Exams officers and invigilators play an essential role in the smooth running of the exam system. Schools and colleges should ensure that contingency arrangements are in place should exam officers, or invigilators, be unable to attend on the day on an exam. If the reviewer finds an error in the original moderation and/or judges any adjustment made to be inappropriate, the awarding organisation must correct this and, where necessary, adjust students’ marks so that all students receive an accurate mark and, where required, adjust students’ grades. assessment of vocational or technical qualifications listed on the Register of Regulated Qualifications You may wish to refer to the JCQ information and guidance on the timing and processes of post result services.

The exam timetable for summer 2023 has a greater gap between exams in the same subject than was the case pre-pandemic. This will make it less likely that a student will miss all exams in a subject if they miss one exam due to illness. This change will also give students more space to revise and prepare between papers. Ofqual does not set rules on how awarding organisations handle entries from centres. Awarding organisations have their own arrangements and exam boards set common deadlines through JCQ. JCQ’s members also include CCEA, City and Guilds, NCFE and the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), developing and delivering many vocational and technical qualifications in England.You will need to ensure that your staff are available to process these results, identify any issues and liaise with the relevant awarding organisation. Results days for students if malpractice or maladministration is found, do all they can to stop it happening again, and take proportionate action against those responsible There are differences in advance information between subjects and, in some cases, between different exam boards’ specifications in the same subject. This reflects differences that exist between over 300 GCSE, AS and A level qualifications. Centres should report any evidence or suspicions of malpractice to the relevant awarding organisation. You should report any errors or incidents of maladministration as soon as they are discovered.

For VTQs, awarding organisations are likely to consider the same 3 types of support for students as set out above for GCSEs, AS and A levels. Other types of support may be available depending on the student’s circumstances as this may depend on the individual qualification and assessment missed. For example, in some cases, due to the flexibility of the assessment timings or the nature of the situation, it might be possible for the student to take their assessment at a later date. Your role

Where a GCSE, AS or A level includes non-exam assessment, such as a dance or music performance, teachers should support their students, wherever possible, to complete that assessment in line with arrangements announced by Ofqual for 2022 and the timescales set by exam boards. The non-exam assessment will be marked and moderated as usual and combined with students’ exam marks to generate their grades.

seek independent legal advice to satisfy yourself that you are protected by law, if you wish to report to Ofqual Remember your awarding organisations’ deadlines must be met so that they have all the information they need to issue results on time in August. Additional measures to support delivery of VTQ results publish details of those arrangements, including what special consideration is available, and how students qualify for it Exam boards have published advance information about the exams to help students to focus their revision. There is advance information for all AS and A levels subjects, and all GCSE subjects except English literature, history, geography, and ancient history where there is optional content instead, and art and design where there is no assessment by examination.

You can find information on the organisations and the qualifications that Ofqual regulates in the Register of Regulated Qualifications. Ofqual will not normally be involved with the investigation. Where you think an awarding organisation has not followed published procedures, you can appeal against the finding. If you are dissatisfied with the awarding organisation’s response, you can complain to Ofqual. Ofqual will usually only consider a complaint once the exam board’s own complaints and appeals procedures have been exhausted. Your role
