The change from an A*-G grading system to a 9-1 grading system by English GCSE qualifications has led to a 9-1 grade International General Certificate of Secondary Education being made available. [13] Before, this qualification was graded on an 8-point scale from A* to G with a 9th grade “U” signifying “Ungraded”.

For comparison purposes, a grade C is considered equivalent to a 4, and an A is equivalent to a 7, and an 8 is equivalent roughly to an A*.

The 1960 Beloe Report was commissioned to look into a new exam which became the CSE.. The CSE was introduced to provide a set of qualifications available to a broader range of schoolchildren and distinct from the GCE (), that were aimed at the academically more able pupils, mostly those at grammar and independent schools (rather than secondary modern schools).
