The details of how to do this are in our document Collecting evidence to inform school-assessed grades.  \nThis document outlines our high-level approach to how you should workout your school-assessed grade. We appreciate that it is difficult to consider a portfolio of student evidence and then work out what grade should be given to the student. Our approach gives you some structure to support this task, but also gives you the professional discretion to combine the pieces of evidence in the way that works best for your students.  \nYou need to follow a two-step process:  \n1) Allocate a grade to each of the three pieces of evidence  \n2) Use these grades to inform your decision about what overall grade to award  \nYou will need to provide information in your Rationale Document about how you have completed these tasks.  \nAllocating a grade to each piece of evidence  \nWe have said that you can select your three pieces of evidence for each student from a range of types of student work. As stated in our document Collecting evidence to inform school-assessed grades , the types of work can include one or more of the following:  \n• Completed past papers from the syllabus with a duration of an hour or more;  \n• Completed coursework prepared according to syllabus requirements;  \n• Work made up of questions selected from various past papers;  \n• Papers used as mock exams;  \n• Extended project work set by the school during the course of study;  \n• Tasks set by the centre, such as essays, assignments, problems, practical tasks.  \nWhere you have combined some shorter tasks in order to create a single substantial piece of work that has taken the student at least one hour of concentrated work to complete, this constitutes one of the three pieces of evidence.  \nIf either of the following apply to one of your pieces of evidence:  \n• it is an entire past paper from before the June 2020 series  \n• it comprises the full requirements of a coursework component  \nthen you can mark this piece of evidence using the published mark scheme , and you can allocate a grade to this piece of evidence using the published grade thresholds.  \nIf you have used an entire past paper from later than the June 2020 series , then you can mark this piece of evidence using the published mark scheme, but you should not allocate a grade to this piece of evidence using the published grade thresholds. Instead, you should treat this in the same way as pieces of evidence which do not have published grade thresholds.  \nIf your pieces of evidence do not already have published grade thresholds, for example you are using a specimen paper, or a task that you have created in your school, then you will need to take a different approach to deciding how to allocate a grade to this piece of work. You will need to reach a judgement about the quality of the piece of evidence in a different way. We will provide further guidance on how to do this, and links to all of the support material that can help you with this, by the middle of April.  \nAllocating a final grade to each student  \nWe are not setting any rules about how to combine the grades for a candidate’s three pieces of evidence to allocate a final grade to the candidate. Some schools will have three pieces of evidence that are well-balanced with respect to the time taken to complete, and the balance of coverage of assessment objectives and skills. Other schools will have pieces of evidence that are less well balanced or will have chosen pieces of evidence which are closely aligned to the syllabus requirements. It is at your professional discretion to consider how best to consider the relative weight that you give to these pieces of evidence when coming to your decision about the final grade. However you should be consistent in how you weight different","cbCaie8NF3UIWdJF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie8NF3UIWdJF","pdf",203111,"English","# Working out your school-assessed grade\n## Allocating a grade to each piece of evidence\n## Allocating a final grade to each student\n## Comparisons with previous groups of candidates","[{\"question\":\"What are the two steps required to decide a school-assessed grade?\",\"answer\":\"First, allocate a grade to each of the three evidence pieces.
