Introduction For the purposes of this document (a) (b) (c) WJEC is the trading name of WJEC/CBAC Ltd., a company limited by guarantee, controlled by the unitary authorities in Wales; an Examination Centre ('the Centre') is a school, college, establishment or institution approved and registered by the WJEC for the entry of candidates to the WJEC's examinations and for the conduct of those examinations; the Head of Centre is the Head of a school, the Principal of a college or the responsible person of an institution which is registered as an Examination Centre. 2. Registration of Centres 2.1 An institution registered as an Examination Centre must be able to meet the conditions set out below. The WJEC retains to itself the interpretation of these conditions in any dispute and reserves the right to withdraw approval of a centre at any time without giving a reason and without compensation. 2.2 The Head of Centre must be familiar with the system of public examinations which operate in the United Kingdom, and must be capable of providing an adequate invigilation team. 2.3 The Head of Centre must accept full responsibility for the correct administration and conduct of the WJEC's examinations. 2.4 The Head of Centre must guarantee (a) (b) an address which must be the normal office of the Head of Centre or Examinations Officer to which correspondence in connection with examinations can be directed, and which is normally permanently staffed during 'opening' hours; access to suitable accommodation for candidates to sit examinations including practical tests. 2.5 The Head of Centre undertakes to (a) (b) (c) administer and to conduct the WJEC's examinations in accordance with the regulations and with such other instructions as the WJEC may issue from time to time. Attention is drawn to the document entitled Instructions for Conducting Examinations issued by the JCQ. The WJEC expects centres to observe all the listed requirements; appoint an Examinations Officer to act on behalf of the Centre in matters relating to the WJEC's examinations: the Head of Centre may also be the Examinations Officer; make arrangements to receive and to issue to staff, as appropriate, all notices, statements, instructions and regulations, specifications and support materials, marksheets, information and advice, and other materials from time to time supplied by the WJEC; 3
(d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j) (k) (l) (m) (n) (o) issue to each candidate entered through the Centre: a statement of the candidate's examination entry, the dates and times of his/her examinations, the examining body's statement of the candidate's provisional results, the certificate issued by the WJEC, the notices to candidates which relate to the examinations; and to bring to the attention of the candidates, including any private or transferred candidates accepted by the Centre, any other instructions or advice to candidates from time to time supplied by the WJEC and relevant to the candidate's examinations; submit to the WJEC, in accordance with the instructions given when the information is requested, details of the Centre's provisional and actual entries, marks for internally-assessed components, forecast grades and any other information that the WJEC may reasonably require in relation to its examinations; make arrangements to receive and to keep examination material secure at all times: maintain the security of the WJEC's question papers from their receipt to the time when they are no longer confidential and keep scripts secure from the time they are collected from the candidates to their despatch to the WJEC's examiners; ensure that candidates' coursework is produced, marked and despatched according to the instructions issued by the WJEC; make any applications for access arrangements and special consideration in accordance with the regulations and guidance; submit and process any result enquiry and appeal in accordance with the appropriate regulations; submit any applications for changes to the timetable or examination venue in accordance with the regulations; ensure that all candidates in each examination, including private and transferred candidates, are identified; report to the WJEC any established, suspected or alleged case of dishonesty or malpractice by a candidate or of malpractice or maladministration by a member of staff discovered by the Centre, to assist any investigation which ensues from that or from any malpractice suspected by the WJEC and provide such information and advice as the WJEC may reasonably require; facilitate any inspection of the Centre by the WJEC; remit examination fees in the manner and at the time specified by the WJEC; retain all unclaimed certificates under secure conditions for a minimum period of twelve months from the date of issue and not to destroy any unclaimed certificates. 2.6 The fact that the Centre is approved for the conduct of the WJEC s examinations shall not be stated in or implied by any letter-heading, prospectus, brochure, advertisement or other literature issued by the Centre in connection with its courses, although such information may be given to enquirers who specifically ask for it, provided that this is done in a manner which cannot be interpreted to mean anything other than that the WJEC is satisfied that the centre has adequate facilities with which to conduct an external examination. 4
2.7 If the WJEC's current or former examiners, moderators, awarders or other examining personnel are employed in any capacity by the Centre, no mention of it shall be stated in or implied by any letter-heading, prospectus, brochure, advertisement or other literature issued by the Centre in connection with its courses. 2.8 Applications for recognition as an examinations centre must be made at least two years before the first examination for which it is proposed to enter candidates. 3. Admission of Candidates Candidates from any centre approved by the WJEC should be presented for examination by the Head of Centre. The WJEC will not enter into direct communication with candidates entered by this means as the Head concerned is regarded as acting as their agent. A candidate may enter the examinations through one centre only at any one examination. There are no age restrictions on entry for GCE Examinations or Key Skills. For GCSE Examinations candidates may be admitted to the examination at any age but those of compulsory school age will normally be expected to have completed a full-time course leading to the examination. Examination Entries Entries must be submitted to the Office by the following dates: GCE Summer Examinations, not later than 21 March GCSE Summer Examinations, not later than 21 February GCE & GCSE Winter Examinations, not later than 21 October GCSE Autumn Examinations, not later than 1 October Entry Level Spring Examinations, not later than 14 November Centres will be informed separately of the entry dates for other examination sessions.

