I have emailed our account specialist with the conflicting statements and asked for clarification, I’ll let you know what he comes back with!

Thank you everyone – clearly clarification still required!

Thanks for that Jen.  We will probably run a handful of FS maths in the summer, so will see if any updated instructions appear before then.  Last June we had an inspection visit from Pearson – for 4 candidates (of which one was absent!)!

Hi Paul

 

We have had this answer once from Pearson about the BTEC (the latest answer in fact).  This makes the most sense to me and is what we have been doing to date. However I think that the FS papers are going to have to be returned to Pearson rather than destroyed (according to our account specialist writing on 18^th January)

 

Thank you

Hi Jennifer,

 

When we enquired about this they stated that the BTEC papers were subject to the same rules as those covered by the JCQ ICE.  FS papers cannot be given out to teachers, and should be destroyed.

 

Do those answers compute with those given by Pearson during any conversation?

 

Regards

 

 

 

Hi everyone

 

In the wake of the debate about what we should do with Pearson functional skills question papers after the exams (apparently they are updating the ICE document to give a definitive answer about this) does anyone know what we are supposed to be doing with the paper based BTEC exam question papers after the exams?

 

We cannot get the same answer twice from Pearson and there is nothing written down that we can find.

 

Thank you for your help

 

Jen
