About this deal
If the moderator finds that the marking is inconsistent, so that it is impossible to adjust the marks in a way that ensures students receive accurate marks, the exam board will either:
Ofqual’s rules for awarding organisations reflect how serious malpractice and maladministration can be. We require awarding organisations to do all they can to prevent malpractice and maladministration when developing, delivering and awarding regulated qualifications. However, it can happen and, where there are plausible allegations, awarding organisations must find out whether malpractice or maladministration has happened. We know that students have experienced some disruption during and following the pandemic. Accordingly, there is protection in place for students in 2023. Where national performance is found to be lower than it was prior to the pandemic senior examiners will make allowances when setting grade boundaries. This will be similar to the approach Ofqual instructed exam boards to take to protect students when GCSEs and A levels were reformed.
Exam Desk Bundles for All Budgets
Special consideration is only for things that happen immediately before or during an exam or assessment that has a material effect on a student’s ability to take that exam or assessment, or on how they performed. To be eligible for special consideration, students must have been fully prepared for the assessment and have covered the whole course.
To make this possible, every centre must provide a sample of their students’ work. The sample is set by the exam boards to include a sufficient number and range of student work (given different marks) to allow them to make a secure judgement about the standard of the centre’s marking.AQA and WJEC operate their VTQs in a similar way to their A level qualifications, requiring assessment entries rather than operating a claim process. Therefore, they will continue to issue results to centres on 16 August in line with the release of their A level results. Identify in term time which students are expecting to certificate this academic year, which students have deferred, and which students have withdrawn. Reasonable adjustments, sometimes known as access arrangements, are changes made to exams or assessments or to the way they are conducted that reduce or remove disadvantage introduced by a student’s disability. They are needed because some disabilities can make it harder for students to show what they know and can do in an assessment than it would have been had the student not been disabled.
