In response to recent teacher feedback, we have updated the General Marking Guidance on pages 3–4 of the sample assessment materials for Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics in Context.

This update is intended to support you better with the marking of in class assessments and does not reflect any change to the marking approach. The changes include: 

• The addition of isw (ignore subsequent working) under the Guidance on the use of Codes within the mark scheme section. 
• A new section titled Specific Guidance for Mathematics in Context.

We have partnered with the Education Policy Institute (EPI) to fund their latest report, “English and Maths Resits: Drivers of Success”.

Commissioned as part of our #ResitRethink campaign, the report examines what helps – and hinders – the roughly one-third of students in England who must retake English and maths each year.