Examination Entries (Private Candidates) Entry Procedures and key dates for private candidates are available on request from the office. N.B. Candidates who are in full or part-time attendance at a school or college which is an approved centre for the examinations are designated "internal" candidates. A fulltime student is defined as a student who has at least 15 hours of tuition (class contact) per week or who attends the examination centre for at least 7 sessions per week where a session is a morning, an afternoon or an evening. Such students are not normally eligible for admission to the examinations as private candidates. 5

6. Welsh Medium and Dual Language (English/Welsh) Assessment (a) Internal Assessment Candidates may present portfolio/internally assessed evidence entirely in Welsh, entirely in English, or in a combination of both English and Welsh. Awarding bodies are not required to specify the proportion of evidence to be presented in either language where candidates present evidence for internal assessment in two languages (Welsh and English). (b) External Assessment (i) Where candidates have been entered for a test or examination through the medium of Welsh, they may, at the start or during the test/examination, request the English version of the paper from the invigilator/supervisor. Centres will automatically receive corresponding numbers of English versions of question papers unless WJEC is instructed to the contrary. Where candidates have been entered for a test or examination through the medium of English, they may, at the start or during the test/examination, request the Welsh version of the paper, from the invigilator/supervisor. In such circumstances, centres will be obliged to request Welsh versions from WJEC well before the date of the examination. They will not be provided automatically. (ii) Where a candidate has a subject entry with WJEC in Welsh, components can be sat in either Welsh or English. 7. Combinations of Subjects 7.1 Any number or combinations of subjects may be taken except that a candidate may not take at the same sitting: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) More than one subject with the same certification title at the same level - e.g. GCSE Mathematics with GCSE Mathematics (Modular).

(N.B. In Religious Studies, candidates may take a Full Course in Specification A at the same sitting as a Short Course in Specification B, or vice versa.) 8. Calculators 8.1 Where the use of electronic calculators is allowed in examinations, candidates must be informed in advance that: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) the calculator must be of a size suitable for use on the desk at which the candidate will attempt the examination; the power supply for the calculator is the responsibility of the candidate and must be integral; the working condition of the calculator is the responsibility of the candidate; a fault in a calculator will not normally be considered as justifying the giving of special consideration to the user; calculator cases, instruction leaflets and similar materials must not be in the possession of candidates during the examination; calculators must not be borrowed from other candidates in the course of an examination for any reason, although the invigilator may provide a candidate with a replacement calculator; programmable calculators may be used but no prepared programs may be taken into the examination room; Information and/or programs stored in the calculator's memory must be cleared before the examination. Retrieval of information and/or programs during the examination is an infringement of the regulations. (viii) candidates are responsible for clearing any information and/or programs stored in the calculator before the examination. 8.2 Calculators which have non-numerical functions or give non-numerical information are not permitted. Such prohibited facilities include data banks, dictionaries, language translators, text retrieval and calculators with facilities which are capable of carrying out symbolic algebra. However, calculators with graphic displays are permitted. The use of any calculator which is capable of communicating with other machines for sending/receiving messages is strictly prohibited and the use of such calculators by candidates will be regarded as malpractice. 13
9. Coursework/ Internal Assessment 9.1 Where coursework or other additional work, such as practical note books, is submitted the WJEC will handle the material with the greatest care but cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage. The Committee reserves the right to retain samples of coursework for record purposes, even where coursework is normally returned to centres. 9.2 All candidates must meet the coursework requirements given in the specifications for the subjects for which they are entering. 9.3 The WJEC will require a confirmation of authenticity for each coursework component as follows: candidate s signature that the work is their own; teacher s signature that, to the best of their knowledge, this is the case; forms to be stored in centres and available for inspection. 9.4 Coursework submitted by a private candidate must be authenticated by the candidate as being his/her own unaided work. The coursework must also be authenticated by: the head of the centre where the candidate is sitting the examination. Initial marking of a private candidate's coursework must be carried out by a member of staff at the centre where the candidate is sitting the examination. 