EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS (January 2015)
GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION CERTIFICATE IN LATIN PRINCIPAL LEARNING EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS (January 2015) This booklet has been produced to assist centre examination officers in the conduct of the January 2015 examinations. The booklet lists chronologically all the examinations to be held in January 2015 and gives details of the stationery and other requirements for each examination, along with any special instructions relating to DVDs, CDs etc. GCSE subjects are listed on pages 3-6, Certificate in Latin is listed on page 7 and Principal Learning is listed on page 8. The information is provided under the following headings: Subject & Paper Number This is the number printed on the question paper and the attendance register. Answer Books For each examination, an indication is given as to the likely requirement per candidate. Clearly, this information can only be a guide as some candidates will write more than others. However, it does provide an indication as to the basic requirements, and it identifies those subjects where this stationery is not required at all. The following indicators have been used: 20p New style booklet – must be used in examinations to be scanned for on-screen marking. The special (pink) scannable answer booklet will be sufficient for the vast majority of candidates, but if any candidate requires additional writing space, a standard 4 page (blue) continuation booklet should be used and not a second 20p booklet. Candidates must follow the instructions on the front of the question paper for indicating question numbers in the answer booklet. 12p+ Candidates will require at least a 12 page booklet and will probably require additional booklets also. 12p A 12 page booklet will be sufficient for most candidates. 8p An 8 page booklet will be sufficient for most candidates. 4p A 4 page continuation booklet should be sufficient for most candidates. This applies to examinations where most of the questions are answered in a question-and-answer booklet, but a small amount may need to be written in a separate booklet. No 20, 12, 8 or 4 page booklets are required. This applies to examinations where answers to all questions are written in a question-and-answer booklet. If a candidate requires additional writing space a 4p continuation booklet should be used. Other Materials This covers additional items which are issued with the question papers and which candidates will require in addition to a copy of the question paper e.g. Resource Material, Data Booklets and Graph Paper etc. 1 Exam Aids This covers other items which candidates may require in the examination which are provided by the centre/candidate (e.g. calculators, dictionaries etc); Special note relating to Calculators Calculators are only listed in this booklet where they are likely to be required by candidates.
