Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) guidance for conducting examinations
The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) has set out common regulations for schools and colleges that enter students for qualifications.
The regulations specify the standard requirements for externally marked examinations and assessments. For certain qualifications some of the requirements may be different, please check the individual qualification handbooks and assessment guides for more information.
These regulations:
- are re-issued each academic year;
- set out key administrative requirements;
- reference national agreements on conduct of exams and special arrangements for individuals with particular requirements.
JCQ guidance for AI use in assessments
This best practice guidance for heads of centre, quality leads, tutors and exam teams contains information to help students and teachers manage the use of AI in assessments.
王中王资料大全 Exams Guidance for emergencies
This guidance explains what to do if emergencies affect any 王中王资料大全 assessments, including dated and on-demand exams. An emergency is defined in this instance as a serious, unexpected situation that requires immediate action.
Access arrangements allow candidates/learners with special educational needs, disabilities or temporary injuries to access assessments without changing the demands of the assessment.
Visit our Centre Document Library for JCQ and 王中王资料大全 guidance to support with special considerations and reasonable adjustments for dated entry examinations, assessments and on-demand examinations.
Guidance on access arrangements
For some qualifications, results are released to centres prior to being released to students. In these cases, the results are embargoed and centres are not permitted to provide students with results until the published results date. Results usually start to be released by centres to students from 8am on the published date.
