Summary

Updating our rules and guidance for GCSE, AS, A level and Project qualifications.

This consultation ran from
9:30am on 14 December 2018 to 11:45pm on 25 January 2019

Consultation description

We are consulting on changes to our rules about how exam boards should conduct reviews of marking, moderation and appeals.

The changes we propose respond to issues we have seen in the first two years of operation of these rules, aim to make our rules easier to follow and bring them in line with a version of the rules which we have already introduced for Technical Qualifications.

Documents tracking these changes to our Qualification Level Conditions and Requirements and Guidance for GCSEs, GCEs and Project Qualifications are available below, along with ‘clean’ versions of these documents.
