17 3 Entries 3.1 Intention to teach September 2015 is the start of a significant programme of change to the UK curriculum and, as such, we need to collect additional information from centres about the specifications that will be taught from We are referring to this process as intention to teach and we will be asking for information about which of our new specifications you will be teaching at your centre, the size of the cohort, and a contact name and address for the subject. You will receive an e-alert in September with a link to the online form and instructions on how to complete this form. 3.2 Preliminary entries and material orders We currently collect preliminary entries for GCE Applied Art & Design and GCE IC, where in-course teaching guides and question papers are required at a very early stage of the teaching process. All preliminary materials for other subjects will be available online from Interchange ( or, from 1 September, the OCR website ( You will be ed a link to the preliminary entry form at the beginning of the 2015/16 academic year for Additional copies of this form can be downloaded from the OCR website ( Please return the form by the date shown so we can send you the materials. You still need to make estimated (see Section 3.3) and final entries (see Section 3.4). If you are not teaching any of the subjects shown, or are not intending to enter candidates for the 2017 series, you do not need to complete or return this form. If your centre is planning to teach the new GCSE English Literature (9 1) J352 specification from September 2015, you can order free paper copies of the poetry anthology set text from the OCR website ( 3.3 Estimated entries What are estimated entries? Estimated entries are your centre s best projection of the number of candidates that will be entered for a unit or option in a particular series. hey are not required at certification level. Estimated entries are free and do not commit your centre in any way. If you do not make estimated entries, you will not receive despatches of early examination materials (for example, instructions for practical examinations and pre-release materials) when you require them. For subjects with a visiting examiner/moderator, we will not be able to allocate an examiner/moderator to your centre, which could cause delays in the examination/moderation process. If you do not update your entry information, you may receive materials based on last year s entry data which you may not need. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 11

18 o help with your estimates, estimated entries are automatically calculated from your final entries for the last appropriate series. For example, final entries from the 2015 series will be used to create estimated entries for the series; however, it is important to update this information to ensure it is as accurate as possible. In particular: If you wish to make entries for a new qualification, e.g. AS Levels (first teaching 2015) If the volumes you plan to enter change greatly If you are no longer going to make entries for an OCR unit or option. Estimated entry deadlines Deadlines for submitting estimated entries are as follows. Estimated entries are not required for the November series. Series Deadline January 21 September October 2015 Submitting and amending estimated entries Estimated entries can only be submitted through Interchange ( Just log in to Interchange, hover over Entries in the left-hand menu and then click on Submit estimated entries. At this stage, we do not need full details of the candidates; these will be required when you make final entries (see Section 3.4). If you need to change your estimated entries after you ve submitted them, you can amend your estimates via Interchange until the relevant final entry deadline. Informing OCR of a nil return If you do not intend to enter any candidates for the January or series, please log in to Interchange and click the nil return box in the Estimated entries area. Letting us know this means you won t be chased for information unnecessarily and won t receive unwanted materials. 3.4 What are final entries? Key points For unitised qualifications (and linear qualifications with a unitised entry structure), both unit and certification entries must be made to claim a full award. Where we are running an old specification alongside a new specification, please ensure you use the correct entry codes. Final entries provide OCR with detailed data for each candidate, showing each assessment to be taken. Final entries are used to: Personalise key documents with candidates details Allocate moderators to centres 12 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

19 Allocate exam scripts to examiners Send centres essential assessment materials, such as question papers Establish whether you wish to submit centre-assessed candidate work by post or upload the work via the OCR Repository (see Section 5.9) Supply candidates with results. here are three different final entry structures (see Section 1.3): Unitised qualifications o claim the full qualification, unit entries must be made first, followed by certification entries once the candidate is eligible for certification. Not all units are available in each series; details of available series are shown alongside the unit details in the Entry Codes booklet. Units remain available for certification for the life of the qualification. Linear qualifications A single entry is made at the end of the course. he qualification may be made up of a number of examination papers and/or internal assessment. Linear qualifications with a unitised entry structure Both unit and certification entries must be made, but % of the assessment is taken at the end of the course. You must use the correct entry codes. As you make your final entries, you might find our Essential Entries Guide useful. his can be downloaded from the OCR website ( and has been designed to help new and experienced exams officers avoid common entry issues and make final entries smoothly. 3.5 Current GCSE entry rules (including carry forward) When making your entries, you must plan carefully, taking the entry, certification and carry forward rules into consideration. You will need to check that: Unit combinations are valid Using the Entry Codes booklet. All units have been entered in the same series as certification (the % terminal rule has been satisfied) You may find the section below useful. Certification rules for current GCSE and GCSE (Short Course) For GCSE and GCSE (Short Course), a % terminal rule applies. Candidates must enter for all their units in the series in which the qualification is certificated. In specifications with both GCSE and GCSE (Short Course), the two qualifications can be certificated concurrently if all units are taken in the same series. Candidates who have claimed GCSE (Short Course) and decide to move on to the GCSE from the same specification will need to retake all of the GCSE (Short Course) units alongside the additional units required for GCSE. he new results for the units that have been retaken will then be used to calculate the GCSE grade. Any results previously achieved cannot be re-used. We strongly advise you make certification entries for your candidates by the final entry deadlines (see Section 3.10), and before results are released at the latest. However, if you have not made a certification entry, you may use the post-results late certification process up until the closing date for this service see Section 9.3. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 13

20 Certification rules for current GCSE (Double Award) For GCSE (Double Award), where a candidate is taking a GCSE (Double Award) for the first time and where they have not previously been awarded the GCSE from the same specification, a % terminal rule applies. Candidates must be entered for all their units in the series in which the qualification is certificated. Candidates who have already been awarded the GCSE and decide to move on to the GCSE (Double Award) from the same specification have three options available to them for certification of the double award: Retake all of the GCSE units alongside the additional units required for GCSE (Double Award). he new results for the units that have been retaken will then be used to calculate the GCSE (Double Award) grade; any results previously achieved will not be re-used. Retake the externally assessed unit from the GCSE alongside the additional units required for GCSE (Double Award) and carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit that was previously used towards the GCSE. he new result for the externally assessed GCSE unit will then be used in the calculation of the GCSE (Double Award) grade. Where a candidate decides to carry forward a result for the GCSE controlled assessment unit, they must be entered for this unit in the series in which the double award is certificated, using the carry forward entry code option (see the Entry Codes booklet). here is no charge for carry forward units. ake just the additional units required for GCSE (Double Award) and carry forward the result for the GCSE. Where a candidate decides to carry forward the complete result for the GCSE, they must be entered for the carry forward code in the series in which the double award is certificated (see the Entry Codes booklet). Candidates must choose which of these options they want to follow before entries for the double award are made. All new and retaken units must be entered in the series in which the double award is certificated. In specifications with both GCSE and GCSE (Double Award), the two qualifications can be certificated concurrently if all units are taken in the same series. Rules for retaking a qualification and carrying forward results Candidates may enter for current GCSE, GCSE (Short Course) and GCSE (Double Award) qualifications an unlimited number of times. Where a candidate retakes a qualification, all units must be re-entered and all externally assessed units must be retaken in the same series as the qualification is re-certificated. he new results for these units will be used to calculate the new qualification grade. Any results previously achieved cannot be re-used. For controlled assessment units, candidates who are retaking a qualification can choose either to retake a controlled assessment unit (Option 1) or to carry forward a result for that unit used towards the previous certification of the same qualification (Option 2). Option 1: Retaking controlled assessment Where a candidate decides to retake the controlled assessment, the new result will be the one used to calculate the new qualification grade. In this case, any results previously achieved cannot be re-used. Option 2: Carrying forward a result for controlled assessment his option is only available if the controlled assessment unit was used in a previous certification. 14 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

21 Where a candidate decides to carry forward a result for controlled assessment, they must be entered for the controlled assessment unit in the retake series using the entry code for the carry forward option. his will not happen automatically. Results for controlled assessment units can be carried forward even if the previous certification was entered at a different centre; please make sure the candidate is entered with the same unique candidate identifier (UCI) as before (see Section 3.12). For further details about carrying forward controlled assessment, including examples of permitted combinations, see GCSE Controlled Assessment Carry Forward Rules from the 2014 series: FAQs for centres, available from the OCR website ( Foundation and Higher ier rules Many current GCSE units are tiered and, where this is the case, the entry option F is used for the Foundation tier and the entry option H for the Higher tier. he Higher tier option is targeted at grades A* D and the Foundation tier option is targeted at grades C G. In the Foundation tier option, the maximum uniform mark available will be equivalent to a top grade C. In tiered subjects, candidates may take different units at different tiers. Common units in current English, Religious Studies and Sciences GCSE English, English Language, Religious Studies and the Science suites have common units across different specifications or certification titles. Where two certifications of the same size have a common unit, these two qualifications cannot be certificated in the same series, as both qualifications have a % terminal rule and a single result is only allowed to count towards one qualification of a given size. Where a controlled assessment unit is common to more than one certification, a result for the controlled assessment unit that has been used towards one qualification cannot be carried forward for use in a different qualification. Controlled assessment unit results can only be carried forward for use in a retake of the same qualification, except for GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355) (see the Entry Codes booklet for further information). November 2015 retake series GCSE English, English Language and Mathematics have a retake opportunity available in November For the purpose of this rule, English and English Language are treated as the same subject. For example, a candidate could take GCSE English in 2015 and then use the November 2015 series to take GCSE English Language. his opportunity is only available to candidates who have previously certificated in the same subject with any awarding body. Candidates who have not certificated for the same subject in a previous series will not be permitted to enter in the November series. However, awarding bodies are required to have evidence of the previous attempt before accepting an entry, unless the learner is aged 16 years or older on 31 August in the year that they wish to take an examination in November, in which case no evidence is required. herefore, a candidate who is 16 years or older on 31 August can use the November series to sit an examination for the first time.

22 3.6 Current Level 3 entry and resit rules Current GCE, Principal Learning and Level 3 Certificate entry rules here are no resit rules for GCE, Principal Learning and Level 3 Certificate; candidates may resit units as many times as they wish. Centres simply need to make the required unit entries. he best result will then count towards certification. o retake a GCE or Principal Learning qualification, candidates can resit all units or resit some units and re-use others. he best result for each unit will then count towards certification. However, candidates may only re-enter for certification if they have retaken at least one unit which was used towards the first certification result or, where there are optional units, if they have taken another option. Otherwise, candidates may not re-certificate with a set of unit results which is identical to that which existed previously, whether for the purpose of getting all their subject grades on the same certificate or for any other reason. o obtain an Advanced GCE/Advanced GCE (Double Award), candidates do not need to have been entered for AS GCE/AS GCE (Double Award) first. A carry forward option exists for GCE MEI Mathematics Units 4753, 4758 and 4776 which allows candidates to carry forward a coursework mark from a previous series, whilst resitting the examined component. Current GCE Mathematics: Unit locking rules Once certification has been achieved and a unit has been used towards a qualification, it will become locked to that qualification s group. his means this unit can only subsequently be used towards qualifications in the same qualification group ; the unit cannot be used towards a qualification in a different group. he qualification groups are defined as follows: Group A Group B Group C Mathematics Further Mathematics Further Mathematics (Additional) AS Level Mathematics A Level Mathematics AS Level Further Mathematics A Level Further Mathematics AS Level Further Mathematics (Additional) A Level Further Mathematics (Additional) here are two types of locking: Single locking A unit has been used towards the award of only one of the qualifications in the group. o unlock the unit from a qualification group, you need to make a new certification entry for that qualification. Double locking A unit has been used for the awards of both the AS and the A Level qualifications in the group. o unlock the unit from a qualification group, you need to make a new certification entry for the A Level qualification only. When a candidate certificates for a GCE qualification in Mathematics, we strongly advise centres to make a new certification entry for any GCE Mathematics qualification for which they have previously certificated. his will ensure all units become unlocked and the best set of grades can be awarded. For more information, see the JCQ GCE Mathematics Aggregation Rules Guidance for Centres available on the JCQ website ( guidance-for-heis). 16 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

23 Current GCE Art and Design and GCE Classics: Unit locking rules Once a unit has been used towards a qualification at either AS Level or A Level, it becomes locked to that certification title at that level. No results for that unit can be used towards another certification title at that level, unless it becomes unlocked (see below). However, results from that unit can be used in a re-certification of the original qualification, or used towards any certification at the other level. A unit becomes unlocked from a certification if that certification is re-entered and where the re-certification result does not use that unit. Once a unit has been unlocked from a certification at a particular level, it can then be used towards any certification at that level. Where a candidate is following both endorsed and unendorsed courses, we recommend all certification entries should be made at the end of the course. 3.7 Level 2 Award and Level 1/2 Certificate entry rules he following rules apply to both the Level 2 Award and the Level 1/2 Certificate. Unit resit rules before certification Candidates may resit each unit once before certification, i.e. each candidate can have two attempts at a unit before certification. If the candidate takes a unit twice and does not obtain a certification grade, a third entry for this unit will be rejected. If the candidate is absent from a unit, this is not considered to be one of their two attempts. Where there are optional units, candidates may have a maximum of two attempts for each optional unit before certification. For the purposes of the resit rule, units with entry options which provide a choice of moderation methods (e.g. postal or OCR Repository) are treated as the same unit, and hence may be resat only once. Where a candidate has taken a unit twice, the best result counts towards the final grade. Rules for retaking a qualification Candidates may enter for Level 2 Award and Level 1/2 Certificate qualifications an unlimited number of times. Candidates can retake a qualification either by resitting all of the units or by resitting some units and re-using previous results for others. However, candidates may only re-enter for certification if they have retaken at least one unit which was used towards the first certification result or, where there are optional units, if they have taken another option. Candidates may not re-certificate with a set of unit results which is identical to that which existed previously, for the purpose of receiving all their subject grades on the same certificate, or for any other reason. When a qualification is retaken (i.e. after certification), a candidate is allowed two further attempts at each unit. However, only the better of the two most recent nonabsent results will count towards the final grade. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 17

