Students taking GCSE maths, physics and combined science will be given exam aids for one final year due to the pandemic disruption, under government proposals published today.
This comes despite former schools minister Nick Gibb previously saying there was an “expectation” that formula and equation sheets would not be offered for 2024 tests.
However, a two-week consultation published today proposes that this support continue for exams next summer, “in view of the disruption this cohort of students may have experienced”.
Ofqual said there was “strong support” for the aids in 2022 and 2023 and that they “had a positive impact on student confidence when preparing for their exams”.
