AQA, CCEA, Edexcel and OCR physics paper 2 for both higher and foundation, combined and single science students will take place on the morning of Friday, 14 June 2024.
For some aspects of the qualification system, the exam boards work together to develop common ways of working. For example, they jointly plan the summer exam timetable to minimise clashes. When the exam boards work together in this way, they generally do so through the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), their membership body. Private candidates The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) is the exam boards’ membership organisation (AQA, OCR, Pearson and WJEC). Exam boards use JCQ to set common policies and procedures that centres must follow. Centres will be able to access resources and qualification specific training from VTQ awarding organisations to support exams officers and subject teachers in their roles. This should improve the administration of VTQ assessments understanding of specific awarding organisations’ processes and the information that is required to support results delivery. How GCSEs, AS and A levels will be assessed in 2023 Advance information is designed to help students to focus their revision- it is not intended to reduce the content taught. We require awarding organisations to automatically provide reasons for the outcome of a review. Awarding organisations will have their own ways of providing reasons for review outcomes. Appeals for GCSEs, AS and A levels and TQs within T Levels
a) that the original mark was unduly lenient or harsh, given the correct application of the mark scheme
A short-term illness or temporary injury is not normally considered a disability. A student who is temporarily ill or injured is not normally entitled to reasonable adjustments. But there may be other arrangements available, often known as special consideration or access arrangements. What reasonable adjustments are available provide (on request) guidance to centres about how best to prevent, investigate and deal with malpractice and maladministration As in any year when students take exams, there is no pre-determined ‘quota’ of grades. Arrangements for awarding VTQs in the academic year 2022 to 2023 Ofqual has introduced additional measures to support the delivery of VTQ results for 2023. These are similar to existing arrangements for general qualifications. Over the next year we will continue to work with the entire sector to promote and support the role of the exams officer. Entries and tieringAn appeal hearing can be requested by the centre if it is not satisfied with the outcome. The appeal will be considered by a panel at the awarding organisation. Senior examiners will review student work to set standards, combined with other evidence where appropriate. Where teachers mark their own students’ work (an ‘internally marked’ assessment), then awarding organisations must moderate that marking. This is so they can make sure marking has been undertaken accurately and consistently across all centres. Centres should standardise marking between teachers within their centre. Who marks students’ work? You will be able to give details of your complaint or concern and attach documents within this service. Youcan use our portal to:
in GCSEs, AS and A levels (as well as project qualifications), there was an error in the original moderation, or in the review of that moderation – that is, that: Featuring integrated pen grooves and easy to wipe surfaces, our robust exam desks are available in a variety of colours and frame finishes.

Requests for exams to be moved due to individual availability will not be considered. If you are going to miss an exam due to circumstances out of your control, you will need to submit a PEC form to your academic school. There will be a return to pre-pandemic standards for VTQs that are taken in centres, alongside or instead of GCSEs and A levels so these students will not be advantaged or disadvantaged in comparison.b) a marker who had the appropriate subject knowledge and who had been trained to use the mark scheme would have been acting unreasonably in giving the mark In this guide we use the term centre and centres to refer to schools, colleges and other exam or assessment centres.
