Question

If a student takes the Level 1/2 Certificate in January 2014 and GCSEs in either Core/Additional or separate sciences in summer 2014, can the better result count in school performance tables as these are different qualifications?

Answer

No. GCSE and Level 1/2 Certificate are considered to be in the same GCSE family, so it will be the first attempt (the January 2014 result) that will count.
