Information for Candidates
The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) issue the rules and regulations for examination candidates on a yearly basis. These regulations include the rules that examination candidates need to follow with respect to written examinations, examinations taken on a computer (on-screen tests), and non-examination assessments such as practical work and coursework.
In addition there is guidance on discussing or posting information about examinations on social media and a privacy notice. This privacy notice sets out how exam boards use the data they collect from candidates.
It is important that students familiarise themselves with these regulations, as failure to follow the rules in any assessment could constitued malpractice. The consequences for malpractice are decided by the exam boards, but could include disqualificaiton from the exam, qualification or the entire exam season. The regulations issued for the current season are available to download at the link below:
