2022 exam changes
Consultation on autumn 2021 exam series
Published:Wednesday 17 Mar 2021
Ofqual is asking for views on how an autumn exam series for GCSEs, AS and A-levels should run this year, in a two-week consultation launched on 17 March.
The consultation will be open until 9 April 2021, and they’re keen to hear from students, teachers, exam boards and the wider education sector on their proposals, which include:
- the autumn series being open to any student who entered or who had intended to enter to take exams this summer
- holding AS and A-level exams in October and GCSE exams in November/early December
- grades being determined by a student’s exam performance only
- students being able to use the better of the summer or autumn grade
- the use of the normal reviews of marking and appeal arrangements.
As usual, we’ll be looking at the consultation in detail and responding ourselves.
