Hello
We've recently switched from City & Guilds to Pearson for our Functional skills exams and are having the following issues with how we are receiving the exam papers.
• Exam papers being ordered for different times (on the same day) but all students are on the one attendance list and papers are being packed together.
• Exam papers booked for the same date and time but different versions of the same level paper being issued. As students are expected to sit a certain version this gives a greater chance of a student being given the incorrect version especially if all students are sitting in the same room at the same time.
• For a recent FS Maths exam we had 4 different versions of the exam paper (two for the non-calculator and 2 for the calculator exam).
• Papers of the same version and level are being sent to us in different coloured packaging which is confusing as different versions should be packed in the same colour.
Is this normal for Pearson? I have emailed them my concerns so I await a response.
Regards
