positions for placing the camera to fi lm each skill.
• The angle of the camera should enable both the skills and the outcome to be shown. For example, a lay up shot in basketball needs to show the player’s movement towards the basket and whether the shot is successful or not. Film angles should allow the following to be seen:
– candidate identifi ers at all times
– the execution of skills
– the outcome
– the interaction in conditioned team situations, e.g. marking in netball.
• Fixing the camera point (usually with a tripod) improves fi lming but only if the initial position is good.
• Camera, facilities and equipment need to be checked in advance to ensure the fi lming runs smoothly. Where teachers are using unfamiliar camera equipment they should practise using the equipment before fi lming takes place.
4.2.3 Performance requirements for fi lmingIn each activity, candidates should demonstrate their ability to perform the required skills and techniques. For example, in basketball, the ability to dribble, pass and receive the ball, and perform different methods of scoring in an unopposed situation should be fi lmed. Each of these skills can be demonstrated clearly in a small group situation, e.g. a lay up shot with three candidates attempting to perform the shot from one side of the basket while two or three other candidates retrieve the ball off the backboard in a continuous drill. It may be possible to place the candidates in a simple conditioned game where team skills, if applicable, can be demonstrated. In such a situation, a half-court game or similar might be used. Finally, higher ability candidates should be seen in a full game.
The fi lming of performance in all physical activities consists of two aspects.
1 Skills practice. A teacher should organise skills practices. When the teacher is satisfi ed that the candidates for the fi lmed sample know what they need to demonstrate, they should be fi lmed for each practice/drill. This should be continuously fi lmed from a distance to show all candidates in the sample
Assessment
12 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
demonstrating this particular skill. The fi lming for one practice may only last a few minutes and then the teacher will move on to a different skill. The fi lming will continue until all the essential skills of the activity have been shown in isolation or in small group practices. The fi lm must provide evidence to support the awarded mark. The best aspects of performance should be fi lmed, for example, a candidate achieving a mark in Level 5 will demonstrate a higher skill ability than a candidate achieving a mark in Level 3. Higher ability candidates are not required to demonstrate basic skills.
2 Performance. The conclusion of each assessment will be a game situation or evidence from a longer performance or routine or the full activity. For games, this may be a full game or a small-sided or conditioned game. The fi lming of evidence can be diffi cult in a large game, such as football or hockey. In such cases, the fi lming might need to be done from a closer position and each identifi ed candidate should be ‘tracked’ by the camera, ideally when they are near to the action in the game.
Accompanying notes should be provided, particularly when there is no verbal commentary. An accurate description of how well candidates are performing is helpful.
4.2.4 Candidate identifi cationIdentifi ers for candidates in the sample must be provided on the assessment forms for all activities. This is essential. Appropriate identifi cation allows candidates to be clearly and consistently identifi ed during performance of the activities. The External Moderator must be able to refer to the candidates’ identifi ers at all times.
Numbers or letters must be displayed on the front and back of shirts and be clearly visible in the fi lmed evidence, taking into account light and camera distance.
As an example, when fi lming a game of football, the following system may be used:
1 use two different bib colours that the candidates continue to wear throughout the game
2 candidates in the sample display numbers on the outside front and back
3 candidates not in the sample wear their bibs inside out to hide the number.
Where a candidate appears in fi lmed evidence for more than one activity, it is useful if they use the same candidate identifi er across all their physical activities.
On-screen captions can be helpful but only in addition to individual numbers or letters.
The identifi ed candidates should be tracked by the camera.
4.2.5 Common problems when fi lmingIt is important that all fi lmed evidence is checked to ensure that it is clear. Problems that frequently occur include the following.
• Sequences of fi lming the ground when the camera is inadvertently left recording without an operator.
• The camera pointing into bright sunlight from a dark gymnasium, making it impossible to identify candidates. Whenever possible try to fi lm in good natural light or with sunlight behind the camera. Some cameras automatically adjust to the light intensity but often take time to do so. Move the camera slowly from light to dark.
• Too much hand-shake when fi lming. The operator needs to hold the camera as steadily as possible when fi lming. Use of a tripod may be helpful.
• People talking behind the camera: pupil comments, background discussions, shouts of praise.
• Wind noise can make commentaries diffi cult to hear.

5.1 Submission to CambridgeFollow the processes for selecting and submitting coursework samples for moderation as detailed in the Cambridge Handbook.
For information, dates and methods of submission of the coursework marks and sample, please refer to the samples database at www.cie.org.uk/samples
5.2 Forms and written evidenceThe following documents should accompany the fi lmed evidence:
1 MS1 (or equivalent)
2 Coursework Assessment Summary Form
3 Order of Merit Form for each physical activity showing candidates’ marks in rank order for each activity. The sample of candidates shown in the fi lmed evidence should be identifi ed on the Order of Merit Form. The candidate identifi cation in the fi lmed evidence should match the identifi cation on the forms.
4 Any supporting evidence, e.g. route sheets for orienteering, competition results print-outs, etc.
5.3 Filmed evidenceIt is the responsibility of the Head of Physical Education or equivalent to ensure that the fi lmed evidence is as good as it possibly can be for moderation purposes.
Centres must check fi lmed evidence before despatch to ensure that the evidence is appropriate and suitable to support the marks awarded. Centres must keep a copy of all submitted evidence at the Centre.
5.4 Special arrangementsFor candidates who are unable to complete the full assessment of coursework or whose performance may be adversely affected through no fault of their own, you should consult the procedures which can be found in the Cambridge Handbook. You should apply for special arrangements in such cases as early as possible in the course. Centres are advised to retain fi lmed evidence of candidates’ assessments during the course of study in case of injury. All cases of special arrangements must be accompanied by full evidence, details of which can be found in the Cambridge Handbook.
5.5 AuthenticationAs with all coursework, you must be able to verify that the work submitted for assessment is the candidate’s own work.
Administration
14 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
5.6 Candidates with disabilitiesYou should not prevent any candidate from participating in the physical activities on the grounds of disability.
Within the range of physical activities offered, candidates with disabilities will be capable of achievement in the assessment objectives with or without adaptation in their chosen activities.
Where a candidate with a disability chooses an activity which needs adaptation to meet their needs, you must take steps to ensure that they are not penalised. In such instances, and before beginning to teach the course, you must inform Cambridge, indicating the nature of the candidate’s disability and suggesting ways in which the activity might be adapted. Cambridge will then consider the situation. See ‘Access arrangements’ in the Cambridge Handbook.

