4 s 2015/16 1 General information This document lists the unit and subject award entry s for all series in the academic year 2015/16. Further information about making entries is available from the Exams administration Entries page of our website aqa.org.uk All entries for our examinations are collected by series, irrespective of the method of entry you use to submit them. The closing date for the receipt of entries and the date of publication of results for particular examinations determine each series. A copy of the Exam series guide 2015/16 in A3 format was sent to your centre in September It is also available from the Exams administration Entries page of our website aqa.org.uk s Section 5 contains all the entry s for all the exams (subject awards, options, units and components) that are available in any given series. You must use the appropriate entry irrespective of your method of entry. Basedata (containing information on the specifications, units, options and components) will also be provided for each series for centres wishing to submit entries by EDI. A separate entry, using the appropriate entry, is required for every assessment (subject award, unit or option) for which a result is to be reported. Before making an entry for a particular subject, you should refer to: the specification for the subject any changes to examination provision detailed in the appropriate specification any restrictions on entry detailed in Section 2 of this document. Please see the Exams administration Entries Entries for exams officers page of our website aqa.org.uk for full details on basedata and submitting entries. 4

5 s 2015/16 2 Restrictions on entry in 2015/16 Unique Learner Numbers (ULNs) From January 2014, all students entered for an exam at a state funded school/college in England need a ULN. The ULN is a 10-digit number used to access the Personal Learning Record (PLR) of anyone over the age of 14 involved in education or training. The PLR is an online, lifelong record of individuals' achievements which they can share with other parties (for example employers, colleges, universities). Before entering students, you need to get valid ULNs for them that match the details held in the Learning Records Service (LRS). We can't access LRS to amend errors so if there are mismatches, we will return the invalid data to you, via e-aqa, for you to resolve with LRS. Where the ULN is mandatory we will not process entries if the ULN is not present. However, if the supplied ULN returns as a mismatch from LRS we will report this. We will still issue student results as normal but will be unable to upload these to the PLR. ULNs will not replace UCI numbers (Unique Candidate Identifier) so please ensure you include them in your entries submissions. Discount (classification) s Discounting guidance can be found on the Department for Education (DfE) websites RAISEonline in the library section QAN Web Site The Department for Education (DfE) assign each specification a national discount (sometimes referred to as a classification ) on the basis of the subject area it covers - these s are used in the calculation of school/college performance tables. Some awards (for example GCE Advanced Subsidiary () awards) have two discount s, as they are grouped differently for key stage 4 (pre-16) and key stage 5 (post-16) discounting purposes 1. An early entry rule for key stage 4 (KS4) qualifications was introduced following the Secretary of State announcement that, from 29 September 2013, only a pupil s first entry to a KS4 qualification counts towards their school s performance measures. The early entry rule applies even where qualifications are taken with one exam board and then re-taken with another. Although the new rule does not prevent schools from entering pupils for examinations before the end of key stage 4, it aims to focus attention on whether pupils have been sufficiently prepared to achieve the very best possible outcome in that subject. Pupils can sit an examination more than once but it will be their first certificated grade in that subject that will be used for performance measures. You may wish to advise your candidates that, if they take two specifications with the same discount, schools, colleges, universities and employers are very likely to take the view that they have achieved only one of the two specifications. The same view may be taken if candidates take two specifications that have different discount s but have significant overlap of contents. Candidates who have any doubts about their subject combinations should check with the institution to which they wish to progress or company they wish to join, before embarking on their programmes. Discount s are shown in the tables in Section 5. 1 The JCQ basedata formats only allows for one discount in basedata. For specifications with two s, our basedata includes the key stage 4 (pre-16). 5

6 s 2015/16 Prohibited combinations Before making an entry for a particular subject, you should refer to any statement in the specification that deals with prohibited combinations of units and specifications, in addition to any restrictions of specifications within the same discount. Candidates entered for prohibited combinations of subjects will be reported on the Centre Query Report. You will be required to cancel or amend the entry. You must inform us of these decisions by EDI or e-aqa. Private candidates A private candidate is someone who enters for exams through an AQA-approved school or college but is not enrolled as a candidate there. Private candidates may be self-taught, home-schooled or have private tuition with a tutor or through a distance learning organisation. Candidates can only become a private candidate in the UK. Exams are not available for private candidates to sit outside the UK. Not all specifications are available to private candidates and those with internally-assessed units may have restrictions. Further information can be found on the private candidates page of our website aqa.org.uk/private Restricted pilot specifications Specifications offered as part of a restricted pilot have been included in this booklet. Most pilot schemes have the maximum number of candidates and centres that can participate determined by the regulator. Centres will normally be invited to take part in the pilot scheme. If you require any information on any of the restricted pilot specifications, please contact the appropriate subject team. 6