24 3.8 Current linear qualification entry rules When retaking a linear qualification, candidates must take all the components. 3.9 New AS/A Level and GCSE (9 1) (first teaching 2015) entry rules Since new AS, A Level and GCSE qualifications (9 1) (first teaching 2015) are linear qualifications, entries need to be made for the relevant qualification using the correct option code (just a single entry code). his includes A Level Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and GCSE (9 1) English Language, whereby entering for the correct option also includes entry for the new endorsements (see Section 6). AS and A Level History are the exception to this as they are linear qualifications with a unitised entry structure. Before making entries for A Level History, your centre must use OCR s Specification Creator, available from the OCR website ( to confirm that the units make up a valid course. As for current linear qualifications, when retaking a new linear qualification, candidates must take all the components Deadlines for submitting final entries Series Qualification Deadline November 2015 January GCSE (Maths, English and English Language) resits only Level 2 Award, Entry Level Certificate, FSMQ, Principal Learning, Project, Level 1/2 Certificate, Level 3 Certificate 4 October October 2015 * All available qualifications 21 February * he entry deadline for the series is the same date for all available qualifications. January series resit deadlines Where a candidate is resitting exactly the same unit in as taken in January, the entry deadline of 21 February is extended as follows: Original entry series Resit series Deadline January 21 March 18 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

25 Late entries Centres should make entries as soon as possible as essential exam materials will be despatched following their receipt. We cannot guarantee materials (e.g. question papers) will be supplied on time if you submit entries within two weeks of a timetabled exam. Late entry fees will apply to entries made after the deadline (see Section 3.11). Entry amendments and withdrawals After you have made final entries, we automatically send you entry feedback documents (see Section 3.17) to confirm the entries made and candidate s personal details. Please double-check all entry information before the examination period. If changes need to be made, you should make the amendments and/or withdrawals via A2C or Interchange ( by the following deadlines (hard copy amendments will not be accepted): Series November 2015 (GCSE Maths, English and English Language) Resits only January (Level 2 Award, Entry Level Certificate, FSMQ, Principal Learning, Project, Level 1/2 Certificate, Level 3 Certificate) (GCE, FSMQ, Principal Learning, Project, Level 3 Certificate) (GCSE, Level 2 Award, Level 1/2 Certificate, Entry Level Certificate) Deadline 22 December February 10 August 17 August After these deadlines, only corrections to a candidate s name, date of birth, UCI or ULN will be accepted and we do not process electronic amendment files this is to avoid any mismatch of entry and results data. Amendments should be ed to the Entries eam at OCRGQ.entryprocessing@ocr.org.uk from your centre s registered address. We may request a copy of a legal document (birth certificate or passport) where proof of identity is necessary. Where a candidate sits an examination but has no entry or is incorrectly entered for a different option/tier (referred to as a pirate candidate ), please ensure you submit an entry amendment via either A2C or Interchange immediately after the examination. If you make the amendment via Interchange, you must update your I system to ensure it will accept the result later. Note that late entry fees will apply (see Section 3.11) Entry fees Entry fees are as follows: For unitised qualifications (and linear qualifications with a unitised entry structure), a basic charge is made for every final unit entry; certification entries are free, with the exception of GCSE Short Courses, for which a certification entry fee is made, see the Fees List ( Unit entries for carried forward GCSE controlled assessment are also free. For linear specifications, a charge is made for each option entry. Details of fees are provided in the Fees List. Unit and option entries made after the final entry deadlines will incur late entry fees. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 19

26 Late entry dates and charges Submitting entries accurately and on time is critical to the successful delivery of OCR s services to centres, including the final production and delivery of results. Late entry fees are, therefore, applied in addition to the original entry fee, both to recover the costs associated with the additional processing requirements and to encourage centres to submit entries by the deadlines. Late entry fees will be applied as follows (fees are provided in the Fees List). Series Entry deadline Stage 1 late entry fees November Oct 5 Oct 4 Nov January 21 Oct 22 Oct 21 Nov (GCSE, Level 2 Award, Level 1/2 Certificate, Entry Level Certificate) (GCE, FSMQ, Principal Learning, Project, Level 3 Certificate) 21 Feb 22 Feb 21 Mar 21 Feb 22 Feb 21 Mar Stage 2 late entry fees/ tier changes 5 Nov onwards 22 Nov onwards 22 Mar onwards 22 Mar onwards Refunds for withdrawn entries available until 4 Nov 21 Nov 21 Mar 21 Apr Refunding withdrawn entries Withdrawals received up to the deadlines above will be refunded automatically. Withdrawals received after this deadline will not be eligible for a refund. he only exceptions to this are candidates withdrawn on medical grounds or following bereavement we will refund these entry fees if they are withdrawn up to one week before the results publication date (see Section 8.2). hese cases must be supported by a medical certificate or, in the case of a bereaved or deceased candidate, a letter on centre-headed paper. o claim a refund, please forward the supporting documentation together with a copy of the invoice to the Entries eam at OCRGQ.entryprocessing@ocr.org.uk. Querying a fees invoice o query an invoice, please forward a copy of the invoice and supporting documentation to OCR Credit Control at credit.control@ocr.org.uk, quoting your centre number and invoice number in all correspondence What entry information is required? Qualification details Entries are made using a four-digit entry code and option codes (where needed). hese details are provided in the Entry Codes booklet. 20 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

27 Candidates must be entered for the correct entry option. he option code can represent any of the following: A legitimate or true choice between papers For example, in the current GCSE History, each option determines which paper a candidate will take. A choice between tiers For example, Foundation and Higher. A choice between methods of moderation For many moderated units/components or externally marked speaking tests, the option specifies whether the work is uploaded electronically to the OCR Repository (see Section 5.9), submitted via post or, in some cases, moderated by a visiting moderator. For each of these units, all candidates work must be submitted using the same entry option. A choice to carry forward a candidate s result for an internal assessment. A choice between languages For GCSE Latin only (see Section 3.21). his subject is offered in Welsh as well as English, and the option determines the language in which the candidate will take the assessment. Example You have ten candidates taking GCSE Citizenship Studies (J269). here are two internally assessed units: For the Rights and Responsibilities unit (A341), you choose to submit the work via the OCR Repository so make ten entries for A341A (component 01). For the Identity, Democracy and Justice unit (A344), you decide to submit the work via post so make ten entries for A344B (component 02). You cannot have different submission methods within the same unit in the same series. A candidate must not be entered for more than one option for a single assessment in the same series. Candidate personal details You need to provide the following personal details for each candidate: Name Ensure names can be verified in future against legal documents. You should enter candidates under names that can be verified against suitable identification, such as a birth certificate, passport or driver s licence. You may need to check the name they are using within the centre is their legal name rather than a known as name. his helps prevent issues at a later date, when they need to verify they are the person named on the certificate. Please ensure candidates know the name they are entered under and use that on their exam script. Date of birth Be careful not to transpose the information We often receive requests to swap the day and month. Gender his is mandatory. he candidate s name and date of birth appear on the certificate exactly as you make the entry so, if you don t get it right, making changes after the certificate has been issued will mean you have to pay for replacement certificates (see Section 10). OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 21

28 Candidate number Candidates must be allocated a four-digit candidate number, which they will need to write on their question papers. Centres normally allocate these candidate numbers at the time of entry. You should ensure the four-digit candidate numbers are unique for the series and a GCSE candidate does not have the same number as a GCE candidate. Candidate numbers cannot be changed during a series. If you can, it is best to use the same candidate number throughout the candidate s exam career. Unique candidate identifier (UCI) he unique candidate identifier (UCI) is a 13-character code which is used as a unique attribute in addition to a candidate s name, gender and date of birth. he UCI is used mainly to link a candidate s unit results so they can be certificated. herefore, candidates must not be issued with multiple UCIs. A candidate s UCI should remain with them even if they move to a different centre or progress to higher qualifications. If you find a candidate has more than one UCI, please our Entries eam at OCRGQ.entryprocessing@ocr.org.uk from your centre s registered address with details of the UCIs in use and the candidate s name. We will then merge the candidate details. Any entries submitted without a UCI will be rejected and you will be requested to supply them. Examination administration software packages will usually have the facility to generate UCIs. Please check with your software provider. A UCI check character calculator is provided on the OCR website ( he following diagram shows the components of a UCI: A Centre number Normally National Centre Number but may include alpha characters (e.g. for international centres). Unitary awarding body (UAB) identifier Normally 0 (zero) unless there is a danger that the centre number is not unique, in which case the UAB code of the awarding body which allocated the centre number is used (e.g. OCR would use 1). Year of registration he last two digits of the academic year in which the UCI is allocated, e.g. any time in the academic year commencing September 2015 is 15. Candidate number Normally starting at 0001 and increasing within the academic year, but may be derived in other ways, provided that numbers are unique within the year. Check digit Used to verify keyed data. Provides a check that the first 12 characters are correct in relation to the check digit. Providing centres supply the first 12 digits, OCR can generate this. Unique learner number (ULN) he unique learner number (ULN) is a personal ten-digit number, which is used to ensure learner achievement information can be provided to the Personal Learning Record (PLR). If a candidate does not have a ULN, the ULN field should be left blank; you must not add a piece of placeholder text, such as or BC. Where a ULN is included with an entry, we will check the ULN and candidate details with the PLR. Candidate details submitted to OCR need to match exactly with those held on the PLR. If there are any differences, we will not be able to validate the ULN. his will not prevent your entries from being processed, but OCR will not be able to send result data to the PLR until 22 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

29 the ULN and candidate details held by OCR have been validated correctly with the PLR. If you need to make a change to a learner s details, you must update them in a number of places: Within the PLR Within your management information system You then need to send updated candidate details to OCR. For more information, and to generate a ULN, please refer to the Learning Records Service ( Private candidates OCR examinations are designed primarily for candidates who follow courses of study at schools and colleges acting as registered centres. However, there are learners who may not attend schools or colleges but who wish to enter for OCR examinations. hese are referred to as private candidates and must enter through a registered centre. If you wish to make an entry for a private candidate, please ensure the Private status is selected. It is also good practice to ask private candidates if they have any entries at another centre. his helps to avoid timetable clashes when the exams take place. Our Guidance for Private Candidates is available to download from the OCR website ( Methods of submitting final entries here are two methods of submitting final entries: A2C An electronic method of transmitting entry and results data to and from OCR using EDI (electronic data interchange) files. More information can be found on the A2C website ( Interchange OCR s secure extranet ( If your centre does not currently have an Interchange account, please complete and return the Interchange Agreement, which can be downloaded from the OCR website ( to receive your login details. If your centre has an account but you are a new user, or your existing account needs to be updated, please contact your Centre Administrator (usually the exams officer) Making entries via A2C Basedata o make entries via A2C, electronic entry files (EDI files) need to be created using OCR s basedata. Basedata is examination data which is used to process entries and results using EDI files. Designed to be electronically imported into a centre s administration software, it includes the specification codes, entry codes, timetables and fees. Basedata is seriesspecific and needs to be uploaded for each new series. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 23

It is important for you to be available once files have been submitted, in case we have any queries on your entries. Avoiding A2C entry issues Each series, many entry files fail to load to our systems, which leads to processing delays. o avoid any problems, please ensure you check the following: Correct EDI version Ensure your management information system (MIS) is set up to generate files in the current JCQ file format currently version 14. hese are defined in the JCQ document, Formats for the Exchange of Examination Related Data, available on the JCQ website ( If you are unsure which version you are using, check with your MIS provider. Correct basedata Use the right basedata for the series. More than one entry file Entry files begin with E. Amendment files begin with A. You should only produce one entry file for a series code, ensuring you generate amendment files beginning with A thereafter. here is no limit to the number of amendment files you can send us. However, if you send us more than one entry file, each new entry file will overwrite previous ones, which could mean previous entries are deleted. Amendment files If you make your initial entries via Interchange ( but submit EDI files subsequently, please ensure your system can generate EDI amendment files beginning with A straight away without producing an E entry file first. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 25

32 Different file extensions EDI files end with a number which indicates the sequence of production, for example x02. Please ensure your files end in different numbers; otherwise, they may overwrite each other during our processing, which could mean previous entries are deleted. Candidates without entries Please do not submit files including only a candidate s details, with no associated entries. Only include candidates that have entries for that series with OCR. We do not need details of the candidates you plan to enter in future series or with other awarding bodies.

You should select existing candidates rather than creating new ones; however, if you cannot find a candidate, you can enter their details. When searching for existing candidates, you can restrict the search to show only candidates added during a given time period, from today to in the last five years. Selecting entry options and submitting entries You will be asked to select your entry options, if applicable. (Please see Section 3.12 for guidance on choosing the right entry option.) You can then review your entries before submitting them. Please ensure you are submitting entries for the correct series. Update your management information system Once you have made your entries via Interchange, you must update your management information system with this entry information.

