Regulating science V Levels at subject level
Guidance in relation to the assessment objectives for V Levels in science research and technology
Proposal
To support consistency, we propose to introduce subject-specific guidance setting out how awarding organisations should interpret assessment objectives.
We propose a change to the guidance relating to assessment objective 1 (AO1). For tranche 1 subjects, the guidance stated that no more than 10% of the total marks for the qualification should reward demonstrating knowledge in isolation. For tranche 2 subjects, we have clarified that this aspect of the guidance relates to Assessment(s) by Examination only.
The proposed guidance for the purposes of Condition VL(Science Research and Technology)1.3 in relation to assessment objectives is set out here.
