Summer 2025 student survey for A level Politics
We are keen to hear from Edexcel Politics students about their experiences of studying our qualification 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 three exam series and received lots of helpful feedback from Politics students.
Look out for our Summer 2025 exam feedback surveys for teachers
Later this month, we will be sending out our 2025 exam feedback surveys for teachers. Feedback from these surveys help us to improve the experience of teachers using our qualifications and students sitting our exams. Your feedback is important to us so keep an eye on your inbox for the survey link. I will also include a link to the surveys in my next update.
