1 GCSE CURRENT, LEGACY AND EDUQAS SPECIFICATIONS DIRECTORY 1

2 INTRODUCTION This booklet has been produced in order to assist centres preparing candidates for current specifications for GCSE examinations and the new suite of "Eduqas" examinations. Its main purpose is to provide a summary of the assessment, the codes, the components/units offered (including their weightings, maximum raw and UMS scores, where applicable) and a list of permissible combinations. The majority of the current or legacy specifications are provided in unitised form to allow for staged assessment and re-sit opportunities; Art and Design, Business Studies, Film Studies and Geology are linear assessment i.e. all components are taken at the end of the course. Some specifications are non-tiered and others tiered. For unitised specifications with tiered units, candidates are allowed to mix and match Foundation and Higher tiers, where stipulated. In common with other awarding organisations, WJEC previously revised the unitised GCSE specifications to make the assessment linear for centres in England. All centres in England are now required to use linear GCSE specifications (where candidates sit all their exams at the end of the course). NB. From January 2015 onwards centres in England ONLY are NOT able to enter in the January series. In Wales, independent centres are able to choose to follow either of the two options available for courses i.e. either unitised assessment where separate units may be taken at stages during the course or linear assessment, where candidates sit all their exams at the end of the course. For centres in England, candidates re-sitting GCSE English in the November series must re-take all units (except for Controlled Assessment for GCSE English which may be carried forward from a previous series). New GCSE EDUQAS specifications first teaching from September 2016 Following on from the introduction of a new suite of reformed qualifications last year, working with Ofqual, WJEC has produced a further suite of reformed qualifications (19 subjects) under the new brand "Eduqas" for first teaching from These reformed qualifications will be available to schools and colleges in England, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and the independent sector in Wales and are tabulated within the directory. The corresponding legacy subjects will be withdrawn in September 2016 and the last full legacy qualification series availability as well as final "certification dates" following re-sit only sessions, are tabulated within the directory. The regulators require WJEC to offer re-sit opportunities for exam and coursework/controlled assessments for GCSE English Language, Welsh Language, Mathematics, Sciences and Additional Science (but not individual sciences). Candidates may also opt to carry forward coursework/controlled assessment s. For all other GCSE qualifications, WJEC will be offering an opportunity for candidates to re-sit their exams only. Controlled assessment s can only be carried forward (this includes GCSE MFL Speaking). On-screen Assessment Some specifications now provide an option for either on-screen assessment or paper assessment; where this is the case, separate codes are allocated. This booklet should be read in conjunction with the following documents: GCSE Entry, Aggregation and Certification Rules from Rules for GCSE Specifications from 2014: Terminal requirements, re-sits and cashing-in: Notes for Teachers and Examination Officers (JCQ booklet booklet provides a comprehensive guide to the application of the rules, terminal requirements and in particular issues arising from the provision for re-sits, and options for cashing-in. 2

3 WJEC Entry Procedures & Coding Information,(September 2016-August 2017). This booklet contains detailed instructions on the submission of examination entries, as well as a complete list of entry codes. It can be found within the Exams Officer area of the WJEC website. SUBJECT ISSUES GCSE History (Legacy and new) Humanities and Religious Studies A (Legacy) Because of the large number of options available, particular care is needed regarding permissible combinations. Centres are therefore urged to pay particular attention to the tables on pages 36-38, 41 and 51 when entering for these subjects. 3

