Product Information

For other qualifications, including those assessed mainly though exams (such as Technical Qualifications within T Levels), awarding organisations may decide that it is necessary to gather further evidence. If this is the case, awarding organisations will provide guidance to your school or college. As with GCSEs, AS and A levels, your teachers should tell you when you are taking assessments that could be used as evidence. JCQ has published information for schools and colleges and students on the 2023 to 2024 arrangements. If you are a private candidate and have already registered to take your exams at a school or college, you might want that school or college to assess you during the academic year, alongside their students, in line with the published resilience guidance. The school or college may agree to do so, although they would need to make sure the assessments only covered content that you had studied. Alternatively, you could be assessed only if exams did not take place. For some VTQs, if you miss an assessment it may be possible to sit the exam or assessment at a later point in the year. Your school or college will be able to advise you.

UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, is an independent charity, and the UK’s shared admissions service for higher education.

Your school or college will arrange any reasonable adjustments or access arrangements. They could include: For many qualifications, after the exam papers or assessments have been marked, awarding organisations will then determine how many marks are needed for each grade. This is known as grading. Awarding organisations will review the papers to see the quality of student work and all the available evidence before recommending the grade boundaries – the number of marks needed to get each grade. This happens after work has been marked, so that awarding organisations can see how students have answered the questions. An awarding organisation cannot give you extra marks just because your mark was close to a grade boundary or because you did not get the grade your school or college predicted. It is important to remember that, in most years, only around 20% of students accepted to university meet or exceed the grades they were predicted. If you don’t get the grade your school predicted, it does not automatically mean something has gone wrong with the marking or grading of your exam. Vocational and Technical Qualifications taken alongside GCSEs and A levels in subjects such as engineering, health & social care and digital media.

Some VTQs operate assessments throughout the year. Students may be able to take their assessment again, at the next available opportunity.
