Extra time in exams

Is it true that exam boards have stopped giving extra time (25 %) to international students (who did not previously study in a school where english is the language of instruction) this year?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but if you are taking A levels in England/Wales/Northern Ireland then you cannot have extra time just because you have been taught in English for less than 2 years and need the time to consult a dictionary. You can still have the dictionary. (I is still possible to get extra time if you are taking GCSEs but the rules have been tightened for this too - I think you need only to have been learning English for less than 2 years.)

I'm taking my A-Levels outside the UK, it's just that last year when sitting my AS Level exams I did have extra-time (it was my first year having been taught in English) but today overheard someone in school say that exam boards changed the rules
thought someone on tsr could clarify this.. so are you saying that they did change the rules?
