Pupils in Scotland will resit formal exams in the upcoming season, but a contingency plan will aid their chances in getting deserved grades.
The SQA says that exams will indefinitely go ahead, but there is a risk that COVID-19 restrictions could affect this.
“The Scottish Government will only cancel the exams if public health advice restricts physical gatherings at the time the exams are due to take place.”
However, the plan ahead will see revision support provided to students, from early March easing students back into exams.
The contingency will also help teachers and education providers will workload. By providing access just prior to the Easter holidays it will give a clear differentiation between set syllabus’ in college/school and to extra support.
Key Points for SQA’s ‘Scenario 2’
The SQA has a written plan for each course and assessment, showing what adaptations will be made. For example, Maths, English and Sciences in Scotland’s ‘Higher Level’ and ‘Level 5’ exams will have a guide on what content will not be covered in exams. This will help guide students and teachers with what should be focussed on, reducing work load.
For more practical, or coursework based studies, a study guide may be provided.
Details on specific courses and modification for upcoming exams can be found on SQA’s website.