6 Marking criteria for physical activities
6.1 Games activitiesActivities in this section:
• association football
• badminton
• baseball, rounders or softball
• basketball
• cricket
• golf
• handball
• hockey
• lacrosse
• netball
• rugby league or rugby union
• squash
• table tennis
• tennis
• volleyball.
Candidates cannot enter more than one activity from baseball, rounders and softball and also may not enter for both rugby league and rugby union.
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance.
Candidates should:
• play the full recognised version of a competitive game demonstrating appropriately advanced techniques
• use strategies and tactics of competitive play and adapt these to the strengths and limitations of other players
• understand and apply the rules of the game including those governing specifi c competitions.
All activities in this section should be fi lmed in a way which allows moderators to see the appropriate aspects of performance. For details see the relevant section on fi lmed evidence in the individual criteria.
Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
16 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Association football Assessment requirements
• It is preferable for boys and girls to be assessed separately, e.g. boys against boys and girls against girls. When there is a limited number of girls or boys, mixed games must be conditioned.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 4 and 3 must demonstrate skills in conditioned games/drills and in a small-sided game.
• Level 5 and above must demonstrate skills in conditioned games/drills and in a school or club game, or in a game of an appropriate standard.
Goalkeeping skills should be mainly assessed in dynamic game situations, to demonstrate shot-stopping, ball-handling, positional play and distributing the ball.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the skills required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the result of a shot at goal or of a pass to a team mate.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so the bib numbers or letters of all candidates being assessed can be clearly viewed at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of other players, team mates creating opportunities and opposition restricting time and space.
Assessed skills
In association football, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations. It is also determined by the ability to perform attacking and defending skills in a game situation, particularly for higher ability candidates.
Skills and techniques

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
20 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
BadmintonAssessment requirements
• Candidates should be assessed in singles play only.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and/or in conditioned games/drills.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in conditioned games/drills and in game play.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. both the execution and the result of a smash or drop shot.
• The camera should be positioned at one end of the court so that both players and the outcome of their skills can be viewed at all times.
• Only one court, with two candidates playing singles, should be fi lmed at any one time.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of the opponent and the diffi culty of the shot or serve being received during rallies.
Assessed skills
In badminton, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in rallies and game situations.
Skills and techniques
Forehand: grip, overhead clear, underarm clear (lift), smash, drop shot, driveBackhand: grip, drop shot, driveServe: grip, long, short, fl ick (forehand and backhand)
Game skills
Variation of serve: low/high, short/long, receiving and returningPlacement and variation of shots: depth, direction, high, low, drop, cross court
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
24 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
BaseballThis activity must not be offered with rounders or softball.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate:
• Level 3 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation or in conditioned games/drills. Candidates’ ability as both batters and fi elders should be assessed.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in conditioned games and in game play. Candidates’ ability in all three roles in a game (batter, pitcher and fi elder) must be assessed.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the throw/strike and the fl ight of the ball.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so the bib numbers or letters of all candidates being assessed can be clearly viewed at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the speed of the ball in all aspects of the activity.
Assessed skills
In baseball, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations.
Skills and techniques
Batting: hit high and long and into spacePitchingFielding: catching and throwing hard and fl at to bases, backing up, backstop (if applicable)
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
33 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
SoftballThis activity must not be offered with baseball or rounders.
Assessment requirements
• Candidates should be assessed in batting, pitching and fi elding.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and/or in conditioned games/drills.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in games/drills and in game play.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the strike and the fl ight of the ball.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so the bib numbers or letters of all candidates being assessed can be clearly viewed at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the speed of the ball, the quality of the opposition and the diffi culty of the skills.
Assessed skills
In softball, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations.

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
40 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Cricket Assessment requirements
• Candidates should be assessed as either a batsman or bowler and in fi elding skills.
• Standard cricket match balls must be used.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
Candidates should only bat or bowl against a coach in isolated practices in order to demonstrate an isolated skill. If the ball is hand fed by a coach for batting assessment, the candidate cannot be assessed any higher than Level 3.
The use of a bowling machine is acceptable for a batsman to demonstrate a variety of shots. Machine speed should place a level of demand appropriate to the candidate. The machine should not always be set to deliver the same ball as this invalidates the shot selection process.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation in static and/or conditioned practices.
• Level 3 and above must demonstrate skills in dynamic conditioned practices and in nets practice.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the skills required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the result of a ball bowled at a batsman or of a throw to the wicket keeper or at the stumps.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so the bib numbers or letters of all candidates being assessed can be clearly viewed at all times.
• If a bowling machine is used, the fi lmed evidence must still include batting against the bowling of a variety of other candidates of a similar ability.
• A safe distance and ball awareness is required when fi lming.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of other players.
Assessed skills
In cricket, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in conditioned drills and game situations. The candidate’s initial mark will be based on their bowling or batting skills. The mark will then be increased or decreased depending on fi elding ability.

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
44 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Golf Assessment conditions
To ensure that candidates can fully demonstrate their ability, they should play and practise on a mixture of driving range / practice area / putting green and on holes at a golf course.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation at a driving range or practice area and putting green.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and in conditioned drills at a golf course.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills being used on holes at a golf course during some form of match play.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome, e.g. where the ball goes can be seen.
• Filming from behind the candidate followed by ‘zooming in’ on the outcome is most desirable.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the diffi culty of the shot being played and the course.
Assessed skills
In golf, the mark is determined by how well each skill is performed and their application in play. It is also determined by the ability to perform the same skills as appropriate to the demands of a golf course.
Skills and techniques
Approach play (pitching/sand/lob/gap wedges) and putting Driving/shots from the tee Long irons/hybrid/rescue clubs (selection from 1–5 iron)Short irons (selection from 6–9 iron)Note: Candidates can select which clubs they wish to use from the suggested selection range.
Characteristics of play on holes at a golf course
Appropriate shot selectionDriving, iron play, approach play and puttingPlaying to the demands of each golf hole Rhythm and technique of swing
Rules, regulations and safety
Candidates should understand suitable etiquette on a golf course.
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

HandballAssessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate:
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation or in simple conditioned games.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in a game situation.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the outcome of a pass or shot. Filming from behind and to the side, i.e. the back corner of the court, gives the best view.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so that the bib numbers or letters of all candidates being assessed can be clearly viewed at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of the opposition and the diffi culty of the skills being performed.
Assessed skills
In handball, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations.

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
52 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Hockey Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
More able candidates may work as an opponent/team mate in order to demonstrate the mark awarded. The Centre should indicate in a separate note when a candidate is assisting, rather than being assessed.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 must demonstrate skills in conditioned games drills and/or in a small-sided game.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in conditioned games drills and in a formal game of an appropriate standard.
Goalkeeping skills should be mainly assessed in dynamic game situations, to demonstrate shot stopping, positional play, diving and distribution.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the result of a shot at goal, or of a pass to a team mate.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so the bib numbers of all candidates being assessed can be clearly viewed at all times. An elevated platform would be the best position from which to fi lm.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of other players, with team mates creating opportunities and opposition restricting time and space.
Assessed skills
In hockey, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations.
Individual skills
Passing: grip, push, hit, drive, slap, fl ick, scoop, open and reverse stick Receiving: grip, open and reverse stick, from the front/left/right, static or on the moveTackling: open and reverse stick, block Dribbling/moving with the ball: open and reverse stick, Indian dribble, control, change of pace, beating an opponent of the reverse and open sideShooting: push, hit, drive, placement/accuracy, powerGoalkeeping: use of gloves/pads/body/stick, diving, spreading, kicking, positional play, communication, distribution
Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
53 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Game skills
Attacking play: mobility and penetration, retaining possession, creating space to receive a pass or to shoot.Defensive play: marking and/or delaying an opponent, timing of a tackle, covering to give depth to the defence, positional play, one-to-one markingSet pieces: penalty corner, long corner, free hits, hit or push in, penalty strokes
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
57 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
LacrosseAssessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and/or in conditioned games/drills.
• Level 4 and above must show skills in conditioned games/drills and in game play.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome, e.g. outcome of a pass, can be seen.
• Filming from behind and to the side of the pitch gives the best view.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential so that the bib numbers or letters of all candidates being assessed are clearly visible at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of the opposition and diffi culty of the skills.
Assessed skills
In lacrosse, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations.
Skills and techniques
Passing and receiving (catching)ScoopingRunning with the ball: cradling, dodgingShooting Tackling/checking
Game skills
Attacking play: keeping possession with the ball, including circling from the defender, attacking positioning, including maintaining space in a 2-3-1 offensive formationDefensive play: defensive systems including man-to-man, tackling and checking to intercept
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