35 3.18 Identifying entry problems Many of the issues to look out for apply to all qualifications, as suggested below; however, we have also listed issues which relate specifically to the current GCE Maths, Classics and Art and Design qualifications, which have complex rules of combination. Please see the Entry Codes booklet for details of valid combinations. General issues When looking at the feedback documents and/or Interchange ( you may wish to consider the following general questions: Have the right entries been made? For the correct option and tier? Is the candidate eligible for certification? Should you have made the certification entry or do you need to withdraw it? If the candidate is taking a qualification for the second time, has a new certification entry been made? Are the candidate s details correct? Has the candidate s ULN validated? he following questions relate specifically to the certification warning report: Has the candidate been entered for the correct certification code? If some of the candidate s units are missing from the report, has the candidate got more than one UCI? Has the candidate been entered for a valid combination of units? For current GCSEs, has the % terminal rule been satisfied? For current GCEs, Principal Learning, Level 2 Award and Level 1/2 Certificate re-certifications, has the candidate taken any new units since the last certification? For current GCEs, has the candidate transferred from another specification (see Section 3.19)? Current GCE Mathematics Are some units locked? his is often the greatest problem within GCE Maths. It may appear as though a valid combination is possible, but if the candidate has entered for some certifications previously, some units may be locked to the original certification. Re-certification of all previously entered certifications solves this problem in almost all cases. Have the certification dependencies been satisfied? For example, it is only possible to certificate Further Mathematics if you certificate Mathematics as well; either at the same time or earlier (see Section 3.5 and the Entry Codes booklet for more details). Is there a valid combination of units for all entered certifications? Common errors include: he candidate wants to certificate AS Mathematics, but has not taken one of the three optional units permitted in AS Mathematics. he candidate wants to certificate A Level Mathematics, but they have not been entered for one of the seven pairs of optional units permitted for A Level Mathematics. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 29

36 he candidate wants to certificate for A Level Mathematics and A Level Further Mathematics, but all possible combinations for A Level Mathematics do not leave enough A2 units available for A Level Further Mathematics. Current GCE Art and Design and GCE Classics Are some units locked? If the candidate has entered for some certifications previously, some units may be locked or used up towards those certifications and not available for the new certifications. As long as there are enough units in total for all certifications, in most cases, re-certification of all previously entered certifications solves this problem. Have you entered the wrong certification code? Candidates do not need to be entered for the same subjects at AS and A2. For example, if they took two Classical Civilisation units at AS, and then one Classical Civilisation and one Ancient History at A2, they should be entered for AS Classical Civilisation (H041) followed by A2 Classics (H438). hey must not be entered for AS Classics (H038) AS ransfers AS ransfers are not available for the new GCE AS and A Levels (first teaching 2015). ransferring GCE credit from one specification to another Candidates who started a unitised GCE course at another centre that used a different specification (possibly from a different awarding body) may be able to apply to complete their course with OCR. Current regulations and an application form (Application for the transfer of a GCE AS award between specifications and/or awarding bodies) are available on the JCQ website ( your completed and signed applications to OCRASransfers@ocr.org.uk by the following deadline: Series Deadline 21 October 2015 We will consider whether to approve a combination of units to ensure the candidate has covered the whole course, but cannot guarantee the application will be accepted. his provision will not be possible when there is undue overlap between the already assessed content of the first specification and the remaining units of the second specification. Nor will it be possible if the candidate has already certificated the A2 with the original awarding body. Current GCE Mathematics and Further Mathematics o take OCR s current GCE AS or A Level Further Mathematics, candidates must previously have taken GCE AS or A Level Mathematics. However, candidates who completed AS or A Level Mathematics using a different specification (e.g. from a different awarding body) may take AS or A Level Further Mathematics with OCR. A manual certification form (Application for manual certification of Further Mathematics when AS/A Level Mathematics is from a different specification or awarding body), available on the OCR website ( must be completed. Further details can be found in the Current GCE section of the Entry Codes booklet. 30 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

37 Legacy and new specifications It is not possible to transfer credit from legacy specifications to new specifications. his includes the new qualifications involved in GCSE and A Level reform which are for first teaching from herefore, it is not possible for candidates to combine legacy and new units to make up a whole qualification. ransfer of credit is only possible between specifications that have been written to the same criteria, as specified by the regulator. Entry warnings In the case of a candidate transferring credit, we will not have that candidate s historical results on our system. You will, therefore, receive a certification warning report (see Section 3.17) but there will not be a problem (grades will be calculated manually for such candidates), as long as the transfer has been satisfactorily completed ransfer candidates ransferring centre after final entries (in exceptional circumstances) After final entries have been made, in exceptional circumstances, a candidate may transfer to another school or college. In these cases, the candidate remains the responsibility of the centre through which the entry was made and retains his/her candidate number and unique candidate identifier (UCI) throughout the examination series. o ensure the integrity of the examination process is maintained, candidates may transfer only to centres approved by one of the unitary awarding bodies. A JCQ ransferred Candidates Form (JCQ/C), available from the JCQ website ( must be completed and signed by the entering and host centres before being returned to OCR at the address on the form or to OCR.ransferredCandidates@ocr.org.uk by the following deadlines: Series Deadline November October 2015 January 1 December April Once we have approved the proposal, arrangements will be made for sending question papers, stationery and other essential materials to the centre to which the candidate is transferring (the host centre). It is essential the attendance register at the centre of entry clearly indicates the candidate has transferred to another centre do not write absent. We charge an administrative fee for the transfer of each candidate. Details can be found in the Fees List ( Any administrative fees charged by the host centre are the responsibility of the candidate s centre of entry. Where necessary, arrangements must be made between the two centres to complete any internal assessments and the associated marks must be submitted to OCR with the centre of entry s marks.

Informing OCR of your requirements Please use the JCQ form Request for Welsh Medium Papers to tell us you will have candidates taking units in Welsh for each series. his form is available to download from the relevant qualifications pages of the OCR website ( Please return the form to the address given on the form or by to as early as possible in the academic year, and by the date below at the latest. If you submit your form by , you will receive an automatic acknowledgement of its receipt. Series Deadline (GCSE Latin) 15 January Please ensure you include on the form all units for which you will require Welsh arrangements. We will use the information provided to ensure you are provided with a question paper in the medium of Welsh. Arrangements for externally assessed units When making entries, please note that the examined units have a specific entry option for assessment in Welsh. Please ensure you use the correct codes for both estimated and final entries (see the Entry Codes booklet). For assessment in Welsh, the entry code is suffixed with W. Specific Welsh question paper materials will be provided for candidates entered for the Welsh option. Please note: If a candidate entered for the Welsh option decides on the day of the exam to answer the English version of the paper (or vice versa), they will be classed as a pirate candidate. his means their entry will need to be amended to the correct option and the standard late entry fees will apply (see Section 3.11) 32 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

39 4 Access Arrangements 4.1 What are access arrangements? Access arrangements are made before an examination series to enable a candidate with particular requirements to demonstrate attainment. Detailed information about access arrangements can be found in the JCQ Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments. his is available on the JCQ website ( 4.2 Applying for access arrangements Access arrangements should be applied for as soon as possible after the course has begun: For GCSE and GCE qualifications, centres should use the online tool, Access Arrangements Online, which is accessed via Interchange ( to apply for appropriate arrangements for disabilities, learning difficulties, permanent or temporary conditions. Centres must record whether the candidate has a medical condition or a temporary injury. More information about Access Arrangements Online can be found on the JCQ website ( For all other qualifications (including vocational qualifications such as Cambridge Nationals, which are not covered in this Guide), where a candidate has been granted approval for GCSE/GCE via Access Arrangements Online, this approval will be automatically extended. For any application exclusively for other qualifications, please JCQ Form 1 or JCQ Form 8, as appropriate, to the OCR Special Requirements eam at ocrspecialrequirementsteam@ocr.org.uk. In all cases, centres should consider the nature of the assessment being undertaken. For example, a scribe or practical assistant would not be allowed in the realisation of design, performance and artwork. More information is available in the JCQ Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments, please see the JCQ website ( Emergency access arrangements Emergency access arrangements can be made for unforeseen circumstances arising at the time of the examination by applying online or via the appropriate forms above. Modified papers Access Arrangements Online also allows centres to request modified papers for GCSE, GCE, Entry Level and FSMQ timetabled assessments. However, these must be ordered separately in the relevant section of Access Arrangements Online and not as part of other Access Arrangement applications. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 33

40 4.3 Key dates Requests for modified question papers must be received by the following dates: Series Deadline November September 2015 January 4 October January * *For those candidates who decide to resit units in 2015, following the publication of the January 2015 examination results, applications for modified papers must be received by 21 March. All other access arrangements requests should be made by the following dates: Series Date November October 2015 January 21 October March It is possible to make applications after these dates; however, if a referral to OCR becomes necessary, we cannot guarantee we will be able to process the application in time for the assessment. For Physical Education, in some circumstances, specialist activities may allow candidates better access to the qualifications. In such cases a Special Activity Submission Form must be completed and returned to OCR by 15 October Forms can be downloaded from the relevant qualification page of the OCR website ( 34 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

41 5 Moderated Assessment Arrangements Key points Centres must make an entry for a unit or option in order for us to supply the appropriate forms and moderator details. Before submitting marks, centres must undertake a thorough check for accuracy against their source document. Centres can submit marks using Interchange ( A2C or internal assessment mark sheets (MS1s). Moderation cannot begin until OCR has received the marks. Moderated assessment arrangements include non exam arrangements, coursework, portfolios and controlled assessment, which are all referred to as candidate work. his section should be read in conjunction with the JCQ Instructions for conducting coursework, Instructions for conducting controlled assessments and Instructions for conducting nonexamination assessments (new GCE & GCSE specifications). All Instructions are available on the JCQ website ( Approximately one month before the exam series, centres can also view the OCR exams directory on Interchange which provides information on the materials that are required for each assessment they have made entries for. For details of how to present candidate work, please see the JCQ Instructions. 5.1 Consortium arrangements Where candidates from different centres have been taught together, you must inform us you wish to be treated as a consortium. he centres in the consortium must nominate a consortium co-ordinator, who liaises with us on behalf of all the centres. An Application for Centre Consortium Arrangements for centre-assessed work (Form JCQ/CCA), which is available from the JCQ website ( should be completed every series by the consortium co-ordinator for each specification that has one or more centre-assessed units/components. his includes Principal Learning consortia. he forms should be sent to OCR E&L Deployment, OCR, Progress House, Westwood Way, Business Park, Westwood Way, Coventry, CV4 8JQ or can be ed to raditionalcov.raditionalcov@ocr.org.uk by the following deadlines: Series Deadline November October 2015 January 31 October January We will allocate the same moderator to each centre in the consortium and the candidates will be treated as a single group for the purpose of moderation. he sample is selected randomly so it is possible not every centre in the consortium will receive a sample request. Moderator reports will be produced for the consortium sample and provided to each centre in the consortium, either by download from Interchange ( if the consortium centre was sampled, or in hard copy to arrive on restricted results release if the OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 35

42 consortium centre was not sampled. If scaling is required, the same scaling will apply to all centres in the consortium. 5.2 ext, task and title approval for new GCE qualifications For some of the new qualifications for first teaching from 2015, approval is required from OCR for the texts, tasks and/or titles of the non exam assessment that candidates will be carrying out: GCE A Level English Language and Literature (EMC) (H474) GCE A Level English Language (H470) GCE A Level English Literature (H472) GCE A Level History A (H505) Centres must submit the chosen texts, tasks and/or titles using an online form, which can be accessed via the relevant qualification pages of the OCR website. his must be done by 31 January in the year of submission for each series even if the same texts, tasks and/or titles have been approved previously. Centres should wait for approval before candidates begin working on their non exam assessment. Approval will be provided within ten working days of submitting the online form. 5.3 Carrying out internal assessment Locating internal assessment materials Centres can obtain materials as follows: Coursework materials are made available to centres on the basis of estimated entries. he exams directory will indicate whether these are sent out by OCR. Alternatively, they will be available to download from the OCR website ( GCSE controlled assessment tasks and other documents can be downloaded from Interchange ( Centre access to the Interchange controlled assessment area is available via the Interchange Centre Administrator (normally the exams officer). However, the Centre Administrator can allow others within their centre, e.g. heads of department, subject leaders or subject teachers, to access the materials by giving them the utor/eacher role within Interchange. schemes and criteria are included in the specifications and can be accessed from the OCR website. Entry Level English tasks can be downloaded from Interchange. Principal Learning controlled assessment tasks (known as the OCR Model Assignment for Principal Learning) and other documents can be downloaded from the relevant qualification pages of the OCR website ( AS/A Level Art and Design (from 2015) non exam assessment materials are sent to centres on the basis of estimated entries. hey will be available to download from the OCR website. See Section 6.1 for details of where to obtain materials for the endorsements. 36 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

