Technical Awards are taken alongside GCSEs and include subjects such as Pearson’s BTEC Level 1/2 Technical Award in Performing Arts or OCR’s Level 1/2 Cambridge National in Health and Social Care. Students completing these qualifications in summer 2024 will be the first to do so. As teachers and students will be less familiar with these qualifications, awarding organisations will take this into account when setting grade boundaries as has happened with other new qualifications previously. Similarly, some Technical Qualifications within T Levels are in the first few years of teaching and assessment. Teachers and students will be less familiar with these qualifications, so awarding organisations will take this into account when setting grade boundaries in the first years of awards. Getting your results If the government considered that national exams could not take place, the Department for Education would explore ways to encourage schools and colleges to work with private candidates. Resits Most exams for GCSEs, AS and A levels take place in May or June each year. That means most students who want to resit a GCSE, AS or A level will need to wait until the following summer to do so.

UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, is an independent charity, and the UK’s shared admissions service for higher education.In this guide, we refer to schools and colleges as a collective term for all schools, colleges and other exam centres. know what equipment you’re allowed to take in for each exam or assessment – this includes approved calculators that are only allowed in some exams and assessments For some VTQs, if you miss an assessment it may be possible to sit the exam or assessment at a later point in the year. Your school or college will be able to advise you. If you are a private candidate, you will need to register at a school or college or other exam centre to sit your exams. As grade boundaries can change each year, when preparing for your exams or assessment you should focus on the underlying content, knowledge and skills required for each qualification, rather than only the grade boundaries set for papers from previous years.

Some GCSE subjects have 2 tiers of entry (foundation or higher). The subjects with tiers of entry are: awarding a grade if you unavoidably missed an exam or assessment, as long as you have completed at least one other exam or assessment for that qualification Exams and assessments for all qualifications are going ahead as normal this year and grading arrangements will be as normal. Support material It is very unlikely that formal exams and assessments will be cancelled but, just in case something does happen, there are arrangements in place. Normal grading arrangements will continue for GCSEs, AS and A levels in 2024. As usual, Ofqual will make sure that the awarding organisations take a suitable approach to grading each of their qualifications. There are no set numbers of each grade available. You will be awarded a grade that reflects your performance.

Awarding organisations, schools and colleges often call reasonable adjustments (for students with disabilities), access arrangements. Access arrangements also include changes that might be made to an assessment due to a temporary illness, injury or event (such as needing a scribe for a broken arm). While the arrangement may be the same, the reason for it will be different. a small number of extra marks may be awarded if your exam performance is affected by temporary illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstance If you are studying a Level 3 VTQ and are planning to use your results to progress to higher education, you will receive your results on or before Thursday 15 August 2024. All organisations that offer qualifications regulated by Ofqual are called awarding organisations. The 4 awarding organisations that offer GCSEs, AS and A levels in England are also called exam boards. Where we refer to exam boards specifically, it is because we are talking about their GCSE, AS or A level qualifications.

Young Minds is a charity working to improve emotional well-being and mental health amongst children and young people.If you are a private candidate, you should make your request for a priority review directly to your awarding organisation. Appeals You can find the most up to date information about the arrangements for 2023 to 2024 on Ofqual’s rolling update . Special consideration is only for things that happen immediately before or during an exam or assessment that have a significant effect on a student’s ability to take that exam or assessment, or on how they performed. For GCSE, AS, A level, Technical Qualification within a T Level and some VTQs, your school or college can also apply for a review of moderation of non-exam assessment that was marked by your teacher, if marks were changed by the awarding organisation following moderation. This review would apply to all students taking the qualification at your school or college, not just to you. Childline is a service provided by the NSPCC offering confidential support and advice to children and young people.

To be clear, you must not wear a watch in the exam or take a mobile phone into the exam hall with you, as doing so will also be treated as malpractice. The EPRS will look at whether the awarding organisation has followed its own procedures and Ofqual’s rules. Ofqual will not review your work or change your grade. Your grade will only change if the awarding organisation decides your grade was wrong and needs to be corrected. It is important to remember that a new grade could be higher or lower. We can ask the awarding organisation to look at your appeal again if we think the awarding organisation has made a mistake when it completed the review of marking or moderation, or when it considered your appeal. JCQ is the exam boards’ membership organisation (AQA, OCR, Pearson and WJEC). Exam boards use JCQ to set common policies and procedures that schools and colleges must follow. An awarding organisation cannot give you extra marks just because your mark was close to a grade boundary or because you did not get the grade your school or college predicted. It is important to remember that, in most years, only around 20% of students accepted to university meet or exceed the grades they were predicted. If you don’t get the grade your school predicted, it does not automatically mean something has gone wrong with the marking or grading of your exam.Details of all awarding organisations that deliver qualifications that Ofqual regulates, are listed on the Ofqual Register.
