Pre-Pandemic Standards Resume

 

In 2023, the GCSE examination process will undergo some significant changes. In an effort to modernise and return the process to pre-pandemic standards, the UK government has implemented a series of reforms that will affect the way that GCSEs are structured and assessed. 

 

These changes include the eradication of advanced information that was given to students who took their exams in 2022. Ofqual announced that they had decided to return to pre-covid examinations to allow students to show what they could do in exams. However, students taking GCSEs in 2023 will receive a similar level of protection in the marking process as the 2022 cohort. As a result, the 2023 cohort will be protected in grading terms if their examination performance is slightly lower than before the pandemic. Therefore, a student who would have achieved a grade 9 before the pandemic will just be as likely to get a 9 this summer, even with a dip in exam performance. 

 

Subject Information

 

After more than 90% of respondents (including students and teachers) supported the decision, formulae sheets will be provided to students sitting their exams in Maths, Physics and Combined Sciences. There has also been the decision to remove the requirement for exam boards to include unfamiliar vocabulary in GCSE modern foreign languages for the examinations in 2023. 

 

GCSE Preparation

 

For many students, the GCSE examination process can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. It is important that students are well-prepared and have the support they need to succeed. This includes access to high-quality teaching and resources, as well as the guidance of tutors, parents, and other trusted adults. 

 

In the months leading up to the GCSE examinations, it is essential that students focus on their studies and take advantage of any support and resources that are available to them. With hard work and determination, they can achieve the best possible results and set themselves up for success in the next phase of their education.
