They are now seeking views on these proposals with a consultation that closes at 11.45pm on 8 May 2020.

Guidance on the awarding of GCSEs, A Levels and AS Levels in 2020
Following the decision by government to cancel all GCSE, A Level and AS Level exams this summer due to Covid-19, Ofqual has published further information explaining how students will now be assessed and awarded.
A guidance document for teachers, students, parents and carers is available, as well as information for Heads of Department and teachers on the submission of Centre assessment grades and a letter to students explaining how grades will be calculated and when they can expect to receive their results.
The guidance confirms that results will be released on the published results days as originally planned. These are 13 August for A level and 20 August for GCSE.