43 When to obtain internal assessment materials Materials will be available as follows: Coursework materials will be made available to centres in October for the November series, December for the January series and March for the series. Please see the key dates calendars on the OCR website ( for details. GCSE controlled assessment tasks will be available (at the latest) on 1 of the year prior to an assessment series, i.e for assessment in. However, for certain subjects, they may be available up to two years in advance or even from the start of first teaching. asks will be regularly reviewed (often on a yearly basis) and it is the responsibility of centres to make sure candidates are submitting the correct task depending on when the centre is planning to submit the work to OCR. For GCSEs, centres can conduct the controlled assessment at any time during the course, but you must use the tasks that apply to the year in which the qualification is being certificated. Principal Learning controlled assessment tasks are available from the start of first teaching for the life of the assessment. Occasionally, new tasks, which can be used as alternatives, are uploaded to the OCR website. AS/A Level Art and Design (from 2015) non exam assessment materials will be available to download from the OCR website from 1 January and 1 February respectively in the year of assessment. 5.4 ing the assessments Centres should mark each piece of work according to the instructions and criteria provided in the specification for each unit. Forms to help you mark and administer candidate work many of them interactive are provided on the qualification pages of the OCR website ( Cover sheet his may be called a cover sheet, unit recording sheet or centre assessment form, depending on the specification. Complete one per candidate and attach it to the front of the work. Centre authentication form (CCS160) Complete one per unit/component. Authenticating candidates work Both candidates and centres must declare that the work is the candidate s own. Candidate authentication Each candidate must sign a declaration before submitting their work to their teacher to confirm the work is their own and any assistance given and/or sources used have been acknowledged. A candidate authentication statement that can be used is available to download from the OCR website ( It is the responsibility of centres to ensure every candidate does this; please see the JCQ Instructions for conducting controlled assessments and Instructions for conducting coursework which are available on the JCQ website ( hese statements should be retained within the centre until all enquiries about results, malpractice and appeals issues have been resolved. A mark of zero must be recorded if a candidate cannot confirm the authenticity of their work. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 37

44 Centre authentication eachers are required to declare the work submitted for internal assessment is the candidate s own work by sending the moderator (or uploading to the Repository) a centre authentication form (CCS160) for each unit at the same time as the marks. (his is also a requirement for private candidates.) If a centre fails to provide evidence of authentication, we will set the mark for that candidate to Pending (Q) for that component until authentication can be provided. See Section 6.4 for information about authenticating prerelease tasks for GCE Applied IC. Incomplete candidate work Where the internally assessed element of the specification requires candidates to produce several distinct pieces of work (e.g. three assignments or ten essays), a candidate who does not complete all parts must still be credited for the parts they have completed. Candidates who have an entry but do not submit any work for assessment must be recorded as absent. his means the candidate can be awarded a certification grade if they have completed other units which meet the requirements of the specification. See Section 5.7 for applications for special consideration. 5.5 Carrying out internal standardisation Centres must carry out internal standardisation to ensure marks awarded by different teachers are accurate and consistent across all candidates entered for the unit from that centre. If centres are working together in a consortium, you must carry out internal standardisation of marking across the consortium. It is the responsibility of centres to check the marks they are submitting carefully in order to minimise errors. You must ensure marks for all candidates, not just those in the sample, are checked for both addition and transcription errors before submission. Using the electronic methods of submitting marks as outlined in Section 5.6 will help reduce the risk of error. 5.6 Submitting marks and authentication Deadlines All marking and internal standardisation must be completed in good time and before the marks are submitted to OCR and the moderator. Please ensure marks are submitted to arrive by the following deadlines at the latest: Series Qualification Deadline November 2015 GCSE English and GCSE Maths 5 November 2015 January Entry Level Certificate, Level 1/2 Certificate, Principal Learning, Project 10 January GCE PE Units G452 (with the exception of summer-only activities) and G March GCE, GCSE, Entry Level Certificate, Level 1/2 Certificate, Level 3 Certificate, Principal Learning, Project 15 May 38 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

Moderation cannot begin until we have received all the marks. Submitting marks electronically (either via Interchange or A2C) allows marks to be loaded more quickly to our systems and reduces the risk of mark sheets being damaged or lost in the post. However, whichever method of submission is chosen, marks must also be posted to the OCR moderator (or uploaded to the OCR Repository). If there are 15 or fewer candidates, the work of all candidates needs to be sent to the moderator. In this case, the candidate work should be provided to the moderator at the same time as the marks and the centre authentication form (CCS160) are submitted. For GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355) Speaking and Listening Units A640, at the same time as sending marks, the centre must send the moderator the completed internal standardisation record together with the controlled assessment forms (GCW316) for a sample of seven candidates for each teaching group (including the top and bottom mark in the group and a spread across the intervening mark range). If a candidate did not produce work, the candidate should be submitted as absent rather than giving them zero marks or an X or leaving the mark blank. Using Interchange to submit marks eachers and other support staff can be given access to Interchange by their Centre Administrator in order to submit the marks: the Add coursework marks role allows you to enter marks and the Submit coursework marks role allows you to check marks and submit them to OCR. o submit marks, log in to Interchange, hover over Coursework and tests and click on Enter coursework marks in the left-hand menu. hen carry out the following steps: Enter and save marks. Check and save marks. Submit marks via the separate Enter and submit coursework marks page. We will not receive your marks until the Submit button has been clicked. You can see whether your marks are submitted by checking the status has changed to Submitted. Read and tick declaration. Finally, you need to print a copy of the marks (IMS1). Keep a copy for your centre and post a copy to the moderator with the centre authentication forms (CCS160) or upload them to the Repository. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 39

48 5.7 Special consideration Special consideration is a post-assessment adjustment reflecting temporary injury, illness or other indisposition at the time the assessment was taken. As assessments are designed to assess what the candidate knows and can do, some circumstances which affect learning or preparation (e.g. staffing difficulties) cannot be taken into account. Centres should refer to the JCQ A guide to the special consideration process for detailed information about eligibility. his is available on the JCQ website ( Incomplete internally assessed work Candidates who, for good reason, are unable to meet the full internal assessment requirements of a specification should submit as much work as possible. We may give special consideration if the candidate has actually submitted their work: Unitised qualifications (and linear qualifications with a unitised entry structure) Where internally assessed work is set in a very short, timetabled period, candidates who have not submitted any work cannot be given special consideration unless certification has been requested in the same series and the minimum requirements have been met (see above). Candidates must have been fully prepared for the course but unable to finish their writing up of the work. For ephemeral assessments (e.g. in subjects such as Physical Education, Music or Performance Studies), it is good practice to keep a record of participation and achievement by candidates on an ongoing basis throughout the course, using appropriate forms of evidence such as witness statements, awards achieved, performance logs/records and filmed evidence. he unit must otherwise be taken in a later series. Linear qualifications here will be no enhancement where the internally assessed component has not been submitted at all. A hash symbol (#) displayed next to the candidate s grade on results documents and certificates will indicate not all components were completed. Applying for special consideration Applications must be submitted to the OCR Special Requirements eam via the online tool, Special consideration online, which can be accessed via Interchange ( Applications must be submitted by the deadlines for receipt of marks (see Section 5.6) and must be accompanied by a breakdown of marks across assessment criteria. Enhancement is not always possible where components are testing different skills in different pieces of coursework or where only one piece is required. Lost or damaged internally assessed work If all or part of a candidate s work is lost or damaged inadvertently, in certain circumstances, we may make special arrangements to enable the candidate s attainment to be assessed. s should be submitted in the normal way and an application must be made via Special consideration online and a copy of the application must be sent to the moderator. Where this is not possible, a Notification of Lost Centre Assessed Work (JCQ/LCW Form 15), which is available from the JCQ website ( must be submitted to the moderator. Moderators should be informed of lost work applications only and should not be informed of candidate s circumstances relating to any present but disadvantaged applications. 42 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

49 If the candidate was included in the sample requested for moderation (see Section 5.8), the work of the candidate with the nearest mark should, where possible, be sent instead. 5.8 Sample requests Once you have submitted your marks to OCR and your moderator, you will receive a moderation sample request. If you are part of a consortium, we will wait until we have received marks from each centre before sending a sample request. If there are fewer than 15 candidates, all the work should have been submitted at the same time as the marks were submitted. Samples will include work from across the range of attainment of the candidates work. For GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355) Speaking and Listening Units A640, the sample is not requested by OCR, as you will have already selected the sample when you sent the marks to the moderator. Sample requests via For most specifications, you will receive a sample request via . A list of the exceptions, which will request the sample via post, is available on the internal assessment page of the OCR website ( entitled Electronic enhancements to moderation How moderators communicate with you. Once we have received your marks, you will receive an from no-reply@ocr.org.uk requesting a sample for moderation. s will be sent to the exams office address we hold for you within your centre records. his is not necessarily the address you use for your Interchange ( account. It is therefore essential this address is correct. If you need to change the address we hold for your exams officer, please notify us by ing the updated details as an attachment on centre-headed paper to the JCQ National Centre Number Register at ncn@ocr.org.uk. If you have already submitted all of your candidates work (if there were fewer than 15 candidates), please ignore the if the moderator has not received the work, they will contact you directly. If you receive more than one for the same specification, please read the carefully you may have received a request for an additional sample. An additional sample request will be sent if the moderator needs you to provide additional candidates work for moderation. 5.9 Submitting a sample of candidate work here are several ways to submit a sample, as described below. When making your entries, the entry option specifies how the sample of work for each unit is to be submitted. For each of these units, all candidate marks and work must be submitted to the moderator using the same entry option, as per Section 5.6. It is not possible for centres to offer both options for a unit within the same series, but you can choose different options for different units. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 43

50 Electronic candidate work (OCR Repository) he OCR Repository is a system which has been created to enable centres to submit candidate work electronically for moderation (and, in the case of MFL, for marking). It allows centre staff to upload work for several candidates at once but does not function as an e-portfolio for candidates. he OCR Repository is an option for most specifications. o check whether the OCR Repository is available for a specification, see the Entry Codes booklet. You should then select this option when you make your entries. Once you receive your sample request, you should upload the work to the OCR Repository within three days of receiving the request. o access the OCR Repository, you need either the Centre Administrator or utor/eacher role within Interchange ( Log in to Interchange hover over Coursework and tests in the left-hand menu and click on OCR Repository. It is good practice to store candidates documents using their four-digit candidate number at the beginning of the file name followed by an indication of the contents of the file. For example: _ ask1_report.doc Candidate number Indication of the file contents File extension his will allow you to use the bulk upload facility when submitting work, which matches the files electronically to the correct candidates. Individual files should be no larger than 20MB, but an unlimited number of files can be uploaded. However, you must ensure you submit the minimum number of files necessary to provide evidence of candidate achievement we would encourage you to collate documents wherever possible. It is the centre s responsibility to ensure any work submitted to OCR electronically is virusfree. Paper-based candidate work (postal moderation) he sample of candidate work must be posted to the moderator within three days of receiving the request. Please ensure the address on the moderator label corresponds to the address provided on the sample request. Please ensure you use labels for the correct series (not leftover labels from previous series). On rare occasions, work can get lost in the postal system. We strongly advise you to keep evidence of work submitted to the moderator, e.g. copies of annotated versions of written work or photographs of practical work. You should also obtain a certificate of posting for all work posted to the moderator. Please ensure you include a return address on the packaging, just in case there is a problem with the delivery. We recommend you do not use courier services or other specialist postage methods, as moderators may experience difficulty receiving deliveries, which can delay moderation. 44 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

51 Visiting moderation For some units/components (see the Entry Codes booklet), rather than posting or uploading the sample, the sample will be viewed by a visiting moderator. he moderator arranges a visit at a date and time convenient to both parties. For GCE/GCSE Art and Design (current and new specifications), the moderator will contact centres once the marks are received to arrange a visit. For the following qualifications, visit arrangement forms are sent to centres and can also be downloaded from the relevant qualification pages of the OCR website ( Forms should be returned to OCR by the following dates: Qualification Subject series ELC Physical Education (R462) 14 January GCE Physical Education (G452, G454) 14 January GCSE Physical Education (B452, B454)* 14 January *For GCSE PE Units B452 and B454, deadlines for submitting marks to the moderator can be found on the visit arrangement form External moderation Usually, unless a centre has accredited status (specific to Applied GCE) (see Section 5.11), internally assessed units are externally moderated. Moderation is designed to bring the marking of internally assessed units in all participating centres to an agreed standard by checking a sample of the marking of candidate work. Resolving issues with internal marking At this stage, centres may be required to resolve any issues the moderator discovers during the external moderation. Centres may receive one of the following requests, usually by . Exceptions, which will be sent by post, can be found on the internal assessment page of the OCR website ( in a document entitled Electronic enhancements to moderation How moderators communicate with you: Additional sample request If the moderator needs you to provide additional work for moderation, please ensure you respond as quickly as possible to ensure your candidates results are not delayed. Notification of clerical errors his is sent to advise you we have amended the internally assessed marks you provided, usually following an incorrect transcription or incorrect addition of the marks. If you disagree with the amendment, you should notify us as soon as possible (instructions are provided with the notification). Please encourage teachers to make use of the relevant subject-specific interactive assessment forms (where available) from the OCR website ( as this should help to reduce the number of clerical errors. Notification of invalid order of merit If, on the evidence of the sample, the moderator is not satisfied the marking has produced a single valid and reliable order of merit of your candidates performances, the work will be returned to you to re-mark. You will need to submit the new marks to OCR and return the sample to the moderator before moderation can continue. Please ensure you respond as quickly as possible to ensure your candidates results are not delayed. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 45