NetballAssessment requirements
Boys and girls must be assessed separately, i.e. boys against boys and girls against girls. When there is a limited number of girls or boys, mixed games must be conditioned.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and in conditioned games/drills.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in more dynamic conditioned games/drills and in game play.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the result of a pass to a team mate or of a shot at the ring.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so that the bib numbers or letters of all candidates being assessed can be clearly viewed at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of the opposition and the diffi culty of the skills.
Assessed skills
In netball, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations. Some skills are generic to all netball players, whatever their position. Other skills can be much more specifi c to a particular position in a match. The Centre should therefore apply position-specifi c weighting when assessing the fi nal mark for each candidate. For example, a goal attack will be expected to have strong passing and shooting skills, whereas a goal defence will be expected to be more effective at marking, blocking and interceptions.

Rugby leagueThis activity must not be offered with rugby union.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
More able candidates may work as an opponent / team mate in order to demonstrate the awarded mark. You should indicate in a separate note when a candidate is assisting, rather than being assessed.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Levels 3 and 4 must demonstrate skills in dynamic drills, and in a small-sided game.
• Level 5 and above must demonstrate skills in dynamic drills and in a school or club match or in a game of an appropriate standard.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the result of a pass to a team mate.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so the bib/shirt numbers or letters of all the candidates and the context of the game can be viewed at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Numbered team rugby jerseys are suitable.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of team mates and the opposition and the diffi culty of the skills being performed.
Assessed skills
In rugby league, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations.
There is no requirement for individually assessed skills in kicking, scrummaging and line out play during isolated skill practices or conditioned games, but they can be assessed during game play.

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
68 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Rugby unionThis activity must not be offered with rugby league.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
More able candidates may work as an opponent / team mate in order to demonstrate the awarded mark. You should indicate in a separate note when a candidate is assisting, rather than being assessed.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability/level of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Levels 3 and 4 must demonstrate skills in dynamic drills, and in a small-sided game.
• Level 5 and above must demonstrate skills in dynamic drills and in a school or club match or in a game of an appropriate standard.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the result of a pass to a team mate.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so the bib/shirt numbers or letters of all the candidates and the context of the game can be viewed at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written onto the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Numbered team rugby jerseys are suitable.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of team mates and the opposition and the diffi culty of the skills being performed.
Assessed skills
In rugby union, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations.
There is no requirement for individually assessed skills in kicking, scrummaging and line out play during isolated skill practices or conditioned games, but they can be assessed during game play.
Skills and techniques

Table tennisAssessment requirements
• Candidates should be assessed in singles play only.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability/level of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and/or in conditioned games/drills.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in conditioned games/drills and in competitive games.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. ball placement on the table.
• Filming from the front and to the side gives the best view.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of the opponent and diffi culty of the shot being received during rallies.

Marking criteria for physical activities Games activities
84 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
VolleyballAssessment conditions
Candidates should play and practise against players of a similar ability.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and/or in conditioned games.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in conditioned games/drills and in competitive games.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate. Skills like the volley and dig should be demonstrated in a dynamic continuous situation.
• It is important that both the skill and the outcome can be seen, e.g. the outcome of a volley.
• Filming from an appropriate distance is essential, so the bib numbers or letters of all candidates being assessed can be clearly viewed at all times.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of the opposition and the diffi culty of the skills.
Assessed skills
In volleyball, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in game situations.
Skills and techniques
Serve DigVolleySmash/spike
Game skills
Attacking play:Three-touch rallySetting from a variety of positions
Defending play:Digging in defenceAnticipation
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Marking criteria for physical activities Gymnastic activities
88 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
6.2 Gymnastic activitiesActivities in this section:
• artistic gymnastics or rhythmic gymnastics
• individual fi gure skating
• trampolining.
Candidates cannot enter for both artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics.
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance.
Candidates should:
• compose and perform routines involving appropriately advanced and technically demanding skills
• perform a range of techniques showing understanding of body form, fl uency and accuracy in execution of elements within the performance
• understand and apply the principles, rules and criteria for performance in the activity.
All activities in this section should be fi lmed in a way which allows moderators to see the full routine and isolated skills as appropriate and enables moderators to see the relevant skills (height, landings, movement, body form, etc.). For details see the relevant section on fi lmed evidence in the individual activities.

Assessment requirements
• Candidates must be assessed completing a routine in either one or two disciplines as specifi ed below.

• Level 3 should demonstrate skills in an individual fl oor routine and one vault.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in an individual fl oor routine, a second discipline and one vault.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• The whole routine should be fi lmed so that the gymnast and the mat area are in view.
Identifi cation

Marking criteria for physical activities Gymnastic activities
98 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Individual fi gure skatingAssessment requirements
• Candidates must be assessed as individual skaters.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and/or in a routine.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills within a continuous routine/dance and choreograph their own routine.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• Candidates should be fi lmed showing isolated skills and a routine set to music.
• It is important that both the skill and context (movement around the rink) can be observed.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using distinctive costume with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. This information can also be displayed as a caption on the fi lm or as a verbal commentary. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the execution of the skills and the diffi culty tariff of the skills and the way they are linked together in a routine/dance.
Assessed skills
In fi gure skating, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in a routine/dance. Figure skating is partly judged on the diffi culty of a skill. It is also judged on the quality of the execution to include body tension, balance and fl ow.
Skills and techniques
Skating forwards and backwards on two skates and single skateAlternating between forward and backward facingCrossovers, curves using both edgesTurns to include three turns, twizzles, mohawks/choctawsSpiralsSpins JumpsLandings

Marking criteria for physical activities Gymnastic activities
102 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
TrampoliningAssessment requirements
• Candidates must be assessed completing either one or two 10-bounce routines.
• Candidates must complete individual routines.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation only or in a routine.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and/or in a routine.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate advanced skills in isolation and in two routines.
Evidence• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will
result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• Filming needs to take place from an angle that allows the candidate’s skills, travel and height from the bed to be seen.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using distinctive coloured leotard/clothing with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. This information can also be displayed as a caption on the fi lm or as a verbal commentary. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the execution of the skills and the tariff diffi culty of the routine(s).
Assessed skills
Skills are given diffi culty tariffs and this will help determine the mark. However, skills are also assessed as to their accuracy of execution and body shape. Trampolining is also assessed on form, consistency of height, amount of travel and control.
Skills and techniques
Basic skills (to be shown in isolation)
Shapes: pike, straddle, tuckDrops: back, seat, frontTwists: half, full Combined movements: swivel hips, half twist in/out of front and back landingRotational movements: seat drop to front drop, back drop to front drop (combined with twists, e.g. cradle), turnovers