9.5 The use of word processors in the production of coursework is permitted subject to any limit on the production of coursework so presented as given in the specification or in the subject-specific instructions for the conduct of the examination. 9.6 Where candidates repeat non-modular qualifications, their moderated coursework marks may be carried forward during the lifetime of the specification. In unit-based schemes, internally assessed units are subject to the same re-sit and aggregation rules as for all units. However for certain GCE units, in which coursework is combined with an external assessment, coursework marks may be carried forward for reaggregation with the re-sit of the externally assessed component. All requests to carry forward marks must be made in accordance with instructions issued by WJEC. 10. Examination Results 10.1 Advanced Level/Advanced Subsidiary A pass in an Advanced/Advanced Subsidiary subject is indicated by one of five grades A, B, C, D and E of which A is the highest and Grade E the lowest. 10.2 Advanced Extension Awards (AEA) Performance of candidates in the Advanced Extension Examination will be indicated by either DISTINCTION or MERIT, with Distinction being the higher. Candidates who do not achieve the standard for Merit will be recorded as ungraded. 14
10.3 GCSE The results of the GCSE examinations are reported on an 8-point scale of Grades: A*, A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Double Award Subjects will be reported on the same scale but expressed as: A*A* - GG. Candidates who fail to reach the minimum standard for G receive no grade and a subject receiving no grade is not recorded on the certificate. 10.4 Entry Level The results of the Entry Level examinations are reported on the 3 point scale, used for all Entry Level qualifications in the National Qualifications Framework: Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3, (Entry 3 being the highest). Candidates who fail to reach the minimum standard for Entry 1 receive no grade and a subject receiving no grade is not recorded on the certificate. 10.5 Key Skills Qualifications (Wales provision only) Each of the six key skills is certificated from level 1 (the lowest) to level 4 (the highest) on successful completion of the internally assessed and externally moderated portfolio. 10.6 Candidates Absent from Part of an Examination The grade issued to a candidate is awarded on the basis of the candidate having provided evidence on all parts of the assessment as required by the specification. A candidate might be absent for part of an examination with or without an acceptable reason. Where there is an acceptable reason and the centre makes a specific request, the examining body will give special consideration to the candidate and may compensate for the missed component(s) provided that the minimum requirements for an aegrotat award have been met (35% for GCSE and 50% for GCE). For AS level certification, this must comprise two out of three AS units. For A level certification, a candidate must have completed a minimum of three units including at least one A2 unit. An A level award will not be issued on the basis of AS units alone. In the case of absence without an acceptable reason, a grade will be issued appropriate to the aggregate mark achieved in the subject, counting zero for the component(s) missed. In the case of modular or unit based assessment, provided that the candidate has been entered for the complete set of units required for an award in the GCE or GCSE specification the result issued will be based on achievement on the parts of the examination taken, counting zero for each module or part of a module missed. A GCE or GCSE grade issued in cases where the candidate was absent without an acceptable reason will be indicated on the results notification and on the certificate by the symbol # next to the subject grade and a note included to explain that the grade was awarded on incomplete examination evidence. A candidate s entry may be withdrawn if a written request is received up to 14 days prior to the date of publication of results. The entry of a candidate subject to investigation for malpractice or disqualification may not be withdrawn. 10.7 The WJEC reserves the right to withhold results and/or certificates where there are unpaid fees. 15
11. Requests for Special Consideration for Candidates The WJEC is prepared to give special consideration to candidates who cannot take their examinations under normal conditions and to those who, because of illness or disability, are absent from part of an examination or whose performance in the examination is deemed to have been adversely affected by such circumstances. Attention is drawn to the Joint Council's booklet entitled Access Arrangements and Special Consideration: Regulations and Guidance relating to Candidates who are Eligible for Adjustments in Examinations which has been circulated to centres. Additional copies of the booklet can be downloaded from the JCQ website www.jcgq.org.uk. For Entry Level Examinations, the only special arrangements for which centres will be required to apply will be with respect to visually impaired candidates i.e. requiring enlarged papers, modifications etc. All other arrangements will be at the discretion of the head of centre. 