FAQs

What documents must the Administrative Support Guide (ASG) be used with?

The ASG must be used with the latest versions of the GCSE English Language 9-1 Specifications for 1EN0 and 1EN2, the relevant monitor’s reports from the latest exam series, and applicable JCQ instructions and access arrangement documents.

What are the key SLE entry and submission deadlines for the November exam series?

The entry deadline is by 4 October each year. Candidate names become available in mid-October for grade entry, and by around 5 November grades must be entered and the self-selected video-recording sample uploaded to the Learner Work Transfer portal (LWT).

Can centres transfer or re-use a student’s previous SLE grade, and what happens if the grade cannot be found?

Students may carry forward a previous SLE result if they achieved a pass, merit, or distinction, using the appropriate transfer option code (1EN0 T or 1EN2 T). If Edexcel cannot locate the grade, the entry must be changed to 1EN0/1EN2 and the student must complete the SLE as usual, with amendment fees charged after the stated deadline.
