Consultation on an additional GCSE, AS and A level exam series in autumn 2020

When exams were cancelled we were promised that "students who do not feel this [calculated] grade reflects their performance, to sit an exam at the earliest reasonable opportunity"
This is now changing and we're not sure what will happen.


* Which result will stand?

* Where should the exams take place?

* Should the exams be in October? Results for A level exams taken during October could be published before Christmas and results for GCSE exams taken in November could be published in February. Too late for appealing lost places at university or college.
* Should there be a new task for GCSE, AS and A level art and design should be set and marked by the exam board?

* Should the non-exam assessment be taken into account in the autumn series?

* Should the format of the exam papers be the same as those normally taken in a summer exam series?

* Should the exam boards have to provide the exact same set of subjects in autumn, as they would in the summer?

These are some of the questions that Ofqual have put in the Consultation on an additional GCSE, AS and A level exam series in autumn 2020 that is running until 8 June 2020 at 23.45.
