GCE Biology exam error

Following the error that was identified in a multiple-choice question on one of our Biology GCE papers, we'd like to update you on our plans for ensuring that no student is either advantaged by the actions we are taking or disadvantaged by this error.

The affected question was worth one mark, and this question will not be counted. The maximum
mark for the paper will be reduced from 80 to 79. Teachers will be able to see this adjustment in the
published mark scheme, which will be available to Edexcel Online users on Friday 15 July 2011.

In addition, we've considered whether this question might have affected student performance on the remaining questions in the same paper, either because they ran out of time, or because they were distracted by the error. Using data from our online marking system, we will be able to analyse student performance at individual question level and identify:

whether the question has affected the performance of the whole cohort on this paper
any student whose performance in their answers following the question concerned is out of
line with their performance on the questions before it.

We will then be able to compare individual student performance on this unit with other units that
they have sat. If necessary, an adjustment will be made to the marks of individual candidates based
on their performance in the same paper, and in the other units that they have sat.

We hope that this reassures you and your students who were affected. We know that you will be
supporting your students over the coming weeks, and we would be grateful if you would share this
information with them. We’ll continue to keep you fully informed of any action we take, and we'll
be in touch again before results day.

If you believe that your students were affected and you have not already contacted us, please do so at
[email protected].

I can't seem to find the Mark Schemes on these pages, or maybe I'm just too lazy to search?
So! For all the lazy people who don't like goose chases, I've attached it. :P