Marking criteria for physical activities Gymnastic activities
103 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Routine
Depending on their level, candidates should perform one or two routines. Movement skills should be selected from above, linked together as 10-bounce routines. The routine(s) performed by candidates should show the full range of skills of the candidates and contain a mixture of basic and advanced skills as appropriate to enable the candidate to access the mark of which they are capable.
The following two routines are given as an indication of diffi culty (tariff). Consideration will be made to height from the bed, transitions between moves, tariff diffi culty and travel.
Suggested routine for a moderate ability candidate (Level 3 and below):
1 seat drop
2 half twist to seat drop
3 half twist to feet
4 half twist jump
5 tuck jump
6 front drop
7 to feet
8 straddle jump
9 back drop
10 to feet
Suggested routine for a high ability candidate (Level 4 and above):
1 back somersault (tucked or straight)
2 straddle jump
3 seat drop
4 half twist to seat drop
5 half twist to feet
6 pike jump
7 back drop
8 half twist to feet
9 tuck jump
10 front somersault (tucked)
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Safety
Trampolining is considered to be an activity which presents higher risks. Supervising staff must have the necessary expertise to ensure that this activity is carried out safely. Candidates must have appropriate ability and experience in order to be safe and confi dent. Candidates must not attempt skills that are beyond their ability.

Marking criteria for physical activities Dance
106 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
6.3 Dance• Candidates may enter only one dance.
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance. Candidates must be assessed as individual dancers.
Candidates should:
• choreograph and perform routines involving appropriately advanced and technically demanding dances that successfully communicate the artistic intention
• demonstrate a range of techniques showing understanding of body form, fl uency, use of space and musicality
• understand and apply the principles, rules and criteria for performance in the dance.
All dances should be fi lmed in a way which allows moderators to see the full routine.
Marking criteria for physical activities Dance
107 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
DanceAssessment requirements
• Candidates can choose the dance genre. It must be an artistic interpretation of a stimulus (usually music but it could be a poem or other stimulus).
• The dance should be approximately 2 minutes’ duration.
• Candidates must be assessed as individual dancers.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 3 and below may need to dance with others.
• Level 4 and above must perform the dance on their own except where the dance expressly requires a partner, e.g. ballroom.
• Level 4 and above must choreograph their own dance.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• Filmed evidence should include the whole dance with sound.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using distinctive clothing or a sash with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
When selecting a dance, remember that some dances / dance styles create a higher level of demand than others, meet the criteria much more easily, and provide greater potential. Dances should demonstrate candidates’ abilities to be dynamic, use space, change levels, link movements, show body shape, tension and have a general fl ow. In Level 4 and above candidates are required to compose/choreograph the dance (which excludes direct repetition of a set dance and whole-school performances). Dances should demonstrate the candidate’s ability to interpret the stimulus (usually music).
Some traditional/historical dance styles can be repetitive and static, which makes them diffi cult to compare with very dynamic and complex dances and award a similar mark.
Dance teaching
Candidates should be taught dance so that dance techniques can be developed, demonstrated and assessed. Dances should not be a candidate’s interpretation of what they have seen on a music video. Candidates in these circumstances rarely produce performances that can be awarded high marks.
Assessed skills
In dance, the mark is determined by the performance of the whole dance and the interpretation to music. Expected skills will vary between different genres.
Marking criteria for physical activities Dance
108 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
All dances will show movements that will be judged by the assessment of:
Physical aspects
Body tension in both the core and the limbsBody extensionBalanceFlexibilityShaping
Link elements
Fluidity, rhythm, fl ow, coordination, variation in speed
Dance content
Originality, composition, musicality (artistic interpretation)Elements that defi ne the dance genre and typeUnderstanding of any constraints/regulations if applicable
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Marking criteria for physical activities Athletic activities
112 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
6.4 Athletic activitiesActivities in this section:
• cross-country running
• cycling
• rowing and sculling
• track and fi eld athletics
• weight training for fi tness.
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance.
Candidates should:
• perform in selected events showing good form and technique
• where appropriate apply the strategies and tactics in their chosen events
• understand and apply the principles, rules and criteria for performance in the activity.
All activities in this section should be fi lmed in a way which allows moderators to see the appropriate aspects of performance. For details see the relevant section on fi lmed evidence in the individual physical activities.
There are specifi c order of merit forms to record performance in the following activities:
• cross-country running
• cycling
• track and fi eld athletics.
There is an additional form to record evidence in the following activity:
• weight training for fi tness.
These can be found on the samples database at www.cie.org.uk/samples
Marking criteria for physical activities Athletic activities
113 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Cross-country runningAssessment requirements
Girls should run a distance of 3000 metres.
Boys should run a distance of 4000 metres.
The course should be predominantly a grass course in open terrain with some inclines/undulations. It should not include any roads (unless they are being crossed) or artifi cial surfaces. Flat track running is not permitted.
The overall increase in height of the course distance should be a minimum of 15 metres for girls and 20 metres for boys, which can be split into any number of separate inclines, e.g. 3 × 5 metres for girls and 4 × 5 metres for boys. Multiple laps of, for example, 1000 metres would be acceptable.
Evidence
• Centres should submit the time for all the candidates, the course map and the total increase in height for each course. The course map should have a scale and indicate the number of laps run, the type of terrain, any signifi cant inclines, and any water courses or obstacles that have to be negotiated.
• Filmed evidence for this activity must include candidates running up an incline and on open terrain.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Assessment
In cross-country running, the time achieved by the candidate is converted to a mark out of 25 using the cross-country performance table.
A teacher/adult must time the candidates.
Marks should be entered on the Cross-Country Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

CyclingAssessment requirements
• Candidates must cycle for either 10 miles or 15 kilometres.
Evidence
• A map with a scale that clearly indicates the distance and the course used by each candidate must be submitted by the Centre.
• Filmed evidence should include part of the assessment (preferably from a following vehicle).
• Close-up shots of the stopwatch should be submitted to confi rm results for the sample candidates.
• A camera worn by the candidate is not acceptable as fi lmed evidence for cycling.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation. The use of offi cial race identifi ers is permitted.
Assessment
In cycling, the time achieved by the candidate for either 10 miles or 15 kilometres is converted to a mark out of 25 using the cycling performance tables.
A teacher/adult must time the candidates.
Marks should be entered on the Cycling Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Safety
There are safety advantages if the assessment takes place during an offi cial event/competition. Offi cial events ensure marshalling and a safe environment for candidates. Candidates trying to achieve good times might disregard traffi c and road conditions if being assessed outside a marshalled event. Centres have the responsibility to ensure the safety of candidates.

Rowing and scullingAssessment requirements
• Candidates must be assessed in single sculls or rowing pairs.
Assessment conditions
• Candidates should be assessed by demonstrating isolated components of the whole action and rowing skill. Candidates should also be assessed while rowing continuously over a single distance.
Evidence
• Candidates should be fi lmed so that the rowing action and the run of the whole boat through the water can be seen.
• Filming from a support boat can be very effective. Cameras mounted on the side of the boat will give evidence of the rowing action if mounted from the side but will not show balance and run of the boat.
Identifi cation
Candidates can be identifi ed verbally or by caption and by position (stroke or bow) at the start of the fi lmed evidence with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Assessed skills
Phases of rowing stroke: catch, draw, swing, fi nish, slide control (demonstrated through back stops, quarter and half slide, and square blade rowing; slide control demonstrated by slow rating)
Boat control: balance, timing (if in a pair), rating control (demonstrated through rowing single strokes to ‘hands away’ and changes in rating)
Race skills: starts, rating control and changes
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Timing and measuring
All times in the 100, 200, 300 metres and hurdles events should be rounded up or down to the nearest one tenth of a second. Times in all other track events should be rounded up or down to the nearest whole second. For both the 100 m, 200 m and hurdles track events, this applies to the total time of their two best times for the event.
A teacher/adult must time or measure the candidates.

