Thanks Lorna, they categorically said Number order, really helpful of them.

 

 

Hi Paul

 

For normal GCSE I checked with JCQ and they were happy for us to change to alphabetical order due to the large numbers (as long as we dispatched in candidate number order).

 

Perhaps check with Cambridge as they may allow you to order by candidate name (the rationale that 700 students are more likely to remember their name than a number).

 

Regards

Lorna

 

 

Dear all,

 

             A question to anyone who uses CIE to run the English IGCSE in the summer. My college has to accommodate around 700 students for the May sitting, and having lost our main hall we are scraping the barrel in terms of rooming. People may wish to answer ‘offline’ and be assured in confidence…….BUT do you sit each room in number order as per regs, or alphabetically ? And on inspection has anyone ever been penalised for this and if so what sanctions were imposed ?

 

 

Regards

Paul