52 5.11 Centre accreditation (Applied GCE only) If your centre demonstrates accurate marking of internally assessed units, you may be offered accredited status (by specification and level). his means you do not need to submit work for moderation for those specifications within a specified period. he standard accreditation period begins in the series of the academic year in which it is granted and lasts for the following two academic years. However, accreditation periods may differ in length for a number of reasons and you will be informed of any changes to your accreditation status before each series. Reasons include: If A2 Level accreditation is acquired in a subsequent series to AS accreditation, the A2 accreditation period will be shorter than the AS. he AS and A2 end dates will match (see example below): Level Start date End date Length of accreditation period AS 2014 hree series A wo series If a centre is selected for random sampling for AS Level only and scaling is not applied, the AS end date will extend, but the A2 will not. If the centre is subsequently selected for random sampling for A2 Level and scaling is not applied, the A2 end date will extend to match the AS end date. Consequently, the A2 will have a shorter extended accreditation period (following reaccreditation) than the AS Level has (see example below): AS A2 January Gained accreditation Gained accreditation Sampled Reaccredited until Sampled Reaccredited until Accreditation period ends Accreditation period ends Eligibility for accreditation is offered to a Programme Leader (nominated by the centre), who is responsible for the standardisation of internal assessment and must be personally involved in the assessment of candidates work. he eligibility criteria which centres must meet are as follows: AS Level Must demonstrate competence of marking in at least two units. Must have entries of five or more candidates (with marks) for at least two units. Must not have scaling applied to any unit within the specification. For Applied Art and Design, either Unit F142 or F143 must be included, as these are OCR-set, teacher-marked and OCR-moderated units. AS and A2 Level Must be accredited or eligible for accreditation at AS Level. Must demonstrate competence of marking in at least three units (of which two must be at AS Level and one must be at A2 Level). 46 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

53 In addition to the required AS entries described above, must have entries of five or more candidates (with marks) for at least one A2 unit. Must not have scaling applied to any unit within the specification at either level. For Applied IC, Unit G048 must be included, which is an OCR-set, teacher-marked and OCR-moderated unit. For Applied Art and Design, Unit F149 must be included, which is an OCR-set, teacher-marked and OCR-moderated unit. In each examination series, a number of accredited centres will be randomly selected for moderation as part of the control procedure. Every accredited centre will be sampled at least once in every period of accreditation. If random sampling shows moderator adjustments are required, that centre will no longer have accredited status for that specification. Moderator adjustment of an AS unit removes all accreditation, whereas adjustment of an A2 unit removes A2 accreditation only. he normal moderation process will be resumed for all further series until accreditation is offered again. As accredited status is awarded to a Programme Leader based on their accurate marking, it must be reviewed when a centre informs OCR of a change to that Programme Leader. his may result in the removal of a centre s accredited status for the subject concerned. Centres must ensure that: he Head of Centre/exams officer provides the Programme Leader details and initially accepts accreditation for each level. OCR is informed immediately if the Programme Leader leaves the post or their responsibilities change with respect to the specification(s) by ing centre.accred@ocr.org.uk. All marks are submitted to OCR by the published deadlines (marks should not be sent to the moderator unless you have been selected for random sampling). Centre authentication forms for accredited units (with entries) are completed and ed to centre.auth@ocr.org.uk each series. Centres must have work available in case they receive requests for work required for awarding purposes Outcomes of moderation Centres will usually receive the outcome of moderation when the provisional results are issued (see Section 8.2). he following reports will be issued via Interchange ( Moderation adjustments report his lists any scaling that has been applied to internally assessed units or components. Moderator report to centres his is a brief report by the moderator on the internal assessment of candidates work. For a few units/components, the reports will be sent in hard copy on results publication day (rather than being published online). A list of these is available from the OCR website ( in a document entitled Electronic enhancements to moderation How moderators communicate with you. For consortia, a single report will be produced for centres sampled in the consortium. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 47

54 Centres may request a review of moderation of internally assessed coursework or a review of marking of externally assessed coursework by submitting an enquiry about results (see Section 9.1). If one centre in a consortium submits an enquiry about results, the work must be available from all the centres, as it is the original sample that is reviewed Use of candidate work If work was posted to OCR for moderation or selected during visiting moderation, it will normally be returned to centres. However, we may be required to retain some items as exemplar material for awarding, regulation and archive purposes. We will inform you if work is required. In some circumstances, we may need to request work from a centre. In such cases, your co-operation in supplying material is much appreciated. Candidate work should be retained by centres for a minimum of six months from submission Externally assessed coursework/controlled assessment For externally assessed coursework or controlled assessment, e.g. GCSE French Writing (A704), candidate work should be submitted to OCR by the deadlines listed in Section OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

55 6 Arrangements for Orals, Practicals, Performances and Set Assignments Key point Centres must make estimated entries so that materials can be supplied and examiners/moderators allocated in time (see Section 3.3). 6.1 Current/new GCE Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) Access to practical tasks and activities Where practical tasks are set by OCR, they may only be obtained by downloading them from Interchange ( (you will need the Science Co-ordinator role to access these materials, even if you already have the Centre Administrator role). Details of the units concerned are given in the specifications, and instructions and further guidance are provided in the Practical Skills Handbooks (for GCE). hese documents are available from the OCR website ( It is the centre s responsibility to ensure downloaded tasks, mark schemes, instructions (including any copies made of these documents) and candidates scripts are stored securely. Subject staff must trial practical tasks before they are attempted by candidates, to ensure appropriate materials and equipment are available and the experiments work and generate the data expected. Please check Interchange before using a task for assessment to ensure no modifications have been posted. Advance Notice materials including for the new practical endorsements In the following specifications, candidates will need to study Advance Notice materials in preparation for questions on external examination papers: Current and new Chemistry B (Salters) Current Human Biology Current and new Physics B (Advancing Physics) New Biology B (Advancing Biology) Advance Notice materials for the above units/components will be available on the qualification pages of the OCR website ( as follows: Series Available from (current AS/A Levels only) 13 March 2017 (current AS/A Levels and new A Levels) 13 March 2017 Hard copies will be supplied in the examination only. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 49

56 alert service alert services are available for GCE Sciences. o be notified by when changes are made to GCE subject pages and Advance Notice materials are published, please the following addresses, including your centre number, centre name, contact name and the name of the GCE specification in the subject line. Current GCE A Level Sciences GCEsciencetasks@ocr.org.uk New GCE A Level Sciences positiveaboutpractical@ocr.org.uk We recommend that the Head of Science or eacher in Charge Biology/Chemistry/Physics at all centres registers for these services. New A Level Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) practical endorsement (from 2015) he practical skills and techniques relevant for each science will be assessed directly using the Common Practical Assessment Criteria (CPAC) in the practical endorsement. he practical endorsement will be reported separately on the certificate with a straightforward pass or not classified. he assessment of the practical endorsement is undertaken by teachers as they directly observe students carrying out practical activities. Quality assurance of the practical endorsement will be through visiting monitors from the awarding organisations. As the practical activities for the endorsement take place throughout the two years of the A Level course, monitoring will also take place throughout the duration of the course (i.e. visits could be in either the first or second year of the A Level). Each centre will be monitored once during the two years in one of the sciences, with that visit being limited to one of the sciences, except for very large centres who will be monitored for all sciences. he monitor who visits will be appointed by the awarding organisation with which the centre has registered for the science selected for the visit. here is a distinct difference between monitoring and moderation, particularly in that the monitoring process is not intended to moderate (adjust) individual candidates results. Rather it is to ensure that the centre is applying the CPAC, implementing the procedures and maintaining records as required to fulfil the requirements of the practical endorsement, as laid down in the specification. In the first year of teaching, monitoring will not take place until January and it will not take place during the summer examination period. In subsequent years monitoring can take place from September, as A Level students are expected to have been undertaking work towards the practical endorsement and then continue until the start of the summer examination period. By the end of September 2015 (and each September thereafter), each centre should register details for each science detailing the awarding organisation whose specification they intend to deliver and the named lead teacher for each science. his registration is free of charge and does not commit you to a specific awarding organisation for your final entries. If you have any questions about the practical activities, please pass@ocr.org.uk. More information about how to register will be sent to centres at the start of September OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

57 6.2 GCSE (9 1) English Language Spoken Language endorsement he centre is responsible for task setting for the Spoken Language endorsement. Candidates must undertake a prepared spoken presentation on a specific topic. As a guide, the duration should be no more than ten minutes. eachers should assess candidates live, using the common assessment criteria which have been developed collaboratively by the awarding bodies. Centres are required to submit audio visual evidence of presentations for a sample of their candidates. Centres with 30 or fewer candidates are required to provide audio visual evidence of the presentations of all candidates at the centre. he assessments for these small cohorts may be carried out using the audio visual recordings. Centres must not assess some candidates live and others from recordings, unless there are exceptional circumstances. More information about how to submit audio visual evidence will be provided later in the year. Centres must make arrangements for internal standardisation of assessments. eachers will assess candidates performances and award a result, Pass, Merit or Distinction, using a competency approach with common assessment criteria which have been developed collaboratively by the awarding bodies. Candidates who do not reach the Pass standard will be recorded as Not Classified. Further details are given in the Spoken Language guidance outlined in the specification and in the support materials provided on the OCR website ( Monitoring arrangements are in place for the Spoken Language endorsement to ensure that centres are using the assessment criteria correctly and are applying the national standards accurately when assessing their candidates. Awarding bodies will carry out monitoring by assessing samples of presentations from the audio visual recordings made by centres. More information about the monitoring arrangements will be sent to centres later in the year. 6.3 Art and Design practical examinations his information relates to Entry Level Certificate, GCSE, GCE and Applied GCE Art and Design. Centres are reminded Art examinations are public examinations and they must comply with the JCQ Instructions for conducting examinations, available on the JCQ website ( For example, no music is allowed in the examination room. Question paper despatch and security Question papers will be sent on the basis of estimated entries (see Section 3.3). Once the question papers arrive, the subject teacher can have brief access to them in the Exams Office (in the presence of the exams officer) to ensure adequate resources are available for candidates during their examination. he papers must then be stored securely until given to candidates. For Applied GCE (H013/H213/H413/H613) Units F142, F143 and F149, question papers are despatched earlier (in May of the previous academic year), on the basis of preliminary entries (see Section 3.2). he question papers can be viewed as soon as they are received, and can be made available to candidates at any time to suit centres. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 51

58 ime allocation he table below outlines the amount of controlled examination and preparation time allocated to a specific qualification: Qualification Examination window Examination time Preparation time Entry Level Certificate/GCSE Applied GCE GCE AS GCE Advanced 1 January to marks submission on 15 May None specified; marks to be submitted by 15 May 1 February to marks submission on 31 May 1 February to marks submission on 31 May 10 hours (including one block of 3 hours) No time limit Determined by centre No time limit 5 hours 3 weeks minimum 15 hours 3 weeks minimum hese time limits must not be exceeded. All candidates must be given all the hours allocated for their examination. If a minimum or maximum preparation or examination time is not specified, this can be determined by centres. Weeks refers to school teaching weeks. Preparatory and examination periods For the AS/Advanced Level qualifications (H160/H560), candidates must label their work as either preparatory or controlled assignment. Candidates can discuss ideas with the teacher during the preparatory period. Candidates must not communicate with each other during the examination period. Candidates should take their preparatory work into the examination at the start and, from that point onwards, no work for an examined unit should leave the centre. After the start of the examined time, candidates are not allowed to add any work to their preparatory work or bring in any additional work for the examination. All preparatory and examination work should be left in the room and then locked away. his must happen after each examination sitting if the examination runs over more than one day. After the allotted examination time has been completed, work should again be stored securely awaiting marking and internal standardisation. Electronic resources Centres must also ensure use of computers during the examination (i.e. the supervised time period in the OCR-set task or controlled assignment) is controlled as per the examination regulations. herefore, access to computers and the Internet needs to be monitored and even restricted if necessary. Work stored electronically must be stored safely and securely, i.e. candidates must not be able to access it outside the examination time. If candidates save their work using devices such as data sticks, these must be left in the examination room and the centre should have a backup procedure in place should the data stick become corrupted. Invigilation he art teacher is allowed to be the sole invigilator of the examination, since s/he should be aware of any health and safety issues and can provide clarification for candidates. 52 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

59 Authentication It is the centre s responsibility to authenticate each submission, including preparatory work, as the candidate s own work (see Section 5.4). Centres must also be satisfied the work was completed solely in the allocated time. Centres must retain all candidates work until results have been issued. Work should not be released under any circumstances (for example, for candidates to take to an interview) until the centre is absolutely clear that an enquiry about results is not required. 6.4 Authenticating pre-release tasks (GCE Applied IC) hree GCE Applied IC units (G041, G054 and G055) have pre-release tasks and a case study which, together with the examination, provide the external assessment for the unit. he tasks and case study are sent to centres on the basis of estimated entries. Candidates can be given the pre-release tasks at any time before the examination, but it is essential candidates are adequately prepared before starting the pre-release tasks. he work produced in response to the pre-release tasks must be submitted to the teacher when it is completed and kept secure until it is returned to the candidate at the start of the examination. his work should be submitted, in its entirety, with the question paper at the end of the examination. Both candidates and centres must declare that the work is the candidate s own: Each candidate must sign a declaration before submitting their work to their teacher to confirm the work is their own. A candidate authentication statement (CCS271) available from the OCR website ( should be retained within the centre. eachers are required to declare the work submitted is the candidate s own work. A centre authentication form (CCS272) available from the OCR website should be completed and sent with the examination scripts to the examiner. 6.5 Speaking tests (MFL) he speaking tests for AS/Advanced Level GCE and GCSE take place as follows: Series Qualification esting window GCE AS/Advanced 15 March 15 May GCSE externally assessed: Dutch, Gujarati, Persian, Portuguese, urkish 7 March 15 May GCSE controlled assessment: French, German, Spanish No specified date: please refer to the OCR Guide to Controlled Assessment Speaking for full instructions. his is available from the qualification pages of the OCR website ( Centres will be allocated examiners/moderators based on both estimated and final entries. Materials are despatched based on estimated entries. It is, therefore, very important to make estimated entries for these tests. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 53

