About this deal
Student work will be marked and graded in the normal way, as it would have been before the pandemic. This means we expect national results in 2023 to be lower than in 2022 and similar to results in pre-pandemic years. This means it is very likely that the results in your centre will be lower than in 2022. Functional skills qualifications, English for speakers of other languages, end-point assessments of apprenticeships and other vocational and technical qualifications not included on government performance tables are out of scope of this guide. Ofqual regulated qualifications Students entering GCSEs, AS or A levels in 2023 will take exams in the summer and complete any non-exam assessments as normal throughout the year. Centres need to apply to awarding organisations (or JCQ) for some types of arrangement, for example extra time or braille papers. Others, such as supervised rest breaks or noise-cancelling headphones, do not need an application. The JCQ guidance or awarding organisation policies explain what you need to do for the different types of arrangements and the evidence requirements.
For GCSE, AS and A level exams, the JCQ has a list of centres that will make exam entries for private candidates. If your centre accepts private candidates but is not included in the list, please register with JCQ.inform centres and other awarding organisations that may be affected by any malpractice or maladministration they have found. 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.
Centres should report any evidence or suspicions of malpractice to the relevant awarding organisation. You should report any errors or incidents of maladministration as soon as they are discovered.
Thanks to the practical height adjustment, the examination couch can be individually adapted to the respective treatment situation. The cover of the mobile couch is made of robust, disinfectant-resistant imitation leather. The generous upholstery, in combination with the adjustable headrest, ensures pleasant lying comfort. We schedule between 650-900 exams for each main exam period for over 15,000 different students. Due to the complexities it is not possible to avoid students having exams scheduled on consecutive days.
