Extra advice for preparing for exam days
All of our information and guidance on conducting exams is easily available on our website. It is important to note that many common exam-day issues, including issues with papers, can be resolved with resources provided on Centre Services. As part of preparing for exam seasons, OxfordAQA has produced a series of e-learning modules for Exams Officers to guide you through using Centre Services and accessing its resources, which we would recommend your school’s Exams Officer completes before the series begins.
Additionally, we hold lots of webinars on malpractice, running exams and other common issues faced by Exams Officers throughout the year, and you can browse our recordings or register for any upcoming webinars on our dedicated training page.