12. Unfair Practice Every candidate is forbidden to introduce any unauthorised material into the examination room, or to communicate in any way with another candidate, or to indulge in any other form of unfair practice. Full details on irregular conduct can be found in the JCQ booklet Instructions for Conducting Examinations. Candidates are also forbidden to indulge in any unfair practice in the preparation of coursework or project work required for assessment as part of the examination. Any candidate who uses, or is suspected of using or attempting to use, any unfair means should be reported immediately to the WJEC. If the Board is satisfied that an offence has been committed, an appropriate sanction will be applied. Full details of the range of penalties that may be applied to candidates who commit malpractice offences can be found in the JCQ booklet Procedures for dealing with instances of suspected Malpractice in Examinations and Assessments. Any centre wishing to appeal against a decision taken by the WJEC in a case of malpractice should lodge an appeal (together with the grounds on which it is based) with the WJEC within fourteen days of receipt of the WJEC's decision letter. 13. Retention of Certificates by Centres Unclaimed certificates should be retained by centres under secure conditions for a minimum period of twelve months. After that period centres should return all unclaimed certificates to the WJEC enclosing a list of those certificates being returned, and retaining a copy for the centre's own records. On no account should centres destroy certificates themselves. 14 Lost and Mislaid Certificates Any candidate who has lost or mislaid his/her examination certificate can apply to the WJEC for either: (i) (ii) A certifying statement of results, or A letter of confirmation (sent to employers or other persons in authority who may require proof of a candidate s qualifications). A charge will be made for both these services. 16
15. Enquiries about results (GCE/GCSE) Enquiries in respect of candidates entered by the Head of a centre will be considered only if submitted by the Head or Deputy. Such requests must be submitted by 20 September for the Summer examination, by 14 February for the GCSE Autumn examination and by 14 April for the GCE Winter examination. Any requests received after these dates cannot be accepted. Services available Service 1. Service 2. Service 2(p). Service 3. A clerical re-check and a statement of the marks. A clerical re-check, a review of the original marking (re-mark) and a statement of the marks by component for an individual candidate. Priority report for Service 2. (Available for GCE AS/Advanced only.) (Not available for individual candidates) A re-moderation of the coursework marks and a brief report on the assessment of the coursework. Coursework samples should be sent with the request (for Art & Design this also includes the examination). The centre will be invoiced for any fee(s) due. The scale of fees will be published annually and issued with the enquiry booklet, which will be despatched with the statement of provisional results. Requests are administered by a special Enquiries about Results Unit set up for this purpose and are processed as quickly as possible. A full refund of any fee charged will be made if a grade is changed as a result of an enquiry. Further details are given in the Joint Council booklet Post-Results Services. Procedures for Further Appeals If a centre or a private candidate is dissatisfied with the outcome of an enquiry about results and wishes to pursue the matter further, an appeal may be submitted to the Appeals Sub-Committee of the Examinations and Assessment Committee within two weeks of receiving the outcome. Further information may be obtained from the Director of Examinations & Assessment. If a centre is still dissatisfied after the final response of the WJEC, a further appeal may be submitted to the Examinations Appeals Board, 83 Piccadilly, London W1J 8QA. 16. Copyright 16.1 The WJEC will permit its examination centres to reproduce its past papers and all material relating to specifications for internal use within the centres. Centres, however, may not sell any photocopies of WJEC material. This dispensation applies only to WJEC material and does not cover past papers and documents of other Examining Groups. 16.2 Centres are advised that in view of the cost of reproduction, it may prove less expensive to purchase past papers than to photocopy them. Copies of question papers in small numbers for the last two years may be purchased from this office. 16.3 Specific permission must be obtained from the Committee in respect of questions from past papers or other material which it is proposed to include in text books, or in other publications. 17
16.4 Teachers, centres and candidates should note that the WJEC may use extracts from examination script/coursework material on an anonymous basis in educational presentations, materials and products. 17. Data Protection Act Any enquiries for information relating to this act should be addressed to the Data Protection Officer at the WJEC offices. CB/JD/W16(05) 7-Mar-07 18
