Are GCSE Exam Changes Affecting Student's Results?
Many students and parents have been left 'befuddled' by the recent changes to the GCSE marking system. The new system was introduced for specifications that were first taught in 2015. This means that the 2017 'English Literature' and 'Mathematics' GCSE have been marked according to a new 9-1 level system with 9 being the highest level attainable. 2018 and 2019 will have a mix of numbered and lettered marking systems but by 2020, all results will be shown in this new number form. This begs many questions. Why have they been changed? Does the new system help?