60 Confidential materials can be opened as follows: GCE hree working days before the set date (unless there is a visiting examiner, in which case they should be given to the examiner unopened when s/he arrives at the centre). GCSE Four working days before the set date. eachers must ensure sufficient time to prepare and familiarise themselves with the materials and procedures. Materials must not be removed from the centre. GCE externally assessed speaking tests In the French, German and Spanish GCE AS and Advanced specifications, there are three submission options (centres should choose one option for each unit when making entries): Option A (Component 01) Centres record candidates tests digitally in MP3 format and upload them to the OCR Repository. Option B (Component 02) Centres record candidates tests digitally in MP3 format, copy them onto CD and post them to an OCR examiner. Please ensure CDs are finalised before sending so they can be played on all devices. Option C (Component 03) Centres can be provided with a visiting examiner if they have a minimum of 20 candidates. Centres should send a completed visit arrangement form to OCR by 10 January, using the address given on the form. his will then be sent to a visiting examiner, who will contact the centre. Centres will be sent: Assessor details Instructions for the conduct of speaking tests Working mark sheets interactive electronic forms are available from the OCR website ( Oral opic Form Blank CDs (components 02 and 03 only) please ensure you retain these in the centre until the tests take place. Unless there is a visiting examiner, centres should complete the working mark sheets with details for all candidates and send these with the completed Oral opic Form and the recordings of all candidates to the examiner, or upload all of these to the OCR Repository (depending on the entry). GCSE moderated speaking tests (French, German and Spanish) For GCSE French, German and Spanish specifications for both the full GCSE and the Spoken Short Courses there are two submission options (centres should choose one option for each unit when making entries): Option A Components 01 and 03. Option B Components 02 and 03. he components are as follows: Component 01 Centres conduct and mark ask 1. he task is recorded digitally in MP3 format and a sample is uploaded to the OCR Repository for moderation. 54 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

61 Component 02 Centres conduct and mark ask 1. he task is recorded digitally in MP3 format and a sample is copied to a CD and posted to an OCR moderator. Please ensure CDs are finalised before sending so they can be played on all devices. Component 03 Centres conduct and mark ask 2. he mark is recorded on the same working mark sheet as ask 1 and the mark sheet is either uploaded to the OCR Repository or posted to the OCR moderator (depending on the entry). Centres will be sent: OCR Instructions for the recording and submission of digitally recorded speaking tests (form CWI747) Internal assessment mark sheets (MS1) Blank CDs (components 02 and 03 only) Working mark sheets interactive electronic forms are available from the OCR website ( Moderator details. All related forms and instructions are available on the OCR website. For all moderated components, teachers must assess candidates work according to the specification, the information given in Section 5 of this Guide and the JCQ Instructions for conducting controlled assessments, available on the JCQ website ( s should be submitted as described in Section 5.5. GCSE externally assessed speaking tests For GCSE Dutch, Gujarati, Persian, Portuguese and urkish specifications, all speaking tests are conducted in the centre no visiting examination for GCSE speaking tests is available. Centres record candidates tests digitally in MP3 format and copy them onto CD. Centres must then ensure the CD is complete: recordings should be checked on a different player before posting them to the OCR examiner. Centres will be sent: Assessor details Instructions for the conduct of speaking tests Blank CDs Working mark sheets interactive forms are available from the OCR website. Centres should complete the working mark sheets with details for all candidates and send these and the recordings of all candidates to the examiner. he original recordings must be kept securely as we may need additional copies if the CD does not reach the examiner or the examiner is unable to access the recordings. Please ensure CDs are finalised before sending so they can be played on all devices. 6.6 Listening tests in Languages and Music Centres will be supplied with a CD for the listening tests. (hese may be retained after the examination. Please contact the OCR Assessment Production eam at ocr.copyright@ocr.org.uk should you wish to reuse the CD after the exam.) We strongly advise centres to hold the listening test in a room which is suitable for no more than 30 candidates. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 55

62 If a centre has equipment which is especially powerful, more candidates may be accommodated without special permission, but no applications for special consideration will be considered on the grounds of inaudibility. Language laboratories may be used, but particular care must be taken to ensure adequate supervision. he use of digital playback is permitted and the normal security requirements apply. Certain specifications allow the use of personal CD players with headphones. Checking GCSE and GCE recordings Listening tests in Languages Listening CDs must be spot-checked for recording and sound quality upon receipt. In order to check the acoustics, one of the CDs (GCSE) should be spot-checked in the examination room in accordance with the instructions supplied with the CDs. he CDs must not be listened to in full and must not be removed from the centre for checking. After each check, the materials must be returned to the centre s confidential examination materials store. Centres should contact OCR if equipment fails during the examination in order to make alternative arrangements for the conduct of the recorded listening test. Listening tests in Music he CD(s) must be spot-checked for recording and sound quality two working days before the date of the examination, preferably in the exam room using the playback equipment that will be used for the tests. For GCE, a single selected CD should be fully checked using the same equipment to be used by candidates if possible. CDs must not be removed from the centre for checking. After each check, the recording must be returned to the centre s confidential examination materials store. Conduct of the listening test In GCE AS/Advanced Level specifications, the operation of the listening CD is under the control of the individual candidates. In specifications where the recordings are controlled by the invigilator, the CD, once started, must not be stopped except in the case of a serious emergency. Noise from outside the examination room does not constitute a serious emergency and the recording must not be stopped in these circumstances. Candidates should be warned of this before the test begins. In the event of the CD being stopped in a serious emergency, it should be restarted at exactly the same place once the emergency has been dealt with. A statement from the invigilator indicating at which point on the recording the interruption took place, the nature of the incident and the length of the interruption, should be included with the candidates scripts. If there is good reason to doubt whether certain items have been heard by all candidates, these items should be identified in the report and the reason for doubt given. 6.7 extual analysis in GCSE and GCE Media Studies he textual analysis examination papers for GCE Media Studies (G322/3) and GCSE Media Studies (B322/3) each comprise a textual analysis activity where candidates have to analyse an excerpt provided on DVD by OCR (audio extract only for G323). For Unit B323, candidates have to analyse an excerpt from a lifestyle magazine (the hardcopy excerpt is provided by OCR). Centres need to follow carefully the instructions to teachers, which are issued with these DVDs, and ensure DVDs are checked (as stated in the instructions) two working days before the exam, maintaining confidentiality at all times. 56 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

Qualification Visit arrangement deadline Entry Level Certificate, GCE AS/Advanced, GCSE 14 January Moderation is usually by means of cluster groups based on geographical distribution. Moderators will contact centres to provide details of the date and venue of the cluster moderation meeting. Filmed evidence of candidates performances should be retained by centres. his is a requirement for all activities; centres should retain filmed evidence for all activities offered in case of candidate injury, centre appeal or issues which prevent moderation visits. Full details about the quantity, range and format of the filmed evidence required can be found in the relevant specifications and associated support materials on the OCR website ( 6.9 GCSE and GCE Design and echnology: Innovation Challenge in Product Design he Designing and Making Innovation Challenges, for GCSE Design and echnology (Unit A552) and GCE Design and echnology (Unit F521), are teacher-led externally examined units, which are primarily designed to take place in a design room, studio or workshop rather than an examination hall. GCSE Design and echnology: Unit A552 Centres have a window in which they can run the Designing and Making Innovation Challenge examination for Unit A552: Series esting window 1 April 21 he activity lasts six hours 30 minutes, during which time the candidates record information in an OCR answer booklet. It is usual to run the activity over three sessions: two three-hour sessions followed by a 30 minute session. Once centres have decided when they wish to run the challenge, they must let OCR know so that OCR can arrange to collect the work of a sample of centres for examiner standardisation. o do this, please return a visit arrangement form by the deadline below. Forms are available to download from the relevant qualification page of the OCR website ( Series Visit arrangement deadline 1 April Work not selected for standardisation must be sent to the allocated examiner as soon as the last session is completed. Full instructions concerning the conduct and pace for running this unit are provided in the eachers notes (available from the OCR website). 58 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

65 GCE Design and echnology: Unit F521 Unit F521 is a seven-hour design challenge set by OCR, to be held under normal exam conditions. It is taken in two three-hour sessions over the period of one day in a design studio environment, and a one-hour session at a later date in an examination hall. All sessions are completed on dates set by OCR, which are available in the timetables on the OCR website ( A theme is released in September prior to the examination. Each theme runs for a year, enabling students to research and gather resources to form a personal handling collection known as a job bag. here is a teacher script that guides the activities through sessions one and two. Centres preparing for the challenge must consider in detail the teacher script and use this and the theme to establish the nature of the job bag, which the candidates have limited time to access during the challenge. Photocopied pages, books and printouts of webpages (with material lists, swatches, iconic design for instance) are all permitted. Computers are also permitted, but the Internet must be disconnected. However, please note candidates may find using Computer Aided Design packages more time-consuming than hand sketching in this environment, and therefore may risk losing marks. Materials bought into the examination which might aid candidates when sitting the F521/02 paper, such as revision notes or theory notes, must not be attached to the F521/01 answer paper; this paper is handed out to candidates in session two. Any evidence of this will be treated as malpractice. Once candidates have started session two, they cannot add additional work to the boxes in session one, although they are able to refer to this work. he answer booklet from sessions one and two must be retained by the centre in a secure location until it is issued again for session three, the Reflection est. Candidates may not take their job bag or their model from the earlier sessions into the Reflection est examination. Further instructions concerning the conduct and pace for running this unit are provided in the eachers notes, available from the OCR website. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 59

66 7 Examination Arrangements Key points his section must be read in conjunction with the JCQ Instructions for conducting examinations, available on the JCQ website ( instructions-for-conducting-examinations). You will receive question papers at least five working days before the relevant exam. You must return examination scripts, together with the completed attendance register(s), on the same day as the examination. If this is not possible, please keep them secure overnight and send them within one working day. Scripts for different components must not be sent in the same envelope, even if the address is the same. Please make applications for special consideration within seven days of the last examination in the series in each subject. 7.1 Examination regulations Regulations governing examination arrangements are contained in the Instructions for conducting examinations (published by the JCQ on behalf of the awarding bodies) and within this section of this Guide. 7.2 Contingency planning For the academic year 2015/16, and with effect from the examination series onwards, all centres must have an examination contingency plan/examinations policy on file for inspection. he Joint contingency plan in the event of widespread disruption to the examination system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, which can be downloaded from is a good starting point. 7.3 imetabling of examinations he common structure of the timetable is agreed by all the JCQ awarding bodies and many factors are considered. We do not timetable examinations for weekends, bank holidays or school holidays, and religious festivals are taken into account wherever possible. We also use clash statistics from previous series to avoid major clashes and feedback from centres to identify significant problems. he provisional timetables are produced approximately a year in advance of an examination series and, once they are available, centres have two months to comment. If we do not receive any feedback, we assume centres are happy with the timetables. 60 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

67 For the following series, feedback should be sent to the JCQ at by the following dates: Series Deadline November 31 January April For the following series, feedback should be sent to OCR at by the following date: Series Deadline January March imetables can be viewed via the OCR website ( Start and finish times he published start times for examination sessions are 9.00am and 1.30pm. Candidates are not permitted to take a paper before the date shown on the timetable. Managing timetable clashes and variations Any clashes of OCR examinations will be reported on a timetable clash report (see Section 3.17). It may, therefore, be necessary to implement timetable variations. For guidance on how to manage timetable variations, please refer to the JCQ Instructions for conducting examinations, available on the JCQ website ( instructions-for-conducting-examinations). Most variations can be managed by centres, provided appropriate supervision is maintained and all guidelines laid down in the guidance are followed. he JCQ form imetable Variation and Confidentiality Declaration for Overnight Supervision must be completed before the exam and kept on file within your centre. It must not be sent to OCR. It can be found on the JCQ website ( For unplanned situations or circumstances not specifically outlined in the JCQ Instructions for conducting examinations, please your requests to ocrspecialrequirementsteam@ocr.org.uk, quoting imetable Variation and your centre number in the subject line. Additional sessions Centres that have insufficient equipment to enable all their candidates to take an examination at the same time may arrange one or more additional sessions, as long as the normal security arrangements are applied (see the JCQ Instructions). However, accurate seating plans and attendance records for each session must be kept and may be asked for by OCR at any time up to the enquiries about results deadline (see Section 9.1).

68 7.4 Despatch of materials from OCR Despatch of question papers Question papers are despatched to arrive in centres at least five working days before the relevant exam. Question papers are provided on the basis of final entries for a particular unit or component and thus we cannot guarantee question papers will be supplied where late entries have been made less than two weeks before the examination date. We recommend you check thoroughly you have submitted all final entries before the deadline and received all the relevant materials in advance of the examination. Under exceptional circumstances, we can make question papers available for secure download from Interchange ( shortly before the start of the examination. Please contact the Customer Contact Centre (see Section 1.5) if you have not received the necessary materials for an exam. he regulations governing the security of question papers are contained within the JCQ Instructions for conducting examinations, available on the JCQ website ( Despatch of early question paper materials Early question paper material for particular units or components is despatched to centres based on entry information (usually estimated entries). Instructions for the distribution of the materials to candidates are included within the despatch. he dates for the despatches of early question paper materials are given on the OCR Key Dates document, which can be downloaded from the OCR website ( Attendance registers Attendance registers and instructions for their use will be sent to centres before the examination. Please indicate presence or absence of candidates; all candidates listed on the attendance register should have an annotation. If you know the candidate has withdrawn, please cross through their candidate number and name. Do not forget to include on the attendance register those candidates who have: Been entered late and whose names do not appear on the register (even if they are absent) aken the exams in separate rooms ransferred elsewhere mark them as ransferred to [centre no]. Accurate attendance records for each session must be kept and may be asked for by us at any time up to the enquiries about results deadline (see Section 9.1). he names on the attendance register must match the names on the scripts. If a candidate has used a different name on the script, please indicate this on the attendance register. Examination stationery Stationery items such as envelopes, graph paper, drawing paper and data booklets are sent to centres before the examination. A list of contents is provided for checking purposes and a list of all the items can be found in the exams directory, which is available from Interchange.

