In June, Paper 3 of the Mathematics GCSE (Higher Tier, 1MA1/03) appeared to contain an exam question which was published in an AQA (another British exam board) Further Mathematics textbook. The exam question had the same diagram, values and answer as the question in the textbook. Pearson Edexcel said that they were investigating how this might ...
Most IGCSE subjects offer a choice of tiered examinations: Core or Extended papers (in Cambridge International), and Foundation or Higher papers (in Edexcel). This is designed to make IGCSE suitable for students with varying levels of ability. In some subjects, IGCSE can be taken with or without coursework.
For A-levels that retain a coursework element, the percentage of the final grade determined by coursework has been reduced. An example of this can be seen in Edexcel's new English Literature A-level, reformed in 2015, which reduces the amount of coursework to 20% (from 40% in the old modular specification). A-levels are no longer separated into ...
The tiering of qualifications allows a subset of grades to be reached in a specific tier's paper.

Untiered papers allow any grade to be achieved.

The CL-1201 design project studied a nuclear-powered aircraft of extreme size, with a wingspan of 1,120 feet (340 m). [4] Had it been built, it would have had the largest wingspan of any airplane to date, [5] and more than three times that of any aircraft of the 20th century.

[22] [23] Students took to social media to express concern at the disparity between Paper 1 and Paper 2, as well as the change in style of the paper. OCR assured students that the final mark scheme would reflect the different ...
The June 2019 paper was the only STEP 1 paper to be sat under the new syllabus before the retiring of STEP 1. The STEP 2 specification is based on A Level Mathematics and AS Level Further Mathematics, with some additions and modifications.