Marking criteria for physical activities Athletic activities
123 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Weight training for fi tnessAssessment requirements
• Candidates are assessed on their ability to design and implement a weight-training programme to improve their performance in a chosen activity.
• The activity is restricted to weight training and does not include other aspects of fi tness.
• Weight training can use free weights and/or fi xed weight machines (multi-gyms) or resistance machines, e.g. isokinetic, hydraulic resistance. Equipment used must be for weight training (this excludes gym equipment which is aimed at cardiovascular improvement or exercises using the body weight as the resistance).
• This activity is not weight lifting or power lifting and so skills such as ‘clean’, ‘clean and jerk’, and ‘dead lift’ are not assessed.
Assessment conditions
Candidates must set out a programme describing:
• the perceived improvements in the selected activity that will be realised by the training
• the type of muscular fi tness the programme is designed to improve
• the candidate’s body mass and/or 1 RM*
• the type of resistance that will be used
• an initial programme of weight, rep and set
Candidates will also.
• record the programme and changes to ensure progression as appropriate.
• verbally explain the purpose of each exercise and the programme as a whole.
*Teenage candidates are advised not to use maximal weights.
Evidence
• Candidates must be fi lmed participating so that the movement and the weight (resistance) can be seen.
• Captions or a verbal declaration of the weight should also be on the fi lm.
• Candidates should be fi lmed giving a brief verbal explanation of the exercise.
• Candidates must submit a weight training log of their programme using the specifi c form available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the demand of the programme: the number of exercises and also the weight used (as a percentage of body weight or 1 RM). Weights must refl ect the purpose and be appropriate. Weights that are too light or not calculated in line with the aims of the programme do not provide correct levels of demand. Each programme should be designed for the individual candidate.
Marking criteria for physical activities Athletic activities
124 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Assessed skills
Weight training exercises which provide a general development of the whole body.
Exercises which develop legs, abdomen, shoulders and arms.
Specifi c exercises which target the declared goals.
Skills and techniques
Correct body position/movementsFull range of movementUse of appropriate weights
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Safety
Safe practice is essential to participation. This includes warm-up, use of safety equipment, appropriate weights, ‘spotters’ and correct technique.

Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
128 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
6.5 Outdoor and adventurous activitiesActivities in this section:
• canoeing
• hill walking or orienteering
• horse riding
• mountain biking
• rock climbing
• sailing
• skiing or snowboarding
• windsurfi ng.
Candidates cannot enter for both hill walking and orienteering and also may not enter for both skiing and snowboarding.
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance.
Candidates should:
• perform in selected events showing appropriately advanced techniques and the safety procedures appropriate to the activity undertaken
• be aware of and respond to changing situations and environmental conditions
• understand and apply the appropriate health and safety rules and the rules and conventions in the activity.
Some activities in this syllabus have a higher level of risk. The Centre is responsible for the safety of candidates and must ensure that candidates have the knowledge, physical fi tness and skill to undertake the chosen activity. Where applicable the routes and conditions under which the activity takes place should be considered carefully before the activities take place.
All activities in this section should be fi lmed in a way which allows moderators to see the appropriate aspects of performance. For details see the relevant section on fi lmed evidence in the individual activities.
There is an additional form to record evidence in the following activity:
• hill walking.
This can be found on the samples database at www.cie.org.uk/samples

CanoeingAssessment requirements
• Canoeing is restricted to any type of canoe that can be fi tted with a spray deck. Open canoes and canoes on which the paddler sits on top of the canoe are not accepted for assessment. Racing kayaks are also much less suitable as manoeuvring and off balance skills are more diffi cult to perform.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability/level of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may demonstrate skills in a swimming pool.
• Level 3 must demonstrate skills on open still water.
• Level 4 must show skills on moving water.
• Level 5 and above must show skills on moving water at Grade 2 or above except for rescues, which must be on open still water.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate. If you are unsure which condition is most appropriate, the more diffi cult conditions should be used for assessment.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written onto the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the diffi culty of the water conditions and the diffi culty of the skills demonstrated.
Assessed skills
In canoeing, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and linked skills that react to the water conditions.
Individual skills
Knowledge of activity including equipment and safety considerationsLaunching/entering the canoePaddling forwards and backwardsMaintaining balance and directional stabilityStoppingTurning using sweep strokes, stern rudder, low brace and high brace, bow rudderDraw strokes (sculling and T)J strokeSupport strokes (sculling and slap)CapsizeRescue techniques: T, X and HMoving water techniques, ferry glide and cutting in and out
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Safety
Canoeing is considered to be an activity which presents higher risks. Supervising staff must have the necessary expertise to ensure that this activity is carried out safely. Candidates must have proven water profi ciency in order to be safe and confi dent. Candidates must not attempt water conditions that are beyond their ability.

Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
132 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Hill walkingThis activity must not be offered with orienteering.
Assessment requirements
• Hill walking is assessed under conditions that are different from other activities. Candidates complete the activity as a group but they must be assessed as individuals.
• All candidates must complete the expedition distance of 40 to 45 kilometres. Assessment is based on the completion of the required skills before and during the expedition.
• Candidates should spend two nights camping (the fi rst night before the start and the second night during the expedition) and complete the expedition over two days.
• The expedition must take place in hilly (but not mountainous) country with routes along footpaths and open country. Roads must not be used (they may need to be crossed). The route should be divided (by naturally occurring points) into short legs.
• The expedition environment must require candidates to use navigational skills including map work, compass work and feature recognition. This means that sometimes a ‘clear sight’ of destinations should be hidden and decision-making at crossing points and best route selection dilemmas should be created by the route and environment.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may demonstrate skills in a classroom environment but must complete the expedition as part of a group.
• Level 3 must demonstrate navigational skills in open countryside.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in open countryside and complete an assessment in an ‘unforeseen situation’.
Candidates must be assessed on their ability to demonstrate skills as individuals and as group leader in an environment which is unfamiliar. Training and practice cannot take place in the same area as the assessment.
Where possible, candidates should complete the expedition in groups of four. Where numbers do not allow equal groups then a group of fi ve is permitted. Centres may need to use non-IGCSE students to facilitate expedition group size.
Groups should plan routes so that they are not following each other. Where this proves diffi cult, groups should be at least 30 minutes apart.
Candidates must carry all the equipment required (in a packed rucksack) so that they are self-suffi cient as a group.
Evidence
• Evidence must be personal to each candidate (route maps will be common to each group but each candidate must plan the route).
• Evidence must include:
– map (one map of the area is suffi cient as long as each candidate has a photocopy of their route)
– expedition log:personal copy of the route, individual candidate route sheet specifying legs as leader, (available from www.cie.org.uk/samples), a brief account of their training and expedition experience, packing and menu lists.
– assessor notes on candidate performance and reasons for awarding individual marks.
Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
133 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Filmed evidence
• Filmed evidence should also include an interview with the sample candidates while on the expedition.
• Skills in an ‘unforeseen situation’ may need to be fi lmed as a group or can follow the individual interview method. In situations that require group responses, the group leader (person being assessed) should be identifi ed.
• Filming should include evidence of packing a rucksack, correct clothing, navigation and map-reading skills and situation skills.
Identifi cation
Candidates can be identifi ed by distinguishing clothes or similar, with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation. Candidates should also be introduced verbally at the start of their interview.
Supervision and adult involvement
Contact with groups should be kept to the minimum safe level. Ideally contact should only be at predetermined assessment points. However, some environments present dangers, especially from wild animals, which require an adult to be with the group. Where this is necessary, the ideal situation is that the candidate group size remains as four, the adult takes a position at the rear, and the adult takes a role which does not prevent candidates from demonstrating their skills. The adult should allow the group to make mistakes (within safety considerations). The adult may or may not be the assessor. If they are assessing the candidates, they should assume this role only at predetermined assessment points.
Level of demand
This is set by the diffi culty of the environment and the diffi culty of the skills demonstrated.
Organisation
Selecting suitable routes takes considerable planning by Centres. Routes should be demanding but risk assessed. Groups should follow different routes. All the groups can share a common campsite each night. If routes cross, this gives opportunities for supervision and assessment. A series of minibus drop-offs might give fl exibility.
Setting group tasks along the way (e.g. collecting an object, copying down the words on a notice, taking a bearing) can be a benefi cial way to assist organisation. Different bearings from one point could be taken by different members of the group and recorded in their individual expedition logs.
Assessed skills
In hill walking, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application while completing an expedition.
Individual skills
Planning an expedition through unfamiliar rural environmentsPreparing equipment and clothingUsing a map and compass to plan and navigateKnowing grid/magnetic/true north, map orientation, grid references, feature and symbol recognition, bearingsUsing environment features to navigate Reacting appropriately to unforeseen situations
Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
134 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Unforeseen situations
Unforeseen situations must be used to assess the ability of candidates to deal with a situation which they do not expect. These are planned by the Centre and presented to candidates without their prior knowledge as situations on the expedition. These situations must be fi lmed and Centres must indicate who is the group leader (person being assessed). This identifi cation can be in the notes or on the fi lm.
The same situation can be presented to more than one candidate in the same group if candidates cannot overhear or confer. Alternatively, a different situation can be used with each candidate.
Centres can choose from any of the example situations below or devise their own situations.
Situation 1
Group is lost. Using recognisable features their position is triangulated (back bearing) and then a safe route to a safe point planned (suitable for Level 5 candidates only).
Situation 2
Group member has an injury which prevents further participation. Appropriate action required. (Note that no assessment is made of fi rst aid action.)
Situation 3
Low visibility requires walking on a bearing as a group.
Situation 4
Problem on the route ahead requires a detour to be planned.
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Safety
Hill walking is considered to be an activity which presents higher risks. This risk can vary depending on the level of supervision. However, the ‘spirit’ of the activity is to assess candidates’ ability to be self-suffi cient and this requires independent participation. Centres must ensure that candidates are correctly prepared.
This must include:
• use of appropriate clothing and equipment
• teaching and training of skills and awareness
• teaching of basic fi rst aid (which is not assessed but is essential for participation)
• adequate fi tness levels of all participants.
Teachers must be familiar with the area in which practice and assessed expeditions are to take place.

Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
138 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
OrienteeringThis activity must not be offered with hill walking.
Assessment requirements
• Candidates must complete an unknown course as an individual.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate:
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills on a course described as Orange on the British Orienteering (BOF) classifi cation.
• Level 3 must demonstrate skills on a course described as Light Green on the BOF classifi cation.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills on a course described as Green on the BOF classifi cation.
Evidence
• Evidence must include:
– an explanation of course diffi culty
– control cards
– map of the course
– total length of the course (in km) and the time.
Filmed evidence
• The fi lmed evidence is a short, fi lmed interview in the fi eld. It should focus on at least two occasions and record the following skills:
– using a compass to check bearing
– orientation of map
– identifi cation of features
– selecting ‘attack points’
– ability to calculate distance
– ability to ‘pace’ to know distance.
• The fi lming of evidence should not assist candidates in locating control points.
• The time the interview takes should be subtracted from the candidate’s total time.
Identifi cation
Candidates can be identifi ed by distinguishing clothes or similar, with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation. Candidates should also be introduced verbally at the start of their interview.
Level of demand
This is set by the diffi culty of the course:
• diffi culty of the terrain
• number of control points/length of the course
• accessibility/disguise of control points
Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
139 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
• type and diffi culty of obstacles, e.g. forest, river, terrain, gates, fences
• layout of control points and range of choice on routes between – a simple circular course with only single routes between control points is easier than a course where the route crosses, there is a choice of routes or an obstacle that needs circumventing.
Orienteering maps are at a scale of some detail (often 1:10 000).
Target times
All courses should have a target time. It is not possible to give a guide to target times due to differences in course diffi culty and length. However, a course should have target times which refl ect the length of the course and diffi culty of control point location. It would be expected that candidates awarded higher marks will have completed diffi cult courses with higher target times. Centres will need to judge whether less able candidates follow the same course as more able candidates and complete a diffi cult course less successfully and in a longer time, or complete an easier course. If you are unsure which condition is most appropriate, the more diffi cult conditions should be used for assessment.
Characteristics of courses
Green:
4–5 km longFrequent crossing of routesControl points not obvious and away from routesAttack points away from distinct features therefore requiring either contour reading or pacing or bothLeg length and obstacles/terrain require route choice decisions15–20 control points
Light Green:
3–4 km longCourse will cross occasionallyControl points away from routesSome attack points away from distinct features therefore requiring either contour reading or pacingLegs of different distances and some route choices required10–12 control points
Orange:
2.5–3 km longCircular courseControl points close to routes and near distinct featuresAny attack points at distinct features8–10 control points
Assessed skills
In orienteering, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application while completing an unknown course.
Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
140 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Skills and techniques
Measuring:
Transferring distances from a map scale to actual ground distanceUsing pace counts to measure ground distanceUsing running time to measure distance
Feature recognition:
Recognise features on the map and on the course features to aid navigation. To include paths, tracks, roads, streams, crossing points, ditches, fences, walls, buildings, open ground (and the condition, e.g. marsh, wooded areas, steep slopes (gradient)).
Map and compass:
Identify location, control points and featuresOrientate map to north and direction of travel using compass and features both at the start and during the courseCalculate a bearing using both compass and featuresIdentify hand rails and attack points on the map and on the ground
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
144 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Horse ridingAssessment requirements
Candidates are assessed on horsemanship, control of the animal and jumping. Cross-country and dressage are not assessed.
Care of the animal does not form part of the assessment.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability/level of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation without jumping.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation. They should perform 6 simple jumps at a minimum height of 2 ft (61 cm).
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate advanced skills on a jump course of 8 to 10 jumps at a minimum height of 3 ft (90 cm).
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• It is important that the skill can be seen, including the horse, rider and jump as appropriate. Filming from behind and to the side (the back corner of the riding arena) gives the best view.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand

Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
148 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Mountain bikingAssessment requirements
• Candidates should be assessed on suitable riding trails.
• Trail classifi cations vary from country to country. UK trails use the following ratings: Green (easy), Blue (more diffi cult), Red (diffi cult), Black Diamond (very diffi cult), Orange (extremely diffi cult).
• Every effort should be taken to make use of trails which have an offi cial classifi cation.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability/level of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation only or on a trail of Green standard.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation only and on a trail of Blue standard.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills in isolation and on a trail of Red standard.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• Candidates should be fi lmed demonstrating isolated skills and completing one downhill trail, as appropriate to their level.
• Filming needs to take place from an angle that allows the candidate’s skills to be seen. Evidence of the rating classifi cation of the downhill trail should be included in the fi lming. Filming of the trail itself can be carried out using a head cam or a similar. Another rider can wear the head cam and follow the candidate to be fi lmed or fi lming can take place at strategic points to demonstrate the rider’s ability.
Identifi cation
Numbered bibs do not need to be worn but the candidate should wear a colour which is easily identifi able on fi lm. If the candidate is wearing identifi cation supplied in an offi cial competition this is acceptable. Identifi ers should be written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the rating diffi culty of the trail and the diffi culty of the demonstrated skills.
Characteristics of trails:
Red:
Any usable trail with pushing or portage unlikely to exceed 2% of total distanceA wide range of climbs and descents of a challenging natureWidths from 1 m and any usable surface, includes single track and other technical sections, some sections have very narrow tracksLoose surfaces, ruts, potholes and/or tree roots may be expected, limited rock negotiation, shallow drop offs and other obstaclesMaximum climb is less than 500 m
Blue:
Bridleways, byways and unsurfaced unclassifi ed roadsShallow/moderate climbs, short sections of steeper climbs which may have to be walkedMostly stoned surfaces (less than 10% is earth based); single track with a width less than 2 mSome loose surfaces, ruts, potholes and/or tree roots may be expectedMaximum climb is less than 100 m
Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
149 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Green:
Rail trails, towpaths, reservoir trails, estate or forestry tracksShallow climbs and descentsCompacted limestone or gravel; essentially smooth with a minimum content of loose surfaces; normal width is 2 to 3 mMaximum climb is less than 50 m
Assessed skills
In mountain biking, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills. It is also determined by the ability to perform one downhill trail.
Basic skills to be shown in isolation:
Body position when descending on different gradients and performing specifi c skillsBody position to ride rough groundCornering/changing directionRiding uphill
Advanced skills
Bunny hops/bike liftsNegotiating obstaclesNegotiating single steps or drop offsNarrow track ridingSteep descents
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Safety
Mountain biking is considered to be an activity which presents higher risks. Supervising staff must have the necessary expertise to ensure that this activity is carried out safely. Candidates must have appropriate ability and experience in order to be safe and confi dent. Candidates must not attempt trail classifi cations or skills that are beyond their ability.

Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
152 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Rock climbingAssessment requirements
• Assessment can only take place in the natural outdoor environment. Assessment on indoor or artifi cial climbing walls is not acceptable.
Assessment conditions
Assessment should take place on single pitch graded climbs of at least 10 m. Centres should use the French Grading System (if Centres use an alternative grading system the comparability with the French Grading System must be explained).
Candidates should not act as a lead climber and should be top roped.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills on a lower ability climb and for less than the prescribed distance.
• Level 3 must demonstrate skills on a climb of a diffi culty of 4 or above.
• Level 4 must demonstrate skills on a climb of a diffi culty of 4b or above.
• Level 5 must demonstrate skills on a climb of a diffi culty of 5 or above.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• Candidates should be fi lmed performing skills as they climb the rock face. It is important that both the skills of the candidate and the diffi culty of the climb can be seen.
• The skill elements can be fi lmed at a low height where the demand of the skill is determined by the diffi culty of the rock face and not the element of risk that is associated with height or exposure.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the diffi culty of the climb and the diffi culty of the demonstrated skills.
Assessed skills
In rock climbing, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application on a climb.
Skills and techniques
Moving with agility and balanceWeight transfer and controlMaintaining correct contact with rock and body position to maximise control/grip/balanceTraversingJammingBridge laying
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Safety
Rock climbing is considered to be an activity which presents higher risks. Supervising staff must have the necessary expertise to ensure that this activity is carried out safely. Candidates must have appropriate ability and experience in order to be safe and confi dent. Candidates must not attempt rock conditions or climbs that are beyond their ability.
Candidates must only climb in safe conditions where they are top roped (from above or by belaying from below with rope running through a top fi xed point).

Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
156 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
SailingAssessment requirements
• Candidates are assessed on their ability to helm a sailing dinghy. This may be as an individual sailor (in a single-sail boat) or with one crew (in a two-sail mainsail and jib boat).
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to be assessed in very light wind conditions; they may be assessed as crew only at 5 knots.
• Level 3 may need to be assessed in wind conditions of at least 5 knots.
• Level 4 and above need to be assessed in wind conditions of at least 10 knots.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• Evidence of rigging and launching the boat should be kept to a minimum. Good fi lmed evidence provides this footage at a much faster speed than normal play.
• Candidates should be fi lmed showing isolated skills and sailing a course where the three points of sail are demonstrated.
• A support vessel is the best place from which to fi lm, because the camera is close enough to fi lm in suffi cient detail.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the diffi culty of the wind and water conditions.
Assessed skills
In sailing, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application when sailing a course.
Skills and techniques
Rigging and launching a boatPoints of sail: close haul (into the wind); reaching (wind on the beam); running (wind on the stern)Changing direction (tacking and gybing)Capsize deliberately and re-right boat and enter from the water
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Safety
Sailing is considered to be an activity which presents higher risks. Supervising staff must have the necessary expertise to ensure that this activity is carried out safely. Candidates must have proven water profi ciency in order to be safe and confi dent. Candidates must not attempt water/wind conditions that are beyond their ability.

Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
168 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Windsurfi ngAssessment requirements
• Candidates should be assessed on boards that will enable uphaul to be completed.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to be assessed in very light wind conditions and with a ‘training sail’.
• Level 3 may need to be assessed in wind conditions of at least 5 knots and a ‘training sail’ may be required.
• Level 4 and above need to be assessed in wind conditions of at least 10 knots and sail a course to show different points of sail.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• Evidence of rigging the board should be kept to a minimum. Good fi lmed evidence provides this footage at a much faster speed than normal play.
• Candidates should be fi lmed performing isolated skills and sailing a course where the three points of sail are demonstrated.
• A support vessel is the best place from which to fi lm, because the camera is close enough to fi lm in suffi cient detail.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed using numbered or lettered bibs (front and back) with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the diffi culty of the wind and water conditions.
Assessed skills
In windsurfi ng, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills in appropriate wind/water conditions and their application when sailing a course.
Skills and techniques
Rigging a boardStarts: uphaul and beach/jettySailing on different points to emphasise sail set, dagger board use, balance and trimClose haul (into the wind); reaching (wind on the beam); running (wind on the stern)
Changing direction
Tacking, moving around the front of the mastGybing, sail moves around front of mast
Marking criteria for physical activities Outdoor and adventurous activities
169 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Performance of skills
Balance: personal balance on the board and balance of the board in the waterBody positionSmooth sail changesAccuracy of direction stability, rounding marker buoys, course changes made good
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Safety
Windsurfi ng is considered to be an activity which presents higher risks. Supervising staff must have the necessary expertise to ensure that this activity is carried out safely. Candidates must have proven water profi ciency in order to be safe and confi dent. Candidates must not attempt water conditions that are beyond their ability.

