BTEC Nationals in Music and Music Technology: December 2018 update
Read the latest information on BTEC Nationals in Music and Music Technology, including key dates.
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.
2019 Assessments
There are new Administrative Support Guides for all exteranlly assessed units available online. These are important documents that you need to read through so that you run the external assessments correctly and you are submitting the correct work by the deadlines stated.
Authorised Assignment Briefs
There are now Authorised Assignment Briefs available for the new BTEC Nationals in Music. For the Certificate and Extended Certificate in Music Performance there is only unit 1 assignments but other will follow shortly. For the Foundation Diploma and Extended Diploma in Music all modules are covered.
