Subject: Re: AQA resits
Wonder if anyone can help?? Please?
I have 36 students who began AQA BS in 2001 and
many saved the resit of paper 3 until the last session for obvious
reasons. I am trying to find out if the old style paper - ie the style
they took last year - will be available for them to resit in June? The
person I spoke to at the board today did not seem sure!, promised a call back
and didn't. Has anyone else raised this with the board and got an answer? She seemed convinced that students would have to take the new
style paper using the pre-release. This does not seem to be a logical or
fair situation for re-sitting. Anyone any ideas, knowledge of the facts
or helpful contacts? We are not using AQA this year, having reverted
back to Nuffield so I did not go to training about the new style as I thought
it did not apply to me. It does not seem fair that students will have to
plow through what looks like a very long case study at the same time as covering unit 6 work, it also means this will have to be covered outside normal time as it is not all students??
