Has anybody recieved official notification from AQA that there is to be
a change in the exam structure ? Apart from the brief article in the teacher
supplement to the Business Review, and comments on this site, I have seen
nothing that indicates we need to reconsider our course material, let alone
consider changing our teaching. All my institution's guidance literature
for potential full-time and evening class students has been sent out weeks
ago, and is now innaccurate.
The printed 2003 specification booklet and the AQA website clearly state
that unit two will be stimulus response and unit three a case study in the
exam paper. If anyone has not seen the ( commercially produced ) magazine
supplement or made use of this site,how will they know about the imminent
changes ? There seems to me to be a strong chance that there will be a lot
of students misinformed about the exam requirements, and complaints in the
press.
Do the exam boards have no obligation to stick to the exam specifications
that they have published ?
