Assessment objective weightings The table below sets out the assessment objective weightings for each assessment component and the overall GCSE qualification. Currently AO1 45 – 55 AO2 25 – 35 AO3 15 - 25 Assessment Objective Unit Weighting Foundation Tier M1 and M5 or M2 and M6 Higher Tier M3 and M7 M4 and M8 AO1 47 – 53% 37 – 43% AO2 22 – 28% 27 – 33% AO3

Assessment Objectives In GCSE Mathematics, students are assessed against three assessment objectives. They must: Use and apply standard techniques (AO1); (testing memory of the content they learn in class) Reason, interpret and communicate mathematically (AO2); and (questions that present a scenario and asks students to apply the correct maths) Solve problems in Mathematics and other contexts (AO3); (questions that present a problem and leaves student to solve it)

The 40% rule The Completion Tests (M5, M6, M7 & M8) should normally be taken at the end of the course as terminal assessment and contributes to the candidate’s final grade Candidates must take at least 40% of the assessment in the same series they enter for certification of the qualification

JCQ circular sent to schools in Jan 2010 Terminal and Resit Rules JCQ circular sent to schools in Jan 2010 Students must take at least 40% of the assessment in the final examination series when they certificate. This means that at the time they cash-in, they must sit at least one unit of either M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7 or M8.

Students may only resit a unit once. Terminal and Resit Rules The 40% terminal assessment means that there is limited flexibility in the way that students can progress throughout the course. Students may only resit a unit once.

Clarification GCSE Mathematics: Use of Pencil Circular S/IF/92/13 issued December 2013 Please advise candidates in the above subject of the following information:   Questions which require drawing or sketching should be completed using an HB pencil. All other questions must be completed in blue or black ink. Gel pens are not to be used. This information clarifies the instructions on the January 2014 GCSE Mathematics question papers, which do not make reference to the use of pencil. Please ensure invigilators are aware of this information in advance of the January 2014 series.

Benefits of item level data Can be used to see how well students have achieved in relation to other centres e.g CCEA performance for students in N. Ireland based on grammar/non grammar, overall achievement. Enables teachers to view results in relation to different aspects of the specification, down to responses to individual questions and even parts of questions. Can be used by teachers to quickly and easily analyse student results and identify strengths and weaknesses.

Benefits of item level data Identify which questions proved most challenging and how different classes performed. Track pupils, identify weaknesses for resits in different areas of the subject e.g algebra. Should be able to feed into planning, so that HODs can focus on various areas for revision work and teach effectively. Provide more comprehensive and diagnostic feedback from teachers to parents.