Heads of Centre/exams officers must ensure they have everything they require well in advance of the examination. Formulae booklets are issued by us for use in Mathematics examinations of certain specifications and, where appropriate, will include mathematical and statistical tables. Candidates must not take their own copies of tables or formulae booklets into the examination room. Centres will receive one copy of the appropriate booklet for each candidate for the series. Examination stationery must be stored under secure conditions. As the adhesive on envelopes can deteriorate over time and we supply new ones each series, please ensure you dispose of the old ones. A use-by date can be found in the bottom right-hand corner of some envelopes. You should not be able to reopen a sealed envelope without damaging it. Please check envelopes containing scripts are securely sealed before despatching them. It is also worth checking there is an OCR return address on the label or the packet in case there is a problem with the delivery of the scripts. Either OCR, 1 Hills Road, Cambridge, CB1 2EU, or DC10 (OCR) Hill Farm Road, CB22 4FZ, can be used for this purpose. Answer booklets Information about answer booklets will be found on the front cover of relevant question papers, in the grey box under the heading of OCR Supplied Materials. In most cases, a generic answer booklet will be supplied. hese are sent to centres separately from question papers, as part of the general exam stationery despatch. hese are 12-page answer booklets (OCR12) and four-page continuation booklets (OCR4). o find out which units require the use of the 12-page generic answer booklet, please consult the exams directory, which is available from Interchange. In a few cases, a specific answer booklet may be required. hese are sent to centres as part of the confidential question paper despatch and come in three formats: Answer booklet with the question paper inserted he front covers of the answer booklet and question paper give details of the assessment they are to be used for. As the grey box on the front cover of the answer booklet says, the question paper should be inserted into the booklet. Question paper with an answer booklet inserted he front covers of the question paper and answer booklet give details of the assessment they are to be used for. As the grey box on the front cover of the question paper says, the answer booklet should be inserted. Answer booklet separate from the question paper If the answer booklet is not provided as an insert, it will be sent in a separate envelope in the same despatch as the question paper. Remember: the correct answer booklet must be used for each paper. If a candidate runs out of space, they should be given one or more of the OCR four-page continuation booklets (OCR4) to continue their answers. Continuation booklets are sent as part of the general exam stationery despatch. he candidate s name, candidate number, centre number and unit code must be clearly written on any continuation booklets, which should be inserted inside their exam script or 12-page answer booklet. reasury tags should not be used.

70 Ordering additional assessment materials If you require any additional stationery or assessment materials, please the Customer Contact Centre (see Section 1.5). 7.5 Posters he JCQ Notice to Candidates is now called Information for candidates and is only issued electronically. he JCQ No Mobile Phones Poster and the JCQ Warning to Candidates are similarly only issued electronically. he JCQ No Mobile Phones Poster must be displayed outside the exam room. he posters are available on the JCQ website ( 7.6 Reporting suspected malpractice It is the responsibility of the Head of Centre to report in writing all cases of suspected malpractice involving centre staff or candidates. A JCQ Report of Suspected Malpractice form (JCQ/M1), available to download from the JCQ website ( should be completed and ed to malpractice@ocr.org.uk as soon as possible after the incident. Delays in reporting cases of suspected malpractice may lead to delays in the issue of results. When asked to do so by OCR, Heads of Centres are required to investigate instances of malpractice promptly and report the outcomes to OCR. Further information is contained in the publication OCR Malpractice Procedures A Guide for Centres, available on the OCR website ( and the JCQ publication: General and Vocational Qualifications Suspected Malpractice in Examinations and Assessments, available from the JCQ website ( 7.7 Despatch of scripts from centres Centres are sent the following materials for each examination series: Attendance register(s) for each examination Address labels (for the despatch of scripts) Plastic OCR script return packets. hese must be stored safely when not in use. After an examination, centres should despatch the scripts with the attendance registers in accordance with the JCQ Instructions for conducting examinations, available on the JCQ website ( You must ensure packages containing scripts are securely sealed. It is essential the scripts are returned in the correct envelope; scripts for different components must not be despatched in the same envelope, even if the address is the same. 64 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

71 If labels have not been received at least one week prior to the relevant examination, please call the OCR Customer Contact Centre (see Section 1.5) to request replacement labels. Within three days of an examination, centres can download or request emergency replacement labels (depending on the type of label) from Interchange ( Handling contaminated scripts Occasionally, scripts can become contaminated during an examination. Examples of contamination include bodily fluids (e.g. vomit or blood) or warnings of a specific infectious illness that the candidate was suffering from. If you are despatching a contaminated script, we advise you to follow the instructions below when handling the script: Wear gloves when handling the script and then dispose of the gloves in a clinical waste bag. Even though you have been wearing gloves, wash your hands immediately after handling the script. Restrict access to the script. Scan a copy and then disinfect the scanner. Seal the script in a plastic folder and then in an envelope. Clearly mark the envelope as containing a contaminated script and indicating gloves must be worn when handling it. Put the clean, scanned copy in a separate envelope and seal securely. Clearly mark the envelope as containing a scanned copy of the contaminated script. Pack both envelopes into the script envelope with the rest of the scripts for the component and return as normal. 7.8 Use of candidate scripts We may be required to retain some scripts as exemplar material for awarding, regulation and archive purposes. 7.9 Special consideration Special consideration is a post-assessment adjustment reflecting temporary injury, illness or other indisposition at the time the assessment was taken. As assessments are designed to assess what the candidate knows and can do, some circumstances which affect learning or preparation (e.g. staffing difficulties) cannot be taken into account. Centres should refer to the JCQ A guide to the special consideration process, which can be found on the JCQ website ( for detailed information about eligibility. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 65

72 Applying for special consideration Applications must be submitted to the OCR Special Requirements eam within seven days of the last exam in the series in each subject, via the online tool, Special consideration online, which can be accessed via Interchange ( Examined units missed for acceptable reasons Special consideration is available only when the candidate has been fully prepared for and covered the whole course. If a unit is missed, and there is no result from a previous series, the unit must be taken in a later series. If the unit was missed in the certification series, an estimated mark for the unit will be issued, provided the minimum requirements have been met (see below). Certificating candidates will receive zero for a missing unit/component where no application for special consideration has been made or where we have not been able to accept the application. GCE he minimum requirement for current GCE qualifications is 50% of the total assessment. An Advanced GCE award will not be issued based on AS units only (even if AS units constitute 50% of the total assessment). At least one A2 unit, which may be coursework, must be completed. Please refer to the JCQ A guide to the special consideration process. For a two-unit AS award, 50% must be completed, or one externally assessed unit out of two AS units that contributes at least 40% of the assessment. If an AS grade has been given and certificated, the candidate is not required to re-enter the missed unit if it is required for an Advanced award. Where a candidate has received an estimated mark for an AS unit and also is absent for an A2 unit, the 50% minimum requirement must be met overall. Example aking a two-unit AS then a four-unit Advanced GCE award where all units are mandatory. Series 1: Candidate takes Unit 1, worth 50% of the AS certification. Candidate is entered for Unit 2 and AS certification but misses the unit for acceptable reasons. An enhanced AS GCE grade is issued to the candidate. An estimated mark is issued for Unit 2. Series 2: Candidate takes Units 3 and 4 and enters for certification of Advanced GCE. An Advanced GCE grade is issued, including the estimated mark used to calculate the AS grade. For the new GCE AS linear specifications (first teaching 2015), 50% of the total assessment must have been completed. GCSE he minimum requirement for GCSE is normally 50% of the total assessment. However, an exception will be made for those GCSE specifications originally designed to operate as unitised assessments. his is in recognition of the fact that the current terminal requirements were not in place when these qualifications were first developed. In cases where there is a single examined unit worth 60% of the overall qualification, or two examined components totalling 60%, the minimum requirement for enhanced grading is reduced to 40%. Please refer to the JCQ A guide to the special consideration process. 66 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

Only subjects in which the grades shown above are attained will be recorded on certificates. Endorsements Results for Speaking and Listening for the current GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355) will be shown independently of the qualification grade on the certificate as follows: Endorsement Speaking and Listening for GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355) Grade scale 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Candidates who fail to reach the minimum standard will be unclassified (U). An endorsement will not be shown on the certificate unless there is a graded result for the GCSE. Only endorsements in which the grades shown above will be recorded on certificates. 70 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

77 Absence from endorsement will not be indicated by a hash symbol (#) next to the grade, as the result for endorsement does not contribute to the calculation for the GCSE. Results for the endorsements for the following qualifications will be shown independently of the qualification grade on the certificate as follows: Endorsement GCE A Level Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) practical endorsement (first teaching 2015) GCSE (9 1) English Language Spoken Language endorsement (first teaching 2015) Grade scale Pass, Not Classified Distinction, Merit, Pass, Not Classified Candidates who fail to reach the minimum standard will be Not Classified and this will also be recorded on the certificate. 8.5 Other results indicators In addition to grades, the following results indicators could appear for some candidates within the Interchange ( and A2C results data: X (No Result) A result has not been issued. his may be because the candidate failed to submit work for any of the subject s components; there was an incorrect combination of units for certification; a candidate has been issued with more than one UCI or a script was not available to be marked. his will show as No Result on statements of results. # (partial absence) his character, used to denote partial absence, may be shown next to a grade if the candidate submitted work for some, but not all, of the subject s components/units. Q (Pending) his is where a result is pending or is currently unavailable. In each instance we should have contacted your centre in advance to explain why the result is pending. If you have not received any communication from us, please speak with your Head of Centre who will have more information about the issue. If you believe any of these indicators have been applied incorrectly, you may report this to OCR using the missing and incomplete results service (see Section 9.4). Note: Where candidates have been given an enhancement due to special consideration (see Section 5.7), there may not be an obvious correlation between the marks and grades shown on some of the results documents. 8.6 Unitised qualification results his section applies to both unitised qualifications and linear qualifications with a unitised entry structure. What are uniform marks and why do we use them? In unitised specifications, candidates can take units across several different series (where there is not a % terminal rule). hey can also take units more than once or choose from the optional units available. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 71

78 When working out candidates overall grades, OCR needs to be able to compare performance on the same unit in different series (as the difficulty of a unit may vary slightly from series to series) and between different units. For GCE, GCSE, Level 2 Award and Level 1/2 Certificate, OCR uses uniform marks to enable this to be done. Once a script has been marked by the examiner (giving it a raw mark), to ensure fairness and consistency across series and within subjects, an awarding meeting takes place. In this meeting, a group of experienced senior examiners look at a sample of papers from that year and compare them to previous papers and statistics, using their professional judgement to decide what the grade thresholds should be (see example below). he raw marks for the unit are already established (by the examiner or moderator), but they do not mean very much on their own. hey have to be converted to a uniform mark scale (or score), known as UMS. he weighting of units may vary, so conversion to UMS makes the marks compatible and comparable. UMS gives a fixed scale of marks with common thresholds that are unchanged series on series. Example Sally and Peter both sat an Advanced GCE Accounting unit, but in different years. here are four equally weighted units needed to achieve the qualification. Both papers are marked out of 80 and both students score 61. But, as Sally s exam included more complex questions than Peter s, the grade threshold for achieving an a is set at 61 (at the awarding meeting). Peter s exam was relatively straightforward and the a threshold is set at 64. herefore, for this unit, Sally achieves an a and Peter achieves a b. heir marks are converted to UMS (out of a maximum of 80) as shown below. Raw mark UMS Raw mark UMS ( 80) ( 80) a a a a b b b b c c c c Peter Sally d d d d e e e e Peter, therefore, has 61 raw marks with the a threshold for his unit set at 64. When this is converted into UMS, he has 60 uniform marks. Sally also has 61 raw marks with the a threshold for her unit set at 61. When this is converted into UMS, she has 64 uniform marks. When unit results are issued, the candidate s unit grade and uniform mark are given. he uniform mark is shown out of the maximum uniform mark for the unit, e.g. 58/80. Special rules for the conversion from raw marks to uniform marks apply between the top grade and the maximum and below the bottom grade and zero. his includes the application of the 90% conversion point for current GCE A2 units. 72 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

