Edexcel Summer 2024 post-exam series teacher survey
To enable us to improve the experience of teachers using our qualifications and students sitting our exams, we gather feedback after each exam series. If you're a teacher, and your students have taken any of our exams in the May/June 2024 series we want to know what you liked or didn't like in this year's exam papers. We'll share your feedback with our senior examiners and across teams to ensure we continue to make improvements to our papers where appropriate so we can make sure your students have the best exam experience.
Summer 2024 student survey for A level Politics
We are keen to hear from Edexcel Politics students about their experiences of studying our qualifications and sitting exams this summer. We’d be grateful if you could encourage your students to complete this survey before the end of term to help give us more insight into our qualifications and assessments. We’ve used a similar survey with students over the past two exam series and received lots of helpful feedback from Politics students.

A Level Politics: New to Pearson Edexcel
We are running a New to Edexcel A level Politics training event on 23 September 2024 at 4-6pm GMT. This event is for teachers who are moving to Pearson Edexcel or delivering the Pearson Edexcel specification for the first time.
Timing for training events – survey
The subject advisor team at Pearson Edexcel would like to hear your views about your preferred time of day for when we run our training events.
We would be very grateful if you could complete our survey, which should take no more than a few minutes of your time.
