What’s changed?  \n2.1 What are the changes to the GCSE qualification?  \nGCSE Biblical Hebrew specifications are changing for first assessment in 2020.  \nThese changes therefore apply to two-year courses from 2018 and three-year courses from 2017.  \n• There will be a new 9-1 grading system, with 9 being the top level.  \n• GCSE Biblical Hebrew continues to be fully linear, with all exams sat at the end of the course, and with no coursework or controlled assessment component.  \n• GCSE Biblical Hebrew continues to be untiered. There will be tiers in only a small number of subjects, such as Maths.  \nChanges to GCSE Biblical Hebrew content requirements  \nThe content requirements for GCSE Biblical Hebrew have been revised by the Department for Education and Ofqual. All awarding organisations’ specifications for GCSE Biblical Hebrew must meet these criteria.  \nGCSE Biblical Hebrew (9-1) specifications must include the following elements:  \n• Translation into English and comprehension of unseen passages of Biblical Hebrew  \n• Explanation of syntax and morphology within the context of an unseen passage, or translation of short sentences from English into Biblical Hebrew  \n• Study of two selections of prose and/or verse texts in Biblical Hebrew, including aspects of content, culture, social practices and values, literary style, common literary effects, and understanding of the cultural, historical and literary context of the literature.  \n• Selection, analysis and evaluation of evidence from the set texts, drawing informed conclusions to make a reasoned evidence-based response to the material studied.  \nChanges to Assessment Objectives  \nThe GCSE Biblical Hebrew Assessment Objectives have been revised for the new specification. The main revision is that the old AO2 has been split into two separate objectives, AO2 and AO3, meaning that there is a greater focus on analysis, evaluation and response to literature in the new GCSE.  \n\n| AO1\u003Cbr>50% | Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the language. |\n| --- | --- |\n| AO2\u003Cbr>25% | Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of literature. |\n| AO3\u003Cbr>25% | Analyse, evaluate ","cbCaimn7jrMXhjCJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimn7jrMXhjCJ","pdf",551856,25,"English","# Introduction\n# What’s changed?\n## What are the changes to the GCSE qualification?\n# Planning\n## Planning and delivering the course\n## Delivery models\n### Two-year course planner\n### Three-year course planner\n## Suggested resources\n# Assessment guidance\n## Assessment overview\n## Paper 1\n## Paper 2","[{\"question\":\"When do the changes to GCSE Biblical Hebrew apply?\",\"answer\":\"GCSE Biblical Hebrew specifications are changing for first assessment in 2020.
