Hints and tips |
|
| |
| |
- GCSEs in the November series will be available for re-sits only - see our entries pages for important subject notes and entry rules.
- All schools and colleges should be familiar with the JCQCIC Instructions for conducting examinations (ICE) booklet. To avoid potential breaches of security and possible malpractice, care must be taken when opening question paper packets. Another member of staff should check the time, date and other paper details before a question paper packet is opened - see page 29, section 11.
- Estimated entries 2016 – we’re only collecting estimates for the small number of subjects that require a dispatch of early exam material. To ensure you receive these exam materials on time, please submit your estimates to us now.
- 2015/16 entry fees and other charges version 1.2 is available on our website. Changes include page 6 - corrected dates for transferred students.

| Submitting coursework and controlled assessment marks for the November 2015 exams series |
| |
If you’re about to submit marks for the November series, please note that you may only submit your marks online through e-AQA Centre marks submission (CMS) or EDI.
If teachers have an e-AQA user name and password, you will be able to grant them access to Centre marks submission.
If you need to submit marks for a student that is not on your mark list in e-AQA CMS, you must make an entry for that student first. This may change the sample requested for moderation. |
 |
For more information about getting started on e-Subs: Centre marks submission, including online tutorials and FAQs, please visit our website.
We’ve guidance for submitting marks, amendments and sending students’ samples to the moderator. Any mark amendments should be made online via e-AQA Centre marks submission.
It’s important too to check mark accuracy for your students. Please check the mark totals are correct on the Candidate record form and that for each student, the total mark from the Candidate record form is correctly submitted to us.
The last date to submit marks for the November 2015 series is 5 November. |

| |
If your school/college is submitting any special consideration requests for students for the November 2015 exams series, please submit these by Tuesday 17 November 2015.
Please note this is slightly earlier than the published deadline of 20 November and allows us to process your request in time for results day.
After 17 November you won’t be able to submit these online through e-AQA. If you have any late exceptions or queries, please email the special consideration team SpecialConsiderationQueries@aqa.org.uk and we’ll be happy to help you. |
