Enquiries about exam results: pupils’ views sought
19 February 2016
Ofqual is running a short survey for pupils about the changes being proposed in Exam Boards’ marking review and appeals systems for GCSE, AS and A Level qualifications.
This is the first time Ofqual has specifically canvassed the views of young people in this way, with the chance to win an iPad as an incentive.
The survey includes questions about whether it’s ok for two examiners to give slightly different marks to the same answer and whether an appeal should consider if the original mark scheme was reasonably applied.
Survey responses will be considered alongside the current national consultation after the 11 March 2016 deadline.