79 Calculating qualification results in unitised specifications When calculating a candidate s qualification result, we: Find all the candidate s unit results for the specification along with any previous certification results. For GCE, Principal Learning, Level 2 Award, Level 1/2 Certificate and Level 3 Certificate, if the candidate is re-certificating, check they have taken something new since their last certification. Find all the valid unit combinations for that certification. For GCSE, check the % terminal rule has been satisfied (see Section 3.5). Apply any other rules relevant to that specification: Common units in some GCSEs (see Sections 3.5) Locking in GCE Maths, Art and Design and Classics (see Section 3.6) Certification dependencies in GCE Maths (see Section 3.18). Add up the unit UMS scores for each valid combination and compare it with the qualification UMS grade boundaries (see below). Choose the combination that gives the best grade and highest UMS score. If the candidate is absent for one of the units needed to satisfy the qualification rules, the unit will be treated as achieving zero uniform marks when calculating the certification grade. his will be shown as # against the certification grade on results documentation (with the exception of Speaking and Listening for GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355). For details, see Section 10) Candidates cannot specify which units they would like to use towards an award, and re-aggregating an award is not permitted after results have been issued. Calculating the current GCE A* grade he current A* at A Level is awarded to candidates who achieve a grade A on the A Level overall at least 80% on the uniform mark scale (UMS) and who also achieve at least 90% across the A2 units. For example, in a four-unit A Level which has a total of 400 UMS, 200 UMS are available for the A2 units. o achieve an A*, you need to achieve at least 320 UMS for the full A Level (i.e. an A overall) and 180 or more for the A2 units. he A* is not awarded for individual units or for the AS Level. he structure of A Level Mathematics is different from other subjects, and so uses a slightly different rule. It is currently possible to achieve A Level Mathematics with four AS and two A2 units or with three AS and three A2 units. herefore, so that the same rule can be applied to all unit combinations, candidates must achieve a grade A on the A Level overall and achieve 90% of the UMS on the two mandatory A2 units combined (Units C3 and C4). It is also possible to achieve A Level Further Mathematics with more than three A2 units. In this case, the A* is calculated in the same way as it is for all other subjects, based on the three best A2 units. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 73

80 imisation of qualification results for current GCE Mathematics, Art and Design and Classics When grading these qualifications, we carry out two steps: Step 1 imisation of the qualification grades (including A*). Step 2 For the qualification grades determined by step 1, maximisation of the uniform mark totals for each qualification. Depending on the qualification, these are determined using the following sequences: GCE Mathematics > GCE Further Mathematics > GCE Further Mathematics (Additional) Endorsed GCE Art and Design qualifications > Unendorsed GCE Art and Design qualifications Endorsed GCE Classics qualifications > Unendorsed GCE Classics qualifications he highest possible grade is awarded for the first qualification in the sequence, followed by the highest possible grade for the second qualification in the sequence, followed by the highest possible grade for the third qualification requested in the sequence (if the candidate has entered for three qualifications). here are different unit locking rules (see Section 3.6) for Art and Design, Classics and Mathematics. In Art and Design and Classics, where the candidate is taking both AS and A Levels, the above steps are applied separately to each level. However, for Mathematics, the AS and A Levels cannot be considered separately. For a full explanation of the GCE Mathematics rules, see the JCQ GCE Mathematics Aggregation Rules Guidance for Centres, this can be found on the JCQ website ( Examples A candidate has entered for AS and A Level Mathematics and AS and A Level Further Mathematics; therefore, the highest possible grade is awarded for A Level Mathematics, followed by the highest possible grade for A Level Further Mathematics. he uniform mark totals for A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics (in that order) are maximised before the AS qualification grades are considered. A candidate has entered for A Level Classics: Classical Civilisation and A Level Classics; therefore, the highest possible grade is awarded for A Level Classics: Classical Civilisation followed by the highest possible grade for A Level Classics. he uniform mark totals for A Level Classics: Classical Civilisation and A Level Classics (in that order) are then maximised. In addition to the rules above, where a candidate is entered for certification in more than one qualification, we will always grade them to maximise the number of qualifications awarded. Please note: the above maximisation process places, for example, a grade combination of AU above a grade combination of, say, BE and a grade combination of BU above a grade combination of, say, CE. Where a candidate s grade combination includes a U, a request from centres to change the aggregation will be granted. No other requests to change grading combinations will be accepted, e.g. a candidate who has been awarded AD cannot request a grading change that would result in BC. 74 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

81 UMS for GCE Advanced GCE units are not always equally weighted, so different units may have different maximum uniform marks. he grade thresholds on the uniform mark scale for each unit are fixed at the following percentages of the maximum uniform mark: Unit grade a b c d e mark grade threshold as a percentage of the maximum uniform mark 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% he weighting of each unit within AS and Advanced GCE is given in the specifications, and the maximum uniform mark for each unit is given in the Current GCE section of the Entry Codes booklet. he relationship between unit weighting and maximum uniform mark is given below: 4-unit GCE imum uniform mark for the unit Weighting of the unit in AS GCE 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% Weighting of the unit in Advanced GCE 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 6-unit GCE imum uniform mark for the unit Weighting of the unit in AS GCE 20% 27% 30% 33.3% 36.7% 40% 50% Weighting of the unit in Advanced GCE 10% 13.3% 15% 16.7% 18.3% 20% 25% AS GCE (Double Award) and Advanced GCE (Double Award) units are equally weighted, so each unit has a maximum uniform mark of. he uniform marks covering each grade for each of the different maximum uniform marks and the total uniform marks relating to the certification grades can be downloaded from the results statistics area of the OCR website ( UMS for GCSE and GCSE (Short Course) For GCSE and GCSE (Short Course) specifications, the maximum uniform marks and uniform mark grade thresholds differ for each specification. he uniform mark thresholds for each unit and certification in each specification can be downloaded from the results statistics area of the OCR website. UMS for GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355) Speaking and Listening Results for Speaking and Listening (Unit A640) do not contribute to the overall GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355) result. All candidates are awarded a UMS of zero for Unit A640. OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0 75

82 8.7 Principal Learning and Project results points system Within Principal Learning, candidates can take units across several different series; they can also take units more than once. When we work out the overall grade for Principal Learning, we need to be able to compare performance across the different elements and so we use points to achieve this. A points score is very similar to a uniform mark scale or UMS; however, the points score is calculated from the raw mark differently. Each Principal Learning unit and Project result will be given a points score in addition to a grade (see Section 8.8). Level 1 points boundaries Unit grade PL unit (30 glh) 1 point per grade PL unit (60 glh) 2 points per grade Foundation Project (60 glh) 2 points per grade PL qualification a* a b u Level 1 Principal Learning is equivalent to eight units of 30 glh.

What are weighting factors and why do we use them? In linear specifications, each component has a given number of raw marks available (e.g. a written paper with ten compulsory questions, each worth five marks, gives a maximum raw mark of 50). However, the maximum raw marks across components within an entry option do not always reflect the relative value each component has within the overall specification. We use weighting factors to ensure that, when a candidate s marks for each component are added together, the relative values are correctly reflected. he weighting factor is the maximum weighted mark of a given component divided by the maximum raw mark of the component. For example, a qualification might have three components all marked out of 50. However, the specification structure is such that one component comprises 50% of the overall assessment (calculated out of a total of 200 weighted marks). his component has a raw mark of 50 and a weighted mark of (i.e. a weighting factor of 2). he other two components, which comprise 25% of the overall assessment each, both have a weighted mark of 50 (i.e. a weighting factor of 1). Grading Grading of linear qualifications (including the new GCE and GCSEs for first teaching from 2015) comprises the following stages: he components applicable to the relevant entry option (where options exist) are identified. he raw marks achieved in each component are identified and the relevant weighting factors applied. hese weighted marks are added together to give a total weighted mark. Grades are awarded by applying the weighted mark thresholds for that option to the total weighted mark. For Project, a points score is then calculated (see Section 8.7).

84 9 Post-Results Services Key points he most up-to-date results information will be available on Interchange ( All post-results services must be submitted online via Interchange. Candidates and centres must check personal details carefully as this information will be printed on certificates. Enquiries about results and appeals can result in unit and/or qualification grades being confirmed, raised or lowered. his section provides details about OCR s post-results services. Please refer to the JCQ Post-Results Services booklet, available on the JCQ website ( for further guidance about action on the release of results. 9.1 Enquiries about results (EARs) If you are not happy with the outcome of a candidate s results, centres and private candidates may submit an enquiry about results. Depending on the type of assessment, several services are available, which are described below. Enquiries should be submitted as follows: Unitised qualifications Enquiries should be submitted for the relevant individual units. Linear qualifications Enquiries should be submitted for the qualification as a whole. Arrangements for new qualifications for first teaching 2015 are still to be confirmed. Linear qualifications with a unitised entry structure Enquiries about results should be submitted for the relevant individual units, and not for the qualification as a whole. Available services Enquiries about results include requests for clerical checking and the review of marking or review of moderation. he following nationally agreed services are available: Service 1 (Clerical re-check) A re-check of all clerical procedures leading to the issue of a result. Service 2 (Post-results review of marking) A review of the original marking to ensure the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly. he service is available for externally assessed components of unitised or linear specifications. Priority Service 2 ( series only) his is as Service 2 but is only available for Level 3 qualifications, e.g. GCE, Level 3 Principal Learning and Level 3 Certificate. Service 3 (Post-results review of moderation) A review of the original moderation to ensure assessment criteria have been fairly, reliably and consistently applied. In addition, we offer the following services for specific GCE, GCSE and Principal Learning examinations for which the access to scripts service is not available: 78 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

91 10 Certificates and Certifying Statements 10.1 Certificates A candidate s final results will be recorded on an OCR certificate. An individual certificate will be sent for each candidate at your centre who has passed at least one qualification, detailing their achievements during the series. Before certificates are issued, centres should have checked that candidates details are correct using the entry and results feedback information (see Sections 3.17 and 8.3). Once certificates are issued, centres should check they have received certificates for those candidates listed on the certificate register. If you require certificates to be delivered to a different centre address (for example, due to a centre closure), please your request on centre-headed paper to the Results eam to ocr.results@ocr.org.uk. Missing or damaged certificates If individual certificates are lost or damaged within the centre, we will issue replacement certificates for a limited time. (If candidates lose or damage a certificate, they may apply for a certifying statement of results see Section 10.2.) Replacements for missing or damaged certificates are initially free of charge. Following this period, a charge will be made. Details of charges can be found in the Fees List ( he table below shows when charges apply and for how long replacements will be issued. After the final deadline, centres must apply for a certifying statement of results. Requests to replace missing or damaged certificates should be sent to the Results eam at ocr.results@ocr.org.uk. Deadline for free replacement certificate requests Deadline for all replacement certificate requests Certificates will be Series despatched by November February 31 March 31 August January 31 May November 31 October 30 November 30 April 2017 Certificate amendments Once certificates have been issued, there will be a charge for any personal detail amendments, e.g. to correct name misspellings (see the Fees List). Requests should be sent to the Results eam at ocr.results@ocr.org.uk, together with appropriate documentation, e.g. birth certificate. Replacement certificates will only be issued for a limited time (see above). After this time, centres must apply for a certifying statement of results (see Section 10.2). Early certificates If you wish to use them for award evenings, early certificates for GCSE and/or Entry Level Certificate for the series can be requested by responding to the sent to centres by the OCR Results eam in. he earliest date on which certificates can be provided to centres is 15 September.

What appears on the certificate? Certificates are issued in the name we have for the candidate at the time the award is made. Centres are advised to enter candidates in their legal name, which can be supported by appropriate documentation, e.g. birth certificate. Replacements will not be provided to accommodate a subsequent change of name (including a change by deed poll). Certificates will show subject awards in which a grade other than unclassified is attained. Assessments with unclassified or No Result will not be shown. Certificates will indicate a candidate s partial absence by a hash symbol (#) next to the grade. Results for Speaking and Listening for GCSE English (J350) and GCSE English Language (J355) will be shown independently of the qualification grade on the certificate, on a five-point scale: 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1, of which 5 is the highest and 1 the lowest. A Speaking and Listening grade will not be shown on the certificate unless there is a graded (A* G) result for the GCSE. An unclassified or No Result grade will not be shown. Absence from Speaking and Listening will not be indicated by a hash symbol (#) next to the grade, as the result for Speaking and Listening does not contribute to the calculation for the GCSE. Results for the new A Level Sciences practical endorsements and GCSE (9 1) English Language Spoken Language endorsements will be shown independently of the qualification grade on the certificate. Candidates who fail to reach the minimum standard will be Not Classified and this will also be recorded on the certificate. A qualification number is printed where the specification has been accredited by the regulators of external qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Separate certificates will be issued for AS GCE/AS GCE (Double Award), Advanced GCE/Advanced GCE (Double Award), Level 2 Award, Level 1/2 Certificate, Level 3 Certificate, GCSE, Entry Level Certificate, Principal Learning and Project.

We reserve the right to replace certificates if necessary. It is the responsibility of the centre to forward certificates to its candidates without any delay regardless of any disputes (such as non-payment of fees). Certificates must not be withheld without prior permission from OCR. Certificates may be handed to the candidates, and centres should obtain proof of identity and signatures confirming receipt. Alternatively, certificates may be posted to candidates by a traceable method, e.g. Recorded Signed For M, at the centre s discretion and responsibility. Any alteration or defacement of a certificate renders it invalid and may result in the withdrawal of grades. Centres must retain all unclaimed certificates under secure conditions for a minimum of 12 months from the date of issue. 86 OCR Admin Guide: Qualifications 2015/16 v1.0

93 Centres can destroy any unclaimed certificates after retaining them for a minimum of 12 months. hey must be destroyed in a confidential manner. Centres that do not have a means of destroying certificates confidentially may return them to the Results eam. A record of certificates that have been destroyed should be retained in the centre for four years from their date of destruction. Any untraceable certificates lost in transit between the centre and the candidate cannot be replaced. In such cases, centres or candidates may apply for a certifying statement of results (see Section 10.2). If you have any pending post-results service requests, we recommend you retain the original certificates until you receive the outcome of the enquiry Certifying statements of results We cannot supply replacement certificates to candidates or to centres requiring them after six months from issue (see Section 10). Instead, centres and candidates must apply for a certifying statement of results. his is an official copy of the final examination results held by OCR. here is a charge for each certifying statement, see the Fees List ( he application form for a certifying statement can be downloaded from the OCR website ( Certifying statements of results are issued in the candidate s legal name at the time the award is made.