Marking criteria for physical activities Swimming activities
172 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
6.6 Swimming activitiesActivities in this section:
• competitive swimming
• life saving or personal survival
• water polo.
Candidates cannot enter for both life saving and personal survival.
All activities in this section should be fi lmed in a way which will allow moderators to see the appropriate aspects of performance. For details see the relevant section on fi lmed evidence in the individual activities.
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance.
Candidates should:
• perform in selected events showing appropriately advanced techniques
• understand and apply the appropriate health and safety rules, and the rules and conventions in the activity.
There is a specifi c form to record performance in the following activity:
• competitive swimming.
This can be found on the samples database at www.cie.org.uk/samples
Marking criteria for physical activities Swimming activities
173 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Competitive swimmingAssessment requirements
• Candidates are required to swim two strokes over 50 metres from a choice of front crawl (FC), back crawl (BC) and breaststroke (Br).
• Clear knowledge of specifi c stroke rules should be demonstrated.
Assessment conditions
The use of swimming goggles is permitted.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should include the whole swim.
• Close-up shots of the stopwatch should be submitted to confi rm results for the sample candidates.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed either by lane or by a numbered swimming (water polo) hat with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the times described in the performance table for competitive swimming and by the diffi culty of the technique.
Assessed skills
In swimming, the mark is predominantly determined by the time achieved for the swim. Marks for technique consider stroke technique, entry and turns.
Marks should be entered on the Competitive Swimming Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
Assessment
For each stroke, candidates should be given a performance table mark out of 40 based on a time assessment and a technique assessment mark out of 10 using the marking criteria. This will give a mark out of 50 for each stroke and a total mark out of 100 for both strokes. The total mark should be divided by 4 to give a fi nal mark out of 25 for the activity.
Stroke technique should be assessed by the component parts (body position, leg action, arm action and breathing) and the whole stroke, entry (dive) and turns for execution and compliance with rules.

Life savingThis activity must not be offered with personal survival.
Assessment conditions
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability of the candidate.
• Level 3 and below may demonstrate isolated skills.
• Level 4 and above must demonstrate skills which combine together to form a complete rescue.
A manikin can be used to replace a casualty. Level 4 should use a fi lled manikin. For Level 3 and below, the manikin can be half-fi lled. When rescuing and towing, the ‘casualty’ should be a similar size and weight to the candidate.
The use of swimming goggles is permitted.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed by a numbered swimming (water polo) hat with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the task requirements and the times described below.
Assessed skills
In life saving, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills which also include times achieved.
Resuscitation skills
Assessment of casualty to check for breathing, circulation shockEmergency resuscitation proceduresAfter careUse of other fi rst-aiders / people to assist
Land-based rescue skills
Reaching with a pole or similarRope rescue over 10 m to include coiling, throwing, rescue and securing the casualtyLanding the casualtyCasualty care
Water rescue skills
Approach skillsNon-contact tow using a fl oat, clothing or rescue buoy Contact tows using the following methods:• chin tow (for more able candidates, this will be assessed in a timed situation)
• cross chest tow
• deep water rescue
• landing the casualty

Marking criteria for physical activities Swimming activities
182 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
Personal survivalThis activity must not be offered with life saving.
Assessment conditions
The assessment should be carried out as a continuous sequence of tasks without periods of rest.
• Candidates assessed in Level 2 and below should only wear trousers over the swimming costume.
• Candidates assessed in Level 3 should wear a T-shirt and trousers over the swimming costume.
• Candidates assessed in Level 4 and above should wear a T-shirt, trousers, trainers and a sweatshirt over the swimming costume.
The use of swimming goggles is permitted.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
• The fi lmed evidence must include the specifi ed tasks (entry, removal of clothes, fl oat making). Evidence of treading water and distance swimming should be fi lmed at the start and at the end of the timed period. Close-up shots of the stopwatch should be submitted to confi rm results for the sample candidates. Therefore treading water and distance swimming may only be fi lmed for a minute.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed either by lane or by a numbered swimming (water polo) hat with identifi ers written on the order of merit form. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the task requirements and times described below.
Assessed skills
In personal survival, the mark is determined by the performance of individual tasks, which also include times achieved.
Candidates should complete the tasks in the following order:
1 Straddle entry wearing clothes (see assessment conditions)
2 50 m or 100 m swim wearing clothes
3 Remove clothes
4 Make a fl oat from clothing and show the HELP position
5 Tread water (where an arm is required to be out of the water the forearm should be on top of the head)
6 Complete the distance swim with surface dives (as required)
7 Exit
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples

Marking criteria for physical activities Combat activities
190 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
6.7 Combat activitiesActivities in this section:
• judo or taekwondo.
Candidates cannot enter for both judo and taekwondo.
All activities in this section should be fi lmed in a way which will allow moderators to see the appropriate aspects of performance. For details see the relevant section on fi lmed evidence in the individual activities.
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance.
Candidates should:
• perform increasingly advanced techniques in both practice and competition
• participate in a recognised version of a competitive contest
• use increasingly advanced strategies and tactics and adapt these to the strengths and limitations of other participants
• understand and apply the rules of the activity including those governing specifi c competitions.
Marking criteria for physical activities Combat activities
191 Cambridge IGCSE Physical Education
JudoThis activity must not be offered with taekwondo.
Assessment conditions
Candidates should work against opponents of a similar ability, age, sex and weight.
The range of skills that need to be assessed will depend on the ability/level of the candidate.
• Level 2 and below may need to demonstrate skills in isolation.
• Level 3 may need to demonstrate skills in isolation and in a conditioned bout.
• Level 4 and above must show skills in isolation, a conditioned bout and in a competitive bout.
In a conditioned bout, skills are demonstrated against a defensive opponent. This means that the opponent can try and prevent the skill being completed but cannot attack back.
Evidence
• Filmed evidence should only include the evidence required to demonstrate the awarded mark. This will result in different evidence for different levels of candidate.
Identifi cation
Candidates must be identifi ed by different coloured belts worn in addition to their grading belt with colours written on the order of merit form. This information can also be displayed as a caption on the fi lm or as a verbal commentary. See section 4.2.4 in this booklet on candidate identifi cation.
Level of demand
This is set by the ability of the opponent. Belt colour may be one useful way to match opponents. It is important that throws and bouts are not ‘staged’, particularly for more able candidates. The level of resistance will assist in determining the mark. The opponent may be at a very similar standard to the candidate and so the resistance will be greater as the skill levels are similar.
Assessed skills
In judo, the mark is determined by the performance of individual skills and their application in ‘fi ght’ situations.
Skills and techniques
Throws: generated with the arm/hand/shoulder, hip and foot/legGroundwork: holds and escapesAttacking play: maintaining own balance, creating imbalance, combining attack moves to provide opportunitiesDefending play: stepping back, stepping around
Marks should be entered on the Generic Order of Merit Form, which is available from www.cie.org.uk/samples
