How to find GCSE and A-Level advanced information on summer 2022 exam topics
Posted by School Guide Blog Team to the School Guide Blog on 07 February 2022.
Exam boards have today published advanced information about what will be on summer 2022 tests, to help with coronavirus disruption.
The information will help students focus their revision for the final months and will give an indication of some of the content, texts, topics, themes and skills that students can expect in their exams.
The adaptation are in response to consultation the Department for Education ran with exams regulator, Ofqual, in summer 2021.
The consultation gathered more than 6,000 responses – with almost a quarter from students – and showed that more than 90 per cent of students and parents were in favour of giving advance information on the focus of exams next summer to support students with revision.
Each exam board has published its own changes and the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), which represents exam boards, has advised schools and students to only access the content on the relevant board’s website for their subject, “to minimise any chance of misinformation”.
