New style exams for GCSE and A-level students could cause distortion and volitility in results, according to regulator Ofqual.
There have also been warnings the new GCSEs have been affecting the mental health of those involved, and calls for the current system of using predicted A-level grades to secure a place at university to be scrapped as it is “no longer fit for purpose”.
We want to hear from people who have been involved in exams this year about the issues involved. What has this year has been like for you?
If you are a student taking GCSEs or A-levels this year, how have you felt about the exams? If you are planning to go to university has the government review into higher education funding made you think about deferring your place?
Are you a parent? If so, what has the impact of this year’s exams been on your children - have you been able to offer support? Teachers: what have the changes been like for you?
If you work for a university, we’d like to hear from you about how the system is working and what changes you’d like to see.
