We produce candidate record forms for all coursework and controlled assessment components. They are for students and teachers to authenticate the work, and teachers to record their assessments and supporting information.

Centre declaration sheets are for schools/colleges to authenticate students’ internally-assessed work and confirm the internal standardisation of marking.

Our free Enhanced Results Analysis™ tool (ERA™) gives you instant analysis of your students’ results. You’ll see how students performed in each unit and topic, and the marks they received for each question. This allows you to see which questions proved the most challenging, or how different classes performed, so you know what areas to focus on in following years. ERA™ is available after results are published.
