The new grading scheme has two passing ratings: a standard pass is 4 and a strong pass is 5.This means that students who score 4 in all modules will pass their exams. For the granting of the gcse in English, students must offer all three assessments. The consultation gathered more than 6,000 responses, with almost a quarter of the students, and showed that more than 90 percent of students and parents were in favor of giving advance information about the approach to exams next summer to support students with the review, and about 80 percent or more were in favor of giving advance information about the approach to exams next summer to support students with the review, and about 80 percent or more were in favor of agreement with offering topic options in some GCSE subjects. The GCSE exams will be held in May and June, as usual, and the examining boards have already published their summer final exam schedules.
