JCQ Advance Information Student Guide The infographic below explains how this booklet can help support students, studying for their exams.

RAG Rating Explained This booklet contains advance information published by a range of exam boards. Each exam board and subject area has published information in different formats. The school have added a range of RAG rating tables to each publication (where possible). These are intended to support students throughout their revision.

Red = a subject that I know little about and need to complete a significant amount of revision around Amber = a subject that I know about, but need to focus on in order to be confident in my examinations Green = a subject in which I know a lot about and am confident in answering high mark questions We recommend that students start by assessing their own knowledge and completing the tables relevant to their subject choices.

This will give them an overview in where their strengths lie and any gaps in knowledge.

Using the RAG table, students can then prioritise their revision to ensure that they get to a point where all of the Green columns are ticked meaning they are fully prepared for their examinations.

Example RAG Rating Table: Topic 4.1.1 Cell structure 4.1.3 Transport in cells 4.2.2 Animal tissues, organs, and organ systems 4.3.1 Communicable diseases 4.4.1 Photosynthesis

Advance Information and Instructions

For each subject specification this booklet includes the advance information and advice for candidates taking each assessment. The information provided has been taken directly from each awarding body. This information is repeated throughout the booklet for each subject, as each awarding body has their own specific requirements, so it is important to read for each subject.

Some of the language used by the awarding bodies is educational jargon, this will be clearly explained by subject teachers to students.

Exam Recharges

You will shortly be receiving an invoice for examination fees. The school charges these at the end of the Lent Term for examinations sat in the Trinity Term.

These will be due to be paid on the first day of Trinity Term 21.04.22. Exam fees are charged at the Awarding Body rate +15% to cover the additional costs of running exams to the school.

These additional costs include invigilation, exams management and administration. It is common practice for this fee to be charged by independent schools, although some consolidate this charge into their whole fee.

Each Awarding Body charges an exam entry fee for each individual candidate, the fee you will be charged will be representative of the examinations for which your son or daughter has been entered.
