Cambridge written work

Hi, I have applied to MML. I would just like to clarify whether the written work needs to be digital, and if it has to be marked?

If so, how should the teachers add markings? Just text boxes in red?

Thank you

I uploaded work that had been marked with excellent grade, but the document itself was just my own text.

I feel like, while marking tries to be objective, it is not always the case, so as long as you got a great grade on it, there's no need to actually displayed it. The Cambridge professors will have their own opinion about it and that's what matter

You will receive detailed instructions on what is required from your college but it doesn’t have to be digital originally. It will need to be marked by your teacher with their comments and you then use that to create a pdf document for electronic submission.

You can find full details, including how to create a pdf file, here:

Thank you. Do you know when the college will reach out regarding the written work? I’ve already left school so would like to ensure I get things prepared in advance (allowing time for teachers to get back to me etc)
