A level 4 September 5 October 23 October

No changes to exams

There will be no changes to the content or assessment of A level Politics in the autumn 2020 series.

Restricted entries

It is intended that A level entries in this series are restricted to those wanting to be examined following disappointing results or to those who had intended to take the summer 2020 exams but were withdrawn as the exam centre was unable to provide centre assessed grades.

Which grade will count?

If students already have been issued grades in summer 2020 and also decide to take examinations in the autumn, Ofqual has confirmed that they will be able to use the highest of the two grades for future progression.
