You can ask your centre for a review of the assessments that the centre has marked and you can ask to see your marked assessment. You can also ask your centre to speak to your awarding organisation for a review of the assessments that the awarding organisation has marked. Your centre can ask to see your marked assessment. you must be told before each assessment that your performance in it would be used for a TAG if exams were not able to go ahead – and wherever possible, this information should be given far enough in advance to allow you time to revise and prepare We expect that many of you will already have taken some of the assessments that your centre would use for TAGs, if needed. Your centre will decide when it has collected sufficient evidence from you. Preparing for, and taking, those assessments should also help you to prepare for summer exams. With that said, both phrases are interchangeable in American English, while “work in progress” is the only choice to use in British English. Example Usage

We have published a subject by subject guide to all the changes. Some of the changes are explained below: Students study for qualifications in a number of settings – including schools, colleges and a range of providers such as adult learning providers and private training providers. Typically these places of study are registered as exam centres and are where you will take your exams and assessments.If you think you’ve seen a paper or a question before the exam, chances are it’s probably fake, but don’t risk losing marks or being disqualified. AS level, A level and VTQ exams and assessments in England will return to pre-pandemic arrangements this summer. Most GCSE exams are also returning to normal. Exams are the best and fairest form of assessment. But we recognise the disruption the pandemic has caused, so there will be a number of adaptations for this years’ exams to ensure fairness for students. VTQ (vocational technical qualifications) exams and formal assessments have been taking place throughout the year and continue this term. All of our safety signs comply with the safety colour regulations. This ensures that certain colours adhere to their specific meanings.

As VTQs use a range of different assessment approaches, awarding organisations will use suitable grading arrangements for the qualifications they offer. They will take into account the grading approach used in GCSE, AS level and A levels where appropriate. Also, if you look at this graph, you’ll be able to see the difference in usage between the two phrases over the last two centuries. “In progress” is the more popular choice and has been since about 1820. Both words are slowly being used less, but “in progress” is the most popular. What Does It Mean If Something Is “In Process”? These adaptations are in response to a consultation we ran with the exams regulator, Ofqual, in summer 2021. From these examples, we can see just how easy it is to use both phrases interchangeably. It’s up to you which one you prefer to use. If the exam board does not find any mistakes, your mark will not change, and therefore your grade will not change. If the exam board finds a mistake was made, your mark could go up or down. If your mark changes, this could mean that your grade stays the same or goes up or down.If you wish to complain to Ofqual about an exam board or other awarding organisation, for example, because you think it hasn’t followed our rules or its own published policies and procedure, see our complaints procedure. We would usually expect you to have complained to the exam board before coming to us, to give the exam board an opportunity to resolve your complaint. Awarding organisations You can ask your teacher or your special educational needs and disabilities coordinator (SENDCo) for more information about reasonable adjustments and whether they apply to you. Special consideration GCSE mathematics: you will be given a sheet in the exams showing the formulae you might need to use so you don’t have to memorise as much For the past two years, summer exams haven’t been able to take place and, instead, students have been awarded grades by their teachers. Due to the difference in assessment approach, we have seen higher outcomes. something that you could not prevent happens during or immediately before a scheduled exam that could affect how you perform in the exam

We talk about awarding organisations and exam boards in the guide. All organisations that offer qualifications regulated by Ofqual are awarding organisations. The 4 awarding organisations that offer GCSEs, AS and A levels in England are commonly called exam boards. Normal assessment arrangements remain in place for T Levels, for both core assessments and occupational specialism assessments.

It is the Government’s firm intention that exams and assessments for VTQs and other general qualifications, including T Levels and Functional Skills qualifications, should go ahead in 2021/22 academic year. Many thousands of students have already sat VTQ assessments this year. We are also ensuring that students continue to have access to high-quality tutoring, through the National Tutoring Programme and 16-19 Tuition Fund. How will exams be graded? Our aim is to return to the pre-pandemic (2019) grading standard — but we don’t think it would be fair on you to do that all in one go in 2022 because your year group’s education has been disrupted by the pandemic. In 2023 we aim to return to results that are in line with those in pre-pandemic years. Vocational and technical qualifications are assessed in many different ways. The way a qualification is marked is designed to suit the purpose of the qualification and how you have been assessed. The awarding organisation will have decided how it is marked. It has to do this in line with our rules, making sure it best reflects what you know and can do. Grading If your qualification includes non-exam assessment — for example practical work or a performance – this may be marked by the exam board, or by your teacher. If your teacher has marked your assessment, you are entitled to know your marks. If you do not think your mark is correct, your centre must allow you to ask for a review of your teacher’s marking before your marks are given to the exam board. Your work will be reviewed by someone who was not previously involved in the marking. Speak to your centre for information about how to do this.

GCSE exams will happen in May and June, as normal, and the exam boards have now published their final summer exam timetables. When will A level exams happen in 2022? The Technical Qualification part of the T Level has two different types of assessment. The core assessment assesses the knowledge, understanding and skills you need in your chosen area, and the occupational specialism assesses the specialist knowledge and skills you need for your chosen career.

If something is on its way to completion, then it is proceeding towards completion. The word “process” is related to the present participle “proceeding,” which is why we’re able to say it in this way. We understand that students taking exams and assessments this year have been affected by the pandemic. That is why we have made changes to the arrangements for exams and formal assessments. Your centre can also apply for a review of moderation of non-exam assessment that was marked by your teacher, if marks were changed by the exam board following moderation. This review would apply to all students taking the qualification at your centre, not just to you. Your centre can also ask, on your behalf, to see your marked exam paper. They can do this before deciding whether to request a review of marking to help to identify whether they think a mistake was made when your work was marked. Students will receive results for level 3 VTQs on or before 17 August and will receive results for level 2 VTQs on or before 24 August 2023. What is the latest on exam arrangements for 2023?
