June 2010 exams

New-look question papers and how our examiners will mark long answers on screen

For exams with separate question papers and answer books, there will be:

• a new numbering system using two digits
• a new-look answer book with spaces for candidates to write the two-digit question numbers.
  For guidance and help managing the change, AQA have produced the following support:
  • Teacher Guide (revised)
  • Exams Officer and Invigilator Guide
  • Exams Officer questionnaire feedback
  • Student Guide.
  • GCSE and A2 specimen papers and mark schemes are available for download from the relevant subject pages now. AS June 2009 papers have been reworked as specimens and are now available to view in the past question papers section of the key materials.

You need read no further if you teach components unaffected by these changes.

If you teach any components/units affected by these changes, read about the changes to question papers and how examiners will mark long answers.

A few question papers (mainly legacy GCSE in their last year of operation), are exempt from changes to question numbering but continue to work with the JCQ separate answer book.

These subjects that currently use separate question papers and answer books will become combined question paper answer books in June 2010.
