Summer 2007 exam results facts and figures

AQA is the largest A-level and GCSE awarding body in the UK and this summer
1 million candidates sat our A-level and GCSE exams. We processed around
12 million marks in total, from about 4 million pieces of coursework and around
8 million completed exam papers.

We are constantly improving our service and we successfully increased our use of e-assessment again this year: approximately 5 million exam papers were marked by AQA examiners using the latest technology, including marking on-screen. Candidates took over 2000 of our new GCSE science tests on screen, rather than using paper and pen. This is the only major GCSE examination from any awarding body where candidates have this choice.