7 s 2015/16 3 Changes to exams A-level reform Some A-levels have been reformed for first teaching in September 2015 (see table below) with the first assessment of in, and the first assessment of full A-level in June Phase two subjects will follow, for first teaching in September Changes to levels levels will be standalone qualifications and will no longer contribute to A-levels New levels will be designed to offer breadth to the curriculum and will broadly remain at their current standard In some subjects, it may be appropriate for the to be designed to be co-taught with the first year of the A-level Phase one subjects (first teaching September 2015) Phase two subjects (first teaching September 2016) Art and Design Business Computer Science Economics English Language English Literature English Language and Literature History Psychology Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) Sociology Dance Drama and Theatre Studies French Geography German Music Physical Education Religious Studies Spanish Availability of reform qualifications within Wales We re not planning to offer our new GCSE, or A-level qualifications in Wales. WJEC was the only exam board that committed to offering Wales-specific general qualifications for first teaching from September 2015, 2016 and This means that, in Wales: maintained schools and colleges can only offer WJEC specifications Independent schools can still offer qualifications from any exam board outside of GCSE, and A-level, all schools can offer qualifications from any exam board. There s more information, including a full list of the qualifications affected, on the Qualifications Wales FAQ page. For qualifications where no new specifications are being developed specifically for first teaching in 2016 or 2017 in Wales, to avoid restricting the choice of subjects available to learners, the Welsh Government is allowing all schools to: offer existing (non-reformed) GCSE, and A-level qualifications offer new GCSE, and A-level qualifications designed for England or Northern Ireland, as long as they meet the respective regulator s requirements. Currently this only applies to GCSE and A-level Dance. 7

8 s 2015/16 Availability of reform qualifications within Northern Ireland Schools and colleges in Northern Ireland can offer all of our GCSE, and A-level qualifications as long as they meet any subject-specific requirements, even if the qualification was specifically designed for England. The only AQA specifications that schools in Northern Ireland cannot offer are: Biology (7401) & A-level Biology (7402), Chemistry (7404) & A-level Chemistry (7405), and Physics (7407) & A-level Physics (7408) as these awards don t have a mark for assessing practical skills that contribute to the overall grade. GCSE English Language (8700)(first exams June 2017), as it doesn t have a mark for speaking and listening that contributes to the overall grade. Availability of outgoing and A-level qualifications It is expected that schools will offer reformed and A-level qualifications wherever they have been introduced. However, a decision about re-sit opportunities for the equivalent outgoing and A-level specifications is due to be made shortly by the exams regulator Ofqual. Please check Ofqual s website for the latest information. GCSE exams in 2015/16 In December 2011 Ofqual announced that all GCSEs taken in June 2014 and after will be linear in structure. All candidates will be required to take all GCSE assessments at the end of the course with the following exceptions: For most GCSEs, a candidate who has previously certificated and is satisfied with the result(s) awarded for the controlled assessment unit(s) may be able to carry forward the result(s) for the controlled assessment. For most Double Award GCSEs, candidates can use the result of their Full Course Single Award towards the GCSE Double Award. This change to specifications, including information on carrying forward controlled assessment and topping up Single Award to Double Award GCSEs, is detailed in the information in Section 5 for each specification. GCSE reform English Language, English Literature and Mathematics have been reformed for first teaching in September 2015 with the first assessment in June There will no longer be GCSE English (the current GCSE English will be available for the last time in, with a final re-sit only opportunity in November 2016). Other subjects (Sciences, History, Geography and Languages) are being reformed for first teaching in September 2016 or September The subjects being reformed for 2016 are as follows: Art and Design Biology Chemistry Citizenship Studies Computer Science Food Preparation and Nutrition Dance Drama French Geography German History Music Physical Education Physics Religious Studies Science (Double Award) Spanish 8
