BTEC Firsts in Music and BTEC Tech Award in Music Practice: December 2018 update
Read the latest information on BTEC Firsts in Music, including key dates, latest news and resources.
Access to scripts
The free access to scripts service will close on Friday 14 December. If you want to download and save any scripts from your students summer 2018 exams then you will need to do this by Friday 14 December.
Scripts do not have examiner annotation on them. The marked script allows teachers to evaluate how the student performed on particular questions in relation to what they have been taught; the Principal Examiner's Report and the exemplars that we make available demonstrate how the mark scheme is applied.
If scripts have been marked "traditionally" (i.e. not online), centres will have to request them via the Post Results section of Edexcel Online as in previous exam series.
Authorised Assignment Briefs and Schemes of Work
There are Authorised Assignment Briefs available for the new BTEC Tech Award in Music Practice. These cover both internal components.
There are also course planners and schemes of work for all components available online.
