Students to get more generous exam grading next year
Measures have been announced to make next year's exams as fair as possible and to manage the disruption caused by Covid-19.
Building on the three-week delay to exams to free up extra teaching time announced in October, the new measures include more generous grading than usual, in line with national outcomes from 2020, so students this year are not disadvantaged.
Students will also receive advance notice of some topic areas covered in GCSE, AS and A levels to focus revision.
Exam aids - like formula sheets - will also be provided in some exams giving students more confidence and reducing the amount of information they need to memorise.
There will also be additional exams to give students a second chance to sit a paper if the main exams or assessments are missed due to illness or self-isolation; and a new expert group to look at differential learning and monitor the variation in the impact of the pandemic on students across the country.
