Some students will not be studying at a centre and will be private candidates. Private candidates are often home educated or are re-taking a qualification after leaving school or college. They may be studying with a distance learning provider, tutor, parent, or independently. Private candidates need to register at a centre to sit the assessments required by their qualification. Awarding organisations set a deadline for the receipt of requests for returned scripts. If you ask them to do so, by their deadline, they must provide you a with copy of the student’s marked script in time for you to decide whether to ask for the marking to be reviewed. Priority review of marking Students are not eligible for special consideration because their education was disrupted. What awarding organisations must do
The Equality Act 2010 requires awarding organisations to make reasonable adjustments to assessments for disabled students. Ofqual requires awarding organisations to publish their arrangements for making reasonable adjustments, including how a student qualifies for a reasonable adjustment and what reasonable adjustments might be made. They consider, for example, whether the error will have stopped students being able to answer the question or complete the task, or whether students’ performance in other questions might have been affected by the error. They then decide the fairest way to proceed. This might include analysing how students answered the question or awarding all students full marks for the question. Awarding organisations must make sure centres have the information they need to hand out the right papers on the right day and under the right conditions. Centres must take particular care to store any exam materials securely to protect the confidentiality of the exams.
AQA, CCEA, Edexcel, OCR chemistry paper 1 and WJEC chemistry paper 2 for both higher and foundation, combined and single science students will take place on the morning of Friday, 17 May 2024.
It is in the interests of students to return to a pre-pandemic grading standard. By returning to a grading standard that is known and understood by teachers, schools, colleges, employers, and higher and further education institutions we set young people up for college, university or employment in the best possible way, and help them to make the right choices about their future. The cancellation of exams – and the need for alternative assessment arrangements – is very unlikely. The government does not expect to be in the situation where exams do not go ahead, but it is sensible to have contingency plans in place, even for extremely unlikely scenarios.
