 \n• These specifications:  \n-contain more challenging content  \n-are assessed differently  \n-are graded differently  \nWhat were the main changes in assessment?  \n• In most subjects, all assessment (counting towards the final grade) is based on final examinations.  \n• These examinations normally take place at the end of Year 11.  \n• There is not any controlled assessment/ coursework.  \nA few exceptions  \n• In some subjects there are still some ‘non-examined assessment’:  \n• Art & Design, Dance, DT, Drama, Food, PE, Music  \n• BTEC Technical Award Child Development  \nWhat were the other main changes in assessment?  \n• In most subjects (apart from Languages, maths and science), all students sit the same exam papers.  \n• There are more challenging command words (e.g. discuss, evaluate).  \n• There are more unstructured (longer) responses.  \n• There is a greater mathematical element (e.g. geography, science)  \nGrading-the 9-1 Scale  \n• The grading scale changed from A*-G to 9-1 (9 is the highest grade)– and U.  \n• The benchmark for a ‘standard pass’ grade is a Grade‘4’(equivalent to a low C).  \n• The benchmark for a ‘strong pass’ is a Grade‘5’ (equivalent toa high C/ low B).  \n• The oldA* grade was divided into two new grades-a Grade 8  \nor 9 .  \nHow does the 9-1 grade scale work?