4 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNIT WEIGHTINGS AND UNIFORM MARK SCALE (CURRENT OR LEGACY SPECIFICATIONS ONLY) The Uniform Mark scale (UMS) is used in unitised specifications as a device for reporting, recording and aggregating candidates' unit assessment outcomes. The UMS is used so that candidates who achieve the same standard will have the same uniform, irrespective of when the unit was taken. Individual unit results and the overall subject award will be expressed as a uniform on a scale common to all GCSE qualifications. The maximum uniform for any unit depends on that unit's weighting in the specification. The uniform s obtained for each unit are added up and the subject grade is based on this total. The document GCSE UMS Guide" provides a detailed explanation of the uniform scale and its relationship to raw s and can be found within the Exams Officer page of the WJEC website (within "Related documents", "Results"). Short course awards comprise one or two units only and the majority of the Single awards comprise two units, although some comprise either three or four units. All Double awards consist of four units. Short course awards Short course subject awards for which a Single award course is also available will have 100 uniform s allocated. The table below illustrates the relationship between the uniform scale and each GCSE grade for the unit. Since units will be weighted differently, the table also shows how such units would be aggregated to achieve the final subject grade. Subject Unit weighting Grade U.M. 40% 60% 100% A* A B C D E F G However, Personal and Social Education Short Course and Preparation for Working Life Short Course are exceptions; they are not offered as Single awards and have 200 uniform s available for the subject. Subject Unit weighting Grade U.M. 40% 60% A* A B C D E F G

5 Single awards Single award subjects will have 200 uniform s available. The table below illustrates the relationship between the uniform scale and each GCSE grade for the unit. Since units will be weighted differently, the table also shows how such units would be aggregated to achieve the final subject grade. Subject Unit weighting Grade U.M. 10% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 60% A* A B C D E F G Science A, Additional Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics Single award subjects for the above Science specifications have 320 uniform s available. The table below illustrates the relationship between the uniform scale and each GCSE grade for the unit. The table also shows how such units would be aggregated to achieve the final subject grade. Subject Unit weighting Grade U.M. 25% A* A B C D E F G Double awards Double award subjects will have 400 uniform s available. The table below illustrates the relationship between the uniform scale and each GCSE grade for the unit and the different unit weightings. Subject Unit weighting Grade U.M. 20% 30% A*A* AA BB CC DD EE FF GG

6 Grade scales (CURRENT OR LEGACY SPECIFICATIONS ONLY) GCSE Short course award and Single award qualifications are reported on an eight point scale from A* to G, where A* is the highest grade. The attainment of pupils who do not succeed in reaching the lowest possible standard to achieve a grade is recorded as U (unclassified) and they do not receive a certificate. GCSE Double award qualifications are reported on a fifteen-point grade scale (A*A*, A*A etc. GG) where A*A* is the highest grade. The attainment of pupils who do not succeed in reaching the lowest possible standard to achieve a grade is recorded as U (unclassified) and they do not receive a certificate. Subject Grade U.M. 400 A*A* 360 A*A 340 AA 320 AB 300 BB 280 BC 260 CC 240 CD 220 DD 200 DE 180 EE 160 EF 140 FF 120 FG 100 GG 80 "EDUQAS" SPECIFICATIONS New GCSE EDUQAS specifications are "linear" qualifications in which all assessment must be taken at the end of the course. Assessment opportunities will be available in the summer series each year until the end of the life of the specification. Where candidates wish to re-sit the qualification, all components must be re-taken, unless stated otherwise (e.g. see Computer Science). The November series for GCSE "English Language" and GCSE "Mathematics" is only available to candidates who are re-sitting the qualification. Candidates who take an assessment in the November series must have reached at least the age of 16 on or before 31 st August in the same calendar year as the assessment. The new qualifications are reported on a nine point scale from 1 to 9, where 9 is the highest grade (Except GCSE Combined Science - see below). Results not attaining the minimum standard for the award will be reported as U (unclassified). A candidate who takes higher tier assessments will be awarded a grade within the range of 4 to 9, or be unclassified. However, if the achieved by such a candidate is a small number of s below the 4 / 3 grade boundary, the candidate may be awarded a grade 3. A candidate who takes foundation tier assessments will be awarded a grade within the range of 1 to 5, or be unclassified. GCSE Combined Science qualifications are reported on a seventeen point scale from 1-1 to 9-9, where 9-9 is the highest grade. Results not attaining the minimum standard for the award will be reported as U (Unclassified).A candidate who takes higher tier assessments will be awarded a grade within the range of 4-4 to 9-9, or be unclassified. However, if the achieved by such a candidate is a small number of s below the lower 4-4 grade boundary, the candidate may be awarded a grade 4-3. A candidate who takes foundation tier assessments will be awarded a grade within the range of 1-1 to 5-5, or be unclassified. 6
